The buyback money I got for my Viper is already starting to burn a hole in my pocket. My random thoughts so far:
- Ferrari 348
- Solstice GXP (seem the same price as NCs)
- an already built Factory 5 818

348s are cheap enough that I can get one and have the funds to keep it running. I think 355s are rising in price, and pushing 348s down because of it.
A 348 would tick off 3 things I want on my car ownership checklist: gated shifter, midengine, Italian.

The 818 ticks MR and <2000lbs, and it's only $20k.

I local I know has a 348 spider that he uses for his beach car, almost like a Jeep. I don't think he's ever had the top up because the interior is trashed, full of sand and poo poo. It's clearly neglected, the dude beats on it but it keeps going and it's awesome.

Unless I let people talk me into staying in. I've been in the navy for 7 years, made E6 at 5 years, so I could technically ride out the next thirteen and retire at age 41 and get a paycheck for life. But gently caress me this poo poo is dumb as gently caress and I'm tired of the politics of it.

Oh you want a good eval? Better spend all of your off time and $100+ a month on volunteer poo poo! Plus god loving drat am I tired of running.

Haha. I was slightly tempted by the "16 more years and you can retire and get that sweet pay!"

There was a bug of some sort in Street Rod II, where if you bought a car for between $1050 - $1150 right off the bat, turned around and resold, refused the first two offers but accepted the third, it would give you like $30k. Then you could buy all the badass parts for the badass cars without racing a shitload first.

Wish I could do that irl.

My $300 shitbox 323 is up to $480 including registration. I spent $40 and all day making a side exit exhaust for it to be emissions tested. Turns out since the car was purchased in October, I have to go through emissions again in one month...
I also found out RockAuto has a wholesaler closeout of the full cat back system for $60... So I ordered that as well because I can't find a 2in in/out muffler with with centered ports for under $50, and the car sounds like poo poo unmuffled.

Yeah, especially with rallying. At a circuit, you generally expect that the runoffs, walls and fences should make it unlikely that a car can hit spectators, but that's a world away from "If it looks a bit sketchy, I'll jump behind that tree real quick like, and try not to drop my scotch egg".

I had to google what a scotch egg was, looks.......interesting.

I didn't want to say this to her but, I don't really see an upside to it. Having a kid shuts a lot of doors for you, it takes all of your spare cash, and there's also the fact that if you gently caress this up you end up raising the kid to be a lovely person.

I can barely take care of myself. How well am I going to be able to take care of a kid?

Taking care of your own child isn't difficult because you'll want to do it.

But if you're worried about it taking up your spare cash and time then yeah, you probably should not have kids.

I'm mostly worried about loving it up. I didn't have the best childhood growing up, and I don't want to give that to my kids. However I don't want to go so far down the other end that they grow up being useless people who don't know how to use a can opener or boil water.

I don't know, maybe I'm spinning this poo poo inside my head too much. Maybe I just need to do it and shut the gently caress up.

Missed this part. You will NOT gently caress it up, you know why? Because as a result of your lovely childhood you know exactly what NOT to do.

It sounds strange, but having a lovely childhood puts you at an advantage to be a good father.

I need to go on a home improvement rant. Who the gently caress thought it was a good idea to install a bathroom vanity into a wall in the corner of the bathroom and then tile around it? Was that standard procedure in the 60's? To save maybe 40 bucks? It's the original vanity and looks like dog poo poo, but it's an odd size so there's nothing that can replace it that will cover up the giant hole in the tiled wall if I take it out. It literally looks like a 5th grade wood shop project, but to replace it I'll have to spend a ton of money on something custom or just tear out all the loving tile and start over. All I want is a vanity that doesn't look like is was built by the Romans and won't cost me a shitload of money, if they would have tiled the loving wall first THEN put in the vanity I could have just got a drat vanity from Home Depot for 300 bucks and be done with it but noooooo I have to look at this lovely piece of poo poo until I can afford to renovate the entire loving bathroom!

It looks much worse in person. I've looked it over really well inside and out and it appears that it was built on site on to the wall using the studs and then they tiled around it. Yes the tile is pink but it's still in really good shape, and wraps around the entire bathroom. If I could just replace the vanity and then tile over the terazzo floor it would be fine for a decade or more. But if I can't find something reasonably priced I might as well tear the whole thing apart and start from scratch.

My bathroom is the last part of the house that hasn't been touched, everything else has been renovated.

I know a custom built one will be $$$, but will it be cheaper than re-tiling the bathroom? It'll definitely be easier...

e: any chance of just finding a more modern sink/faucet that will fit? The vanity honestly doesn't look bad at all, the sink makes it look ancient though.

If I start over I'm only going to tile the shower. And trust me the vanity is bad, it only looks passable because it was recently painted.

Thought for sure Ikea would have something but no dice :(

Not all that big (~1400 sq ft), treatment is through a company our regular pest-control (which doesn't do termites, I guess?) recommended. I guess the $6xx one would cover two years, $8xx would cover five.

I'm thinking I might get a second opinion from Terminix or someone else just to have another reference point since I doubt your place is any smaller than mine.

I got some Termidor online and did it myself, you just dig a trench around your house and pour it in. I also injected it under the concrete slab of my porch. poo poo is nasty though so you have to be careful, I had some splash on to my face and it made my face numb for a few hours lol.

Tempting thought, but the ground here is rock loving hard so that's a hell of a lot of labor. Did you have to drill any concrete / what did you patch it up with after drilling if you did?

If the ground is rock hard then you can just spray around the foundation, as long as it will seep down into the ground really good. Otherwise you'd need a pick axe or something to dig a bit of a trench., in which case you just mix it in a 5 gallon bucket and pour the poo poo in the trench then cover it back up. It lasts quite awhile, ten years IIRC.

For the slab I drilled holes and rigged up an injector setup for the sprayer with some plumbing parts I got at a hardware store. I could send you pics of the setup it's really easy to make. Then all you need is a hammer drill and a bit that's a bit bigger in diameter than the injector, drill the holes and inject the poo poo, then plug up the holes with grey silicone. That way the next time you need to do it all you have to do is pull the silicone out. Or if you're anal just fill the holes with cement.

[edit] or what you could do if the ground if super hard, just drill a bunch of holes right into the loving ground next to the foundation and inject it in, would be a lot easier than digging trenches.

Baltimore is pretty loving rough, just watch a few episodes of The Wire to get an idea what it's like. Yeah it's good experience for her because everyone there is trying to kill each other, but it's like that for a reason so you have to weigh the risk factor. No way in hell I'd move my family to Baltimore.

I'd try to persuade her to hold out for somewhere less volatile where she could get just as much experience, because honestly this whole country is shooty-stabby.
