Stopped at Meijer to get some stuff and when I got to the detergent there was a very trashy couple using one jug to fill two others to the very brim. So that was fun and awkward.

Metal Geir Skogul posted:Netflix will survive. They're older than Google. Of course they will, it just won't be the same as it was. And it's not their fault, content owners now want far more to licence for streaming and Netflix would rather spend the scratch on their own content. It's why there's no so many goddamned terrible streaming services popping up.

We're keeping Netflix until Defenders drops and then we're dipping out for a while. There's pretty much nothing on there I can't live without.

Okay, I need some help calling bullshit. I went to a Mazda meet the other night and there was this dude with a MP3 Protege. And it was turboed. And he claimed he had "chassis swapped it for AWD" and it really looked like there was a rear diff under there. What the hell did I see? And no, I got no good pics of it.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Possible, depending on year model. There's often an AWD option that is JDM only that he could have imported the parts for. If you are thinking about the 98-2001one then yes, there was indeed a AWD option Well neat! It looked like a Mazdaspeed Protege but he claimed to have built it himself. The MSP was on the BJ chassis right?

Previa_fun posted:Northwest Arkansas is similar. Think what you will about WalMart, but they have been a huge pillar of the economy here for the past several decades. Home prices in the major cities are rising like crazy and houses are going under contract sometimes within hours of being listed. The wife and I bought a house in a small town 8 miles south of the NWA metro area because it's so much cheaper down here and our commute to work is still only 20 minutes. The housing market here is booming but prices are stable. You can get a lot of house for under $150K if you have the time to watch the market.

FAT32 SHAMER posted:Houses here range from free to $70k in the "up and coming" neighbourhoods to $500k in the nice neighbourhoods Fort Wayne and surrounding towns are experiencing a massive boom. There's a shitload of jobs all of a sudden (too bad nobody wants to work) and not enough "nice" houses to go around. The $150K one I posted is the same age as yours and needs practically nothing but since it's in a dead area of the city (no more land for development) it has a reasonable price. There's a house of roughly the same size and age about 2 miles from our complex and it's $275K. Edit: This is another house that's pretty close to what we'd want. It's a bit dated and doesn't have the lot size the other one has but holy hell that basement is rad. https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sa...097_rect/10_zm/ Rhyno fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Jul 5, 2017 |

So, developing story in the local auto scene. Dude just got his car repossessed by the bank. He claims to have arrived home to find the notice in his mailbox informing him he was six months behind on his payments and had legally forfeited the car. Which was all news to him as he owned the car outright and didn't have an outstanding loan on it. He doesn't even do business with the bank that's on the paperwork so he is a bit puzzled as to why they would repo his POS daily driver. Edit: Ahhhh it was a 2006 V6 Charger, former police car. He believes they were after his neighbor with the 2016 Charger. Rhyno fucked around with this message at 04:41 on Jul 6, 2017 |

nm posted:That house looks like it has had several separate add-ons. Some of which were poorly done (that lovely bay window is a give away). This means that you'll have fun in the crappy construction thread! Why would I care about the window when it has a second garage door? Not that it matters, we're not gonna buy a house til after the wedding. But hey, my fiance's probably getting offered the in town promotion on monday! So we can start sacking away $500 a month towards the house down payment!

Seminal Flu posted:Would her promotion still let you keep the rent-free apartment? I'd ride that poo poo into the ground, putting away all the rent/mortgage money you would be paying into a fund to eventually just pay cash for a house. Mortgage-free house would be primo. I've kind of muddied the details but basically she was the community manager here. That came with a free apartment. Then her father got cancer and she needed to be there for him so she stepped down to the leasing agent position. This meant our rent was $800 a month but that's fine, it's roughly what we paid for a place half this size and here we get a garage and driveway. The promotion will put her in charge of the community on the other side of town but drops our rent back to sub $100 a month. So yeah, we could stay here forever if we wanted. But the community rules have been tightened quite a bit. I'm now not allowed to work on cars with the garage door open and they don't even want people washing their cars in their driveways. There's a few other things that are starting to be annoying so I'm all for getting gone. We have no timetable on house buying but since we're probably gonna stay here we both are leaning in that direction. Realistically, starting April 1st I am pretty much debt free and could sack away $500 a month towards a house.

Darchangel posted:I love how certain people seem to feel that the details and necessities of getting poo poo done are somehow vulgar and need to be hidden away from polite company. I guess working on and washing your own car are for plebeians, whom they definitely don't want living in their apartments. I bet they don't know how sausage is made, either. AT my mother's HOA they tried to vote in a set of rules that were very similar to my apartment community rules. One of them was no parking in your own driveway! If you didn't park in your garage you got fined! Thankfully that was almost unanimously voted down. It was an elderly dude who just hates all his neighbors.

Garage2Roadtrip posted:Yeah, homeowner's associations have gotten out of hand. We're buying a beach house near Folly Beach in SC and while looking around we've seen mild to wild on covenants and restrictions (and dues!). Some of my favorites were 'no vehicles taller than 75" in an open driveway', 'no motorcycles', 'no furniture on front porch', etc... Then the dues, holy poo poo - there was one that was like $600/mo and it was basically a glorified zero-lot-line that you had to maintain the exterior on. I despise the very concept of HOA's as they exist today. Just awful little people trying to control other's lives. The best house I've posted (the one with the enormous yard and basement) existed for years and got annexed into a neighborhood that was built right across the street from it. If we were in buying position today we'd avoid it just because of the HOA. Seminal Flu posted:Gotcha. In that case, what about keeping your free housing position, then rent a section of a garage or pole barn somewhere to do car stuff? Should be way cheaper than a mortgage and still let you pocket some good, long-term gravy. My father's garage is where I plan to do most projects for now. Only problem is it's 40 minutes away so quick jobs won't be so quick anymore. There's another bonkers property about half an hour southwest, large house, 3 acres, two heated and cooled out buildings! But it needs so many updates it's probably a money pit.

everdave posted:Late night drunk talk you should live in a free or almost free apartment as long as you can (as I hypocritically post from my paid off house that is worth 50% more than I paid for it) but still accumulate wealth. Invest. We're playing it by ear for now. And since I have free parking at mom's and dad's I figure I can do whatever I want car wise. I still want an Evo but realistically that's 1/4 the cost of a house. I can get a house and THEN get an EVo.
