You are young and healthy, you'd probably end up "mildly sick" from it, recover, and you will probably be immune the next time it strikes in 10 years. I say go for it! Especially on a cruise where you're not taking it home to grandma who probably won't recover from it.

As stupid as it sounds, I figured I'd be fine because it seems like people won't even step out of their cars just using Zello or something for the cruise.

Plus grand parents have been out of the picture for at least 10 years now and with parents being 6000 miles away and lectures being online the oldest person I get to interact with nowadays is myself in the mirror

Hang on - what sort of cruise are you talking here? What's Zello?

A drive with the boys
Zello is this push to talk app that basically converts your phone to a walkie talkie


Did you think I was talking about a ship-cruise?

Yep - that's what cruise means to me

Never heard of Zello. I have actual walkie-talkies for our BMW group trips

Why are you touching other people's cars anyway? I have been to many shows & managed to never touch a thing other than my own car, dog and/or lady friend

Doors to bathrooms etc.

And my cars would have been on show - so its not me touching other peoples cars, it's who touches mine. Many are not as disciplined or as considerate as you.

I don't show my cars so no worries here. Drive > show for me.

I haven't really seen people touching cars at shows that I recall. I don't use public restrooms so never an issue for me

Company wide announcement was not bad, thankfully. Just people getting promoted & my new temporary boss is now my permanent boss, ugh. Marketing girl got promoted to manager. She sucks & is part of why we have no brand awareness wtf?! I, once again, got the shaft.

Also, I think I will keep skipping shaving to see just how bad of a "beard" I can or cannot grow. I don't think it will look like a beard at all

Had smoked a lousy E93 with a nice gal inside, she gave me the finger and I showed her how to brake short with my ceramics.

I just discovered my favorite artist has made a song sampling the soundtrack from the greatest movie ever made. Shame Kanye refuses to drop TurboGrafx and Yandhi :I

I can die in peace, time to break quarantine I clearly served my purpose on this planet to be awarded with this

Doing my part to help local small business with this statewide shut down...I have some Irish Cream truffles being delivered today. So much for forcing myself to not eat candy for a week.

Well... there's why she was promoted.

Despite being financially solvent, i thought to take up BMWFS and Ally Financial on their offer of deferred payments....



(Eventually decided not to because of fears of bad karma and also because my interest expense goes up slightly over the loan terms)

It wasn't a street race, just a normal overtaking. Quitting that with such a gesture seems not real appropriate, ain't?
