    Yeah, BIK on a company car is 30% of the value of the car new per year. On a commercial vehicle it's 5%.

    I think I'll need to buy a car in the next few months. Will probably go for something cheap, boring, and used. Like a Yaris of Honda Fit or something.

    Nah, if I was to splurge it would be on something like an Abarth or a Fiesta ST. Golf GTI at most.

    I've read that those things wear through their parts at an incredible rate, so bear that in mind on your pitiful academic salary.

    Yeah, I don't want some shite that will break all the time. I already have one (currently broken) for those purposes.

    As for pitiful, first offer was $91k.

    Seems like a bit of a beast without looking as lol as that Civic R thing. A Mustang GT probably dons them both senseless though.

    I need to get a job in America. I'd heard murmurs our grads start on $100K and assumed it was bullshit. Maybe not.

    I think people with Bachelors start on average at $80k or so, with some fields being better than other of course. The two persons that graduated recently from my lab with PhDs both went to Intel and I think they are on $120k.

    Well that's fucking demoralising.

    Although, having $200K of debt probably evens the field a little.

    Definitely. Luckily, I managed to keep my debt down to a reasonable $0.

    Oh yes. The cartel look after their future cooks. Wicked.

    In all seriousness though, that's great. Mortgage free in 5 years.

    Back to cars, my car needs handed back/bought in a few months time. Think I'll just buy it and keep it for a year or two before I panic and buy a Porsche.

    Abarth. My friend has a standard Fiat 500 and it's really good, so that should be fun provided the windows let enough light in to actually drive it.

    I could barely see the mirrors when test driving it last night.

    EDIT: Didn't even notice that the windshield is tinted too. Who does that?
