RS69

I went through the same thing. Fought it for months. My insurance paid for mine and his paid for his. They would not fault either side.

 

Yep, this will be the outcome.

Update: Car is going to Slow Motion for the repairs. Admins, you can delete this post.

I plan to be out in the 69 Hugger orange vette Friday evening and hitting the Dublin show on Saturday morning/afternoon and back out Saturday evening again.

Seems I need to replace the input shaft bearing on a 2002 Civic with 120,000. Is there anyone that is interested in doing this. If so, please let me know via pm and pricing.

 

Thanks,

Rick

The cat idea doesn't work either, unless you are fine with the cats walking on your car and scratching the paint to climb on it. Moth balls, dryer sheets, Irish spring soap and plenty of mouse traps seem to be the option for me. I fixed the paint on the car the cats scratched last year.

Yes, I thought it was a great write up with nice photos and it is one our local guys too.

I 100% agree, I have several trailers and people often wonder why I wont just let them use them. Insurance cost, misc maintenence, license tabs alone is $500 a year. The few times I did let people use them, they came back scratched or damaged and nobody seems to step up. Just not worth the few bucks.

 

This is my stance too, so no more borrowing.

Nope, keeping our 14 Passat.

Tim,

 

Sorry for the loss, I can't even understand the feelings for all involved. Prayers out to all.

Wow, $27k buyback or $7297 to keep. I am still leaning to keep since there is no other in this class I would buy. I can't justify upgrading to BMW or Mercedes due to college tuition upcoming for the kids.

Yep, it is a great time.

This is my problem with the idea.

 

 

According to this statement, pretty much the only thing you are bringing to the table is "the money". If this particular franchise purchase was going to be as profitable as they make it out... why aren't other franchise owners chomping at the bit for this new opportunity.

 

This is my litmus test on whether to open a new business:

 

1.) Am I the first to offer this sort of business

2.) Can I do this business better than anyone else (ie. smarter, harder working)

3.) Do I have more money than anyone else in this business which allows me to do things my competitors can't

 

If I can't answer yes to one of those three,... I just can't see the point.

 

 

I agree. My neighbor bought in and started a franchised daycare, it didn't pan out too well aka Goddard School. They sold it after two years of frustration.

 

My opinon would be to continue in real estate, but work toward commercial. I own a commercial property which started out as a house(dump) that I rebuilt and updated to commercial in s small village. I have three good tenants, one of they is my wife who is an attorney. My next real estate adventure will be purchasing a house or duplex at OSU.

Is am looking forward for $5100 back from Volkswagan and continue to enjoy our 14 Passat.

Nice!

It's a great car and would make the perfect first car for some kid. I'm relocating to Florida and just thinning out the herd...

Absolutely beautiful!

Crazy stufffff, glad you made it and others were not hurt. Yes, indeed incredible you and the colt. I would have never believe the stuff you did for the low cost, but backed it up and proved it time after time. Glad you are still with us.

Excellent and congratulations!

Bump for a good price for an open car hauler.

I have seen exhaust parts ceramic coated, that is the only thing I haven seen ceramic. Can't power coat work? I have a Hooker side exhaust for my bb vette I was planning to get ceramic coated but agreed the price is quite high in my opinion($500-$700 range). It can be another good solution for you if it can be affordable for the customer and you can make money too without too much expense to get started.

Said Aventador SV was spotted in the rain yesterday on Polaris at Firebirds.

 

I saw it the other day too.

My recommendations are Gladman Buiders (they built my house) or Gossing Construction. Been in my house over 21 years and no complaints. I bought the land(10 acres in Delaware country) and took out a construction loan from the Delaware county bank.

 

Many of the builders have a canned sets of plans and call that a custom build because you can pick out a couple of options. The builders I listed above can build any from a small 1100 to the limit and have less overhead than the Wayne/Schuamcher type of builders. Just bring in picture or a drawing and then can build it, yes this in Delaware country which has tough building codes.

Awesome job Tim and thanks.

Thanks again for the track day, it wasn't the best runs for me today but it was a good time to hang out with other car enthusiasts.

Welcome.
