New super-low-wall "cubicles" are at work. Good bye to all personal space and privacy. 
I started to seriously contemplate the merits of buying a 3.6l ATS4 (it's a Cramit with a shorter wheelbase and 330-ish HP and rear biased AWD), but then decided against it because I think Cadillacs have cheap feeling interiors.

So, your office now looks like "The Office".
Sold my E30 to buy a E36 M3.
All the ones for sale are automatics.
I will probably have nightmares from the previous page’s pizza discussion and will keep many of you misguided folks in my prayers.
A round pizza should only only be sliced like a pie, ideally eight slices or if it’s being served to children sixteen slices. Never into that “party cut” clusterberkeley. I can’t imagine the party that goes with that. If you have your heart set on square pieces of pizza most good pizzerias will have a nice thick Sicilian pizza for you.
For the bad bad pizza I’d still good crowd I have to disagree with that as well. I’m not a chain fan but understand their important roll in delivering to seedy hotels when you’re in a strange city and way too high to find a pizza on your own, we’ve all been there. There is a hideous rung on the ladder below them, the dollar slices places. If you can sell anything for a buck in Manhattan corners have been cut and it makes for a terrible pie. An awful white bread crust, off brand ketchup sauce and imitation cheese. This is the kind of thing the FDA should be cracking down on. I can’t picture sex bad enough to compare. Maybe surprise half asleep prison sex in a foreign country where you don’t understand how you got there but I’d probably prefer that to any of the dollar slices I’ve mistakenly tried.
tldr: You’re pizza should like like one of these two.

They also have trouble-prone electronics and abysmal reliability. I also think they are pretty boring to drive, no matter the engine, transmission or driveline layout. When the press says that they are better to drive than a BMW, all I can think is "Wow, a BMW must be like driving a wooden plank."
In defense of th eChicago cut:
-For more people, you have more pieces.
-A small square cut piece is more stable; you can eat it holding it with one hand instead of having to fold it up. Unless of course you have small hands like our President, he probably still has to fold it.
-The pizzas that are cut this way are thin crust. You don't need the crust to hold the pizza. Case in point, we had pizza last night. Only three finger tips got greasy--which is about the same as with any "New York style" pizza (still never had real New York pizza--I have to fix that someday).
Also, I agree with Wally on the "no such thing as bad pizza". In general, it is all good. In reality, there is some atrocities out there that are just disgraceful.
FWP: my colonoscopy “prep” drink tasted yucky last week.
The first world part: I just got a fancy new iPhone and SWMBO and I are in the market for a new car which would support showing the phone's screen on the car's screen via Apple CarPlay.
The problem part: Apple only allows its own crappy Apple Maps to work on Apple CarPlay. I wouldn't be able to see either Google Maps or Waze on the car's screen.
I should have gone Android...
I don't have enough space in my fridge/freezer for all this food I just bought at the store.
My enchiladas were too big
I was forced to take a company car.
And given approval to modify it, but at my expense.
Its a 2010 impala.
Right with you Wally. I usually cut mine in six because sometimes I just can't eat eight.

Having an excessively large enchilada is a rare condition that crosses all boundaries of culture and nationality. E.g. not just a First World problem
My first pizza/pie. When I was in high school I hung with a friend whose parents came from Italy. With a couple more friends we were sitting around the kitchen table. Momma was busy doing things. I noticed that she put some dough in a flat pan and adding things and lots of olive oil. She put it in the oven then turned to cleaning up. She then severed us our first ever pizza.

Exclusivity is not a prerequisite 
My enchiladas will be too big again tonight, we're having them for supper again.

I haven't driven an ATS yet but the CTSs are not hatefully bad, and for all the grief about the 3.6, we've found that if you just change the damn oil on a regular basis and completely ignore the oil life monitor, they will go a good long time on the timing chains. So the "high value V6" doesn't scare me. (And, yes, driving newer BMWs is like driving a wooden plank. The nicest thing I can say about E90-up 3ers is that they make the E46 look like a driver's car. The E46 is the car that got a bunch of scorn because it was softened and dumbed down. Remember people saying "The Ultimate Parking Machine" in reference to its overboosted steering? It feels like a 911 compared to the newer stuff...)
OTOH, I already bought my overpowered AWD Barcalounger, so the point is moot. Maybe if something bad happens to the S60R, I'll explore that avenue.

Any pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard enough.

It isn't the mechanicals that are troublesome on them. It's the electronic bits. The dashboard or radio or park assist system is constantly losing it's E36 M3. The best part is that because the park assist system ties into the BUS, when the modules corrode and dies (about every 20k miles, from all the water and dirt that gets thrown on them by the rear tires) it often knocks out everything else in the car and causes all sorts of other issues, including refusal to start. They are also $500 a piece and are only covered under 3 year/36k
I forget sometimes that I own vehicles.
"I should get a dirt bike!" (walks in garage past the dirt bike nearly hidden under car parts...)
(visiting Mom)..."Hey, there's a cool car in the basement! Oh wait, that's mine...."
I even have a jon boat leaned against the garage with an outboard motor under my work bench. Never crosses my mind.

I think the exception is something like Monicals where you are going to pour salad dressing on it anyway and don’t want that all over your fingers.
In reply to chandler :
I’m missing something. Is there somewhere that pouring salad dressing on a pizza is done?

That depends. Do you consider barbecue sauce to be in the realm of salad dressing? Because that stuff is great on pizza as well as salads.
I've heard of some weird pizzas that have ranch dressing on them, but ranch dressing is more of a joke-butt rather than an actual thing that is installed on food that you plan to eat.
