Finally some good news, it appears that I will hopefully receive a new vehicle, either #GermanEngineering or #JDM. Please understand that once I make a selection, I'm stuck with that vehicle for the next 5-10 years more than likely. That means, if you are a car dealership looking to sponsor me and make a donation because I am Zaki Qayoumi, the DJ of JETLAG RADIO, as people vote on the DJ Mag #Top100DJs, get in touch with me. Download my EPK (Electronic Press Kit) and let's have a discussion. Due to high insurance costs, and the fact that I am on the poverty line, and that I am waiting for disability to be approved, the vehicle must be between $20K-$39K full-size sedan. I need this new car/vehicle to move forward for ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC, my Startup, my Company. Your help is more than appreciated, and I'd like to receive this by Thanksgiving/Black Friday. I wanted to drive this new vehicle first day on Opening Day at Barnes & Noble Elk Grove on 9/15/2026. Unfortunately it won’t happen. B&N is where I will go to work on the Laptop, drink Starbucks Coffee, and write in my journal and read books & magazines. Same way as I did, when I first became a Bookseller in High School, way before I graduated from The Ohio State University and eventually worked over a decade in Corporate before the huge #BigTech exodus.
Enfin une bonne nouvelle : il semble que je vais pouvoir acquérir un nouveau véhicule, soit de conception allemande (#GermanEngineering), soit japonais (#JDM). Sachez qu'une fois mon choix arrêté, je devrai probablement conserver ce véhicule pendant les 5 à 10 prochaines années. Par conséquent, si vous êtes un concessionnaire automobile souhaitant me sponsoriser ou faire un don — en tant que Zaki Qayoumi, DJ de JETLAG RADIO et candidat au classement #Top100DJs de DJ Mag —, n'hésitez pas à me contacter. Téléchargez mon dossier de presse numérique (EPK) et discutons-en. En raison du coût élevé des assurances, de ma situation financière précaire (je vis au seuil de pauvreté) et de l'attente de la validation de mes droits à l'invalidité, le véhicule doit être une berline grand format dont le prix se situe entre 20 000 et 39 000 dollars. J'ai besoin de ce nouveau véhicule pour faire avancer ZACK TECHNOLOGY LLC, ma start-up et mon entreprise. Votre aide serait infiniment précieuse, et j'aimerais pouvoir disposer de ce véhicule pour Thanksgiving/Black Friday. Je souhaitais le conduire pour la première fois le jour de l'inauguration du magasin Barnes & Noble d'Elk Grove, le 15 septembre 2026. Malheureusement pas. B&N, C'est là que j'irai travailler sur mon ordinateur portable, boire un café Starbucks, tenir mon journal et lire livres et magazines. Je reproduirai ainsi les habitudes que j'avais lorsque j'ai débuté comme libraire au lycée, bien avant d'obtenir mon diplôme de THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY et de travailler plus de dix ans en entreprise, avant la grande vague de départs du secteur technologique (#BigTech).

I need a new #GermanEngineering full-size sedan, preferably Sports Wagon.
