If I sell mine the replacement I want is expensive, so that's part of my consideration. The S doesn't cost me anything, I only switch the insurance on when I drive it, so it's only $300 or so for the couple months I have it turned on, relatively cheap in the grand scheme of things.

I already have a "replacement" or at, least a car that is being driven more.

Yeah, I would have a hard time giving up 400hp going from the Dodge to the S, it was bad enough for me when I had the S4, the Honda felt so slow compared to it.

Coming from the BRZ, the S feels pretty fast, at least at the top end.

Yeah, when we had the 500 Abarth hopping into the S was always nice as it was/is quicker. Not the case anymore with the Giulia as my DD as it's pretty quick.

So 2 questions:

There is no wrong answer, btw.

My Parents will be married for 50 years this July and I have been informed by my sister that there will be a party and I am responsible for sending out invitations. OK so then what? Am I expected to give some kind of speech or something? I don't think this is a normal thing that everyone goes through. I have a feeling my brother-in-law had a hand in this. He is such a huge brown noser to them it is utterly nauseating.

next question


If you were given (inherited) some items and do took them but do not want them would you give them back knowing that your fake brown noser brother-in-law would get them or keep them because some weird social construct says you have to or sell them?

1) I would say it depends on the family dynamic. If she is planning the thing I would expect she would do that, but you might have something short and sweet ready in case you get called out
2) Kept it and sell it, but don't say anything. Screw that guy.
