willingly spending tens of thousands on an abused car?

Austin is the California of Texas. Anyone normal stays away.

Working for someone else. Almost have enough to do my own thing.

Still in your pant's pocket.

You're thinking about bankruptcy over a $15k-$20k car? That's like someone having a hang nail and deciding to just cut off their hand. You go BK and you can forget about credit and decent loans on future cars for 7 years.

You're right, compared to bikes it'll definitely feel pedestrian. But, there are still plenty of options for a fun manual. I always tell myself I'll go mild with mods, but its very hard to resist. Some how, the mods always win...

Despite what all the JDM weebs think, the 370z does not have the GT-R engine. It's not going to handle boost the same way and it's not going to be as robust. It's a deep, dark rabbit hole of money if you are trying to make that car uber fast. You may as well start with a better platform...

Wasn't meant to be. Foler mentions the conditions in Florida often and I wasn't sure if they effected the longevity that much.

How many times will you have to replace the ruined wood (and deal with the hassle of replacing it) before it would have been better to go with synthetic? Will the wood last 3 years each time? 4 years?

Kind of thinking "fuck you NFL and fuck all of the entitled, whiney, rich-as-fuck-but-still-acting-oppressed players" for at least this season. I'll read on Sunday instead. Thanks for ruining the one sport I looked forward to all year.

For kids, you're definitely better off not going too high. There's an important safety factor to consider. I would call it the interior wall of a dormer as well (like that picture) but some Google searches of indoor climbing walls should yield great examples of complex angles without too much...

Had a neighbor who built one into their fireplace, which rose up 2.5 stories through the main room (hearths on two sides). It was probably 7 feet wide and 20-21 feet high. The hand-holds were built in, not movable. The house was taller than usual, not a typical floor plan.

Basically, what you're saying is the hole is too small to fit your snake?

Completely agree. There really needs to be a competitive alternative in order to force better service.

Damn, didn't know it could move that fast. Nature, you scary!

This is the big take-away, lol. I had issues like you are describing on a Subaru back in 2004, which is why I suggested what I did. However, it literally could be anything in the line that controls car functions. The only reason I skipped over battery is because you said the car started, its...

I'd check fuses and coil packs. Neither like tons of heat or moisture and given the car's age, either could be compromised.

It will still be worth a half million or more and is worth repairing. Someone will fix it.

Hopefully. Nissan is in dire straits financially, however. It would be pretty terrible if they cut corners and went cheap on things as a result. But, a 380-400 HP, RWD relatively small/light sports car would be cool, if there's a manual option. Price it well ($39,000 roughly) and it should sell...

If anyone has a 3D printer and wants some shiz. https://www.myminifactory.com/users/3DArtGuy

You can reverse the CC payment, right? Make sure to document that shit (sorry...)!

Always a rush on first year releases (unless its a dog). There will be mark ups because they can get away with it. If you aren't in a rush, you'll save a bunch long term, but you already know that, so that's good!

They messed up the GT350 engine pretty bad for the first several years. Every manufacturer has misses. That's what warranties are for.

I want one too. But, I just saw the price on the Ford website: $49,000 (starting) for the model I think I'd pick. Holy shit man. Big engine can only be had with the automatic transmission. Well....never mind then.

Agreed. I'm very interested in a 4 door, manual, TTV6 Bronco. Hope it has a decent interior (like the F150s) and drives well. Have a feeling dealers will have ridiculous markups for a year though.

I'm trying to decide between a few fun cars for weekend/track use and I'm leaning towards the less powerful, slower one that also costs 10% more, because I've told myself I don't need as much as I used to. WTH? I'm also rustled because this probably falls into the "you know you're getting old...

Whenever we use ours, here is the post-cook routine: - let cool - put in sink and rinse then wipe down with non-metal tool (just a sponge) - wipe dry - put on stove top over low heat until all water evaporates - get 1/2 teaspoon (or approx.) of olive oil and put into warm cast iron, use paper...

Damn, that's giving property away. It's $500-$1mm per acre here without a house on it. Add in 3,200 sq ft and you're talking $1mm-$3mm. That's pretty tempting if the surrounding area is nice.

Shit....I thought you had more sense than to believe CNN and Twitter.

Yup, I figured it out after clicking around. New rustle; not reading properly to join gun group...

For some reason I can't post in the new Gun sub-section? That's a mega rustle, lol.

Fuck him. We haven't bought a car for anything more than invoice in years. The ONLY manufacturer I've run into that will not go that low on certain models is Porsche. Friends and colleagues have gotten Ferraris, Bentleys, Lambos for invoice or less plenty of times (we aren't at that level...

He actually told you MSRP was breaking even? Mother fucker, 2% UNDER INVOICE is still MORE than breaking even because of hold-backs and OEM payments. Tell him he's raping you verbally and monetarily and you'll post all over the interwebs if he doesn't sell you the vehicle for 12% off.

Unfortunately, the chunky controls on the RR/LR trucks are easier to use. Other options won't be as luxurious and I'd personally steer clear of Nissan/Infiniti vehicles. Volvo looks great, is unique and isn't overly expensive. But, it's different and older people don't always like different...

Abolishment of common sense and logic: Check Destruction of national economy: 50/100, processing. Please stand by.

If I'm going to play this game, I want it to look as good as it does in these promo pieces. But, I'm pretty sure that's going to require a whole lot of new hardware, lol. PC parts or guns....hmmm.

Offer invoice, but no more. At invoice they still have "hold back" and they get sales credits, so there is profit for them. Invoice first, then the rebate on top (which is not from the dealer's pocket either) and you've got a deal. Keep in mind though, taxes between states are all different. If...

I got an M4 new, out of state. There was more supply than demand at the time and it was in a fun color (IE, not white or gray which is all the sheep want). Negotiated 11% off list, paid $450 to have them drive it from central CA to TX, paid the tax at the DMV and I was done. Car was fine...
