Well, the marriage licence is filed. 25 days till I get to marry a pretty drat cool gal. We have had our share of ups and downs, but she knows me all to well. And I know her all to well... But we still try to find something new about each other to keep it fun. 2015 is shaping out to be alright.

4.9 liters of fury? The no-starts, when they are working correctly, are pretty bad rear end engines. But keeping them running...... gently caress that.

NitroSpazzz posted:I've come to about the same conclusion. Very very little interest in getting married and no interest at all in having kids. Marriage, well the second income and tax breaks would be pretty sweet. My parents laugh and say someday I'll change my mind, maybe they're right but so far it's a big nope. You know, after I went through a divorce, I said screw it, not getting married again. Dated here and there but it was always batshit crazy chicks. Then I met the girl I am now marrying. We have had our ups and downs, but we both know we aren't soul mates or anything like that, but are drat good friends, drat good lovers and we fit together well. She lets me have ridiculous poo poo, She does what she wants, its quite nice. She knows some stuff about my hobbies, but isn't all jealous when I want to go out to the garage and beat on something. She just asks that I wash up before I go to bed. Edit: she does ask that she has a moderately priced practical sedan. And we haven't made any major purchases lately mostly because we are trying to save up for a big down payment on a home. We even have similar tastes in homes, and agree that a huge home for 2 people is a little ridiculous, but we want something decent sized enough to raise a kid or two, if we ever do cross that bridge.

I have been kicking around the idea of doing something powered with a 750-1000 cc engine. But I'm going to do a cycle car first powered with a B&S 13 HP motor first, then figure out what I did wrong or could do better then build a tube chassis.

LloydDobler posted:Yeah I'm at 5.62% on my first and 8.375% on my 2nd. I've done the math, I'm making out really good on this deal. Going from sub-prime sucker to smart with money. And as for down payments, I'm talking about selling and buying a new place, 5-10 years from now. I could keep this place as a rental but I'm pretty sure I don't want to play landlord. Landlord seems to be fun at first, but then all the nightmares associated with it if you have terrible renters. And tenant-landlord laws can vary by state, but as long as the tenants continue to pay, there is not a ton as a land lord you can really do. (this is greatly summed up, but the gist of it)

Its a sign that I most likely need a new job when I tell middle level managers to gently caress off? Because they wanted a train to pick up cars that didn't have enough horsepower to make the hill... And my quote "yeah you can gently caress off pushing that thing up a hill" and hung up. I'm for further education, but when you don't know how to do my job (let alone never pulled a cut lever) then don't tell me how to do it. Bunch of educated morons. (This is just common sense poo poo) Thanks... Done venting.

Liquid Communism posted:Yeah, I'm not in a huge hurry, so keeping an eye out for that must-have deal while my savings grow. If I can put down $10k, and have another $10k or so leeway for the immediate repairs that one always finds in a cheap house, I'll be comfortable. I am personally looking near the Ames area, but in the small towns around it. There has been some drat good deals lately, there was a nice 3 bed 2 bath with a 3 car garage for sale in Huxely for 140,000. And the garage had plenty of electrical service.

Beg for a new network access gateway. Can't get one. Not sticking up for these guys, but a friend is a tech for Mediacom here, he says he if goes beyond what his work order says, he gets bitched at for doing extra work. Plus they have tattlers in the trucks, they are so micro managed its a joke. So he just does what he is told to do and does no more. He feels like a dick when he can't do anything, but its the way they want to run the company.

He used to call it in, but they always make him schedule it out (2-3 days) even if his work order is completely finished, they don't allow it. It could be different for AT&T, but thats what he has to deal with it.

New pump in, changed the spark plugs and wires.... Jump in to fire it up and the battery is about dead, no biggie, I don't drive it much just put the charger on it. Let it charge for 5 hours and it barely turns over. I unhooked the battery cables and I watch my volt meter dropping slowly. loving a.... Luckily boat battery was near by... So now the rover has a deep cycle battery.... gently caress it, its staying in there.

And I don't care if I am lazy, Americans work way to drat hard and skip vacations thinking it will get them ahead, which is silly logic. Being burnt out from work will just make poor quality work.

Fox bodies are just stupid expensive, and to get a decent non clapped out example in the midwest is a 10k all day long. I wouldn't mind the next gen model, but you can't cram to much power into those 4.6 units, with out some cash.

Mat_Drinks posted:So they're generally pretty highly priced then? That's good to hear as while it wasn't crazy high (to me at least) in terms of my budget and what I'm willing to pay for insurance on a car. It'll be a good rolling comparison as I continue shopping. That budget puts you squarely into a late model very gently used M3 if that what trips your trigger. If you want though, a brand new Mustang GT that is pretty spec'ed out would be around 40ish, but with some decent incentives, it could drive that price down a little. I am not a huge new Camaro fan, I like more glass than the periscope that they give you in the Camaro. Edit: huh, the Camaro 2SS package is about the same as the Mustang in high spec package. Both cars give you a ton of value for 38k. BrokenKnucklez fucked around with this message at 19:27 on May 22, 2015 |

the pick up truck itch is starting again. There is a guy with a 94 C1500 with a 6.5 NA diesel and a 5 speed for sale for 1400 bucks. But as much as I would love a diesel, I don't have the tools, or the knowledge of diesels to really make it a go. So I think its a brick nose Ford is what I will be searching for.
