It involved some disagreeable women near us and their coital habits including their heads through toilet seats. I'm curious if she remembers this conversation because I remember it vividly. Pretty sure I told RJ afterwards that was in love with her. 
She definitely remembers meeting you (she and I think it was at American Tap Room in Reston Town Center), but not that specific conversation. That does sound like an Alissa conversation. You should hear the stuff she talks about with her fellow nurse coworkers... I just look at nearby people and their reactions when they over hear them.
I cannot un-hear that conversation
It has been 1 day since major systems failure on the e91

ATR sounds right... and the fact RJ remembers but the Rays don't probably says something.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Nice choice.
I posted the car for sale on e90 forums and told my wife we need to have a discussion about my poor life our car choices although its a little tough to think about the situation when she's not working (gov shut down) and we just bought a house.

You can always make the desperation move and buy a Prius.

What if the Prius was the last manual car offered?

I'd say the manual was officially deceased.

It's great for what it is and she loves it. It's like a less powerful GTI that I don't have to worry about. It's quick enough for a street car. I have a race car to deal with when I feel like hating myself (because, knock on wood, the E36 M3 has been very well behaved)
Just get this already.

For the price of an APR tune or less you can swap a motor into it if the 2.5 isn't your cup of tea, then you just need a set of wheels?
This particular one is a 325i wagon with a 330i Zhp motor, trans, diff, bumpers, and Suspension swapped.
Here's a watch thread of E46 Wagons for sale: https://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=1093661

You know who youre talking to right?
The E46 gets a lot of things right for sure...... An E46 M would make a nice 2nd car maybe, and gives me a chubby in Imola red but I dont need an even older daily driver wagon.

Option A: buy whatever new manual wagon is available, deal with new car bullshit to include ridiculously complex sub-systems under warranty, freak out and sell when it acts up just before or just after it's out of warranty. Repeat.
Option B: buy old manual wagon, deal with old car bullshit, possibly through restomodding, it'll break and act up but may be simpler/cheaper to fix. Live with.
I think you should buy/build a E46 M3 330 ZHP //whatever wagon. On a long enough timeline, it has to eventually get 100% sorted and "bulletproof", right? I may just be naïve as I merely adopted the idea of living with a BMW, you were born in it, molded by it.

That's hot. I'm just not sure I have the energy for that plus my motorcycle affliction.

A proper S54 swap that will be reliable is going to cost $8–12k. Anybody telling you less hasn’t done it properly or at all in the first place. The hardware is easy, but any S54 at this point needs a pretty heavy refresh.
It’s also really sensitive to gearing because of its torque curve, stock is 3.62 and anything less is going to make it feel like a turd.
