  1. You also bought yours before I bought mine...I bought mine at the lowest point in the market, when the banks were all "paying" for their mistakes. We bid a little over 15k more than the initial asking price. We were only a couple hundred bucks more than the next highest offer. There are homes that are listed underpriced just to get them sold quickly, and higher offers put in. And we got a steal for our home...I put 3 weeks of after work/weekend work into ours, and another 10k into it, and could have EASILY sold it back then for 50k more than we had into it. In today's market, more like 75-100k more.
  2. Save back a 20% down payment and your finance rates and loan options will be far better Of course a lot of folks can't do that, but at least try to have some amount of down payment saved. I had 4% when I bought my first home in 2002, but back then that was good enough for a conventional loan. Now, I don't know as we did 20% on our current home. But if you think you will get some beat up steal of a home on an FHA loan, keep dreaming. We had enough trouble getting our loan on a bank owned that needed cosmetics with 20% down, well below our approval amount and an 800+ credit score.
  3. We are there but we can't keep our nose out of other countries's business. That, and of course oil interests.
  4. Power wash first. Powerwasher will get off way more than you think it would. Anything left - brake parts cleaner.
  5. I buy hardware, not software. You think I bought the Snow Leopard that is on my sister in law's laptop I'm typing from right now (which is only useful to Boot Camp Windows 7, since OSx sucks). You need money? Throw some ads in your stuff. Charge for support. Plenty of ways to make money - be creative.
  6. Radiator can stay, but you have to pull he balancer.
  7. Wow, that seems really cheap. I need to do some stone similar to that...hope I can find it that cheap near me, since where you got it is a decent drive for me.
  8. I will be more than happy to ban you if you just want to be a little bitch. You aren't allowed to ask for a Carfax on any website...legal reasons as Carfax comes after the site if caught. CR doesn't allow people to setup illegal activities on it's website. Wow, how harsh.
  9. I bet Ben is excited to post this.
  10. Please show me where u can jailbreak a new boot rom 3GS without tethering. I know u can do it with the older bootrom.
  11. When I can do a untethered jailbreak, then I'll care.
  12. Bluetooth would work well. I link my iPhone to the system in my Avalanche and the sound quality is just as good as my hard wired iPod. Not sure about 5.1 though.
  13. No shit, which is why I said it is probably a 94 (first year for that body style) - but after looking at the picture again, I will correct myself. It is actually a 96-98 car.
  14. Too bad they haven't found a way around a tethered Jailbreak for the newer 3GS bootrom.
  15. You could buy another one used for around $200, so I wouldn't dump much money into it.
  16. Can they just bulldoze that whole area while the tenants are asleep inside?
  17. Not only is a total hunk of shit, doesn't even know the year (probably a 94), and has a ton of miles, the idiot thinks it is okay to ask 5k for that thing.
  18. What kind of rear projection? If it is a non-HD CRT rear projection, just place it to the curb - isn't worth fixing. Same goes for if it is a smaller screen size HD CRT rar projection. If it is a large CRT, might be worth a DIY try from googling some options, if it costs under $100 to repair. Otherwise, curb it. DLP, LCD, and LCoS, etc. rear projections I would look online first (a number of LCD rear projections have light engine issues), then I would suggest contacting Mercury Keller. The place is in a shit hole part of town, but they do good work.
  19. Tablet PC's have been a failure for years...why are they now the next cool thing?
  20. Wrong. http://www.alaskacorvette.com/images/OwnerCorvettes/04JAugustine.jpg 04 Commerative Edition Z06 came with polished rims.
  21. That price isn't too far off. That truck stock would likely sell in the upper teens. With that kind of work + motor swap + being pretty unique and likely well done, it will go for a price premium (similar to that of an LSx swap FD). I'd say if it sells, more likely in the upper 20k range.
  22. I would be all over Saturday evening, except I work Saturday morning/early afternoon, and we are flying out of the country Sunday morning, so I have a bunch of stuff to do before the trip. If you are out when I get back in a couple of weeks, I'd LOVE to go. I'll bring my own board/jacket. I've never gotten the chance to ride behind a wakeboard boat, or even a boat with a tower for that matter!
