I would go GTS to scratch that itch and see if it's really what you want; you been talking about a targa for years

458/Performante ended up being more my cup of tea after driving em, gotta set my sights higher now

I still want a 458

^^^^ LOL who doesnt want a 458... the people who doesnt want it probably already have one... or have a LFA


And the Porsche Rental program have insurance built into the payment, so your only expense is gas... if you dont hit anything ofc

Man, I'm only lower case rich, not upper case RICH. A 458 is nothing more than a poster fantasy for me.

That'd be a great way to do it. Depending on what the overage fee is like you'd need 2 months to get the mileage to do it, but split with a buddy it'd be ~$4200 each to do it in a 911 or ~$2700 for a Cayman instead of your own vehicle which isn't too bad. It's certainly cheaper than the normal way of getting to do that drive with a Porsche and having to buy it lol.

Day rentals are probably already $1-2K!

If you figure 2 weeks to do the trip you're spending $2-300/day to have the Porsche so it's a bargain by comparison lol.

I doubt that Porsche rental supports multiple drivers no?

If only you put your condo for sale........ stonk returns might get you a 20k return, but you cant drive stonk returns

You know what to do.

Rentals allow 2 drivers too - they offered to put my wife on the car when I had a 992 a few years ago.

$680/day (incl taxes) for a 911 and I think I paid about $400/day for the Boxster GTS.

I can't recall what the charge is for going on mileage but I don't remember it being too high - I didn't worry about the cost of going over.

The lesson here for BIC is to sell his CTR and his house then go rent a 911 once a year.

No the lesson is go to the gym with hobs then get picked up by the Ferrari girl. ??? Free Ferrari :accepted: stonk returns are for the poor

I refused her one too many times so last few interactions she brought food to the gym for me to test.

What kind of a stupid fat fuck do people think I am that I have to eat at the god damn gym ?!

Here you go fatty, enjoy my 5 spice pork belly with rice ! Right before you do a 40 minute run. Other dudes at the gym look at me like I’m a fucking weirdo

I thought Turo has a vehicle MSRP limit of something that isn't too high -- like $70k or $80k max?

That would definitely be new. I've looked up renting GT3s or Ferraris on trips before. Never done it, but they were there. That would pretty much limit turo to model 3s and civics these days.

Looks like it's 150K in Canada. No idea how that Dakar got posted but it looks like that user is a super host.

pretty sure that stupid beetle is worth more than 150k. also pretty sure you cant even buy a base model beetle nowadays for less than 150k.

stupid trash ass beetles

i derailed the shit out of the thread. sorry bic baws.

you stick to your guns young man.

If you want some 30-40 year old lady with money to blow your cock, come to my gym in richmond. She seems to want a project or an idiot... or a pet of some sort to take care of.

And get you out of debt :accepted:

Is this offer open to RS members as well? Asking for a friend!

Feedback on Professional Associations as an Indivdual/Business
 

Are you guys part of any professional associations? If you are a business owner or manager, is your organization part of any associations?

If so, is it worth it? If not, what changes would you like to see (benefits/events/etc)?

I'm interviewing for a role next week in member relations for a B2B professional association, so I want to come up with a few tactics to increase membership or suggest the creation of programs. I have some ideas already, but I wanted to fact check this on a wider scale.

From personal experience, a big emphasis on "it depends."

It's worth trying out to gauge the landscape, but that also boils down to luck and opportunity. If you can network, help grow a business or at least get some leads, then yes, it's worth it. But if there's an economic downturn, or you know that key influencers never show up, then there really is no value. Sometimes, it can be a complete circle jerk, but on the other hand, these things can be a complete gold mine. Your job is to sell.

For example, if you have a group of PMP-certified project managers who meet regularly and their desire is to network and get new leads to jobs opportunities, but you have no companies involved and everyone is out of a job, there may be no value in the membership, so you have to create the value to them. You'll have a lot of new graduates who are keeners and think it's prestigious to be part of an exclusive club, if you will, so you can target these clowns easily.

On a personal level, I'm at a point in my career and life where I don't feel I need to be a part of any professional associations anymore, so I stopped renewing my membership and became a recluse. I didn't feel I got any value out of it early on in my career, but that was the market in Vancouver, and attitudes have changed over the past decade or so.

im on a bunch of these organizations and its all a waste of time. frankly they just hold events to spend money and promote their own farts.

yearly get-together to drink and discuss how self-important everyone is.

Not everyone is a shipping mogul, okay? (But this is why Badhobz is rich, and the rest of us are poor.) :okay:
