yeah, that seems high even at "take home pay" for two weeks.

Oh, ok. I'm able to help either way!

Yep, I'll help... But then again, you have to think about chucking out 5k+ in order to get started. Yikes!

Ok, here's a question... Based on your income (assuming all other spending/bills aren't out of whack, what multiple of your household income can you spend on a house? I am looking for a house right now. I make "X" and I am looking at houses that are 2.5X.... Is that okay? I'm looking for a "rule of thumb" answer. Not a "everybody is different" answer.

Wait, so if you make 100k you are saying that you are only going to drive a 30k car? That's like 650/month... Do you have a bad gambling/gun/women problem that doesn't allow for more cash each month to pay a car note? Now that I think about it.. I need a better car

I don't understand the "gross income percentage thing" - 30k new grads are buying 20k cars - 150k earners can afford a car that cost more than 45k because the the "break even" required to live. Are you saying "spend 30% of your gross income per year" on your car hobby? iE - if you make 100k you spend 30k per year on car stuff? Or are you saying that if you make 100k a year that you are driving a 30k Car (or, 30k in carS)

can you do it for less with a combo of railroad ties and dirt? ( heard that was an idea once.. .to save money)

Wow, I would have never imagined! Someone on CR has to have a connection. There's always some oddball hookup people have on here!

Here are some free dirt ads http://columbus.craigslist.org/zip/5020373562.html http://columbus.craigslist.org/zip/5022516648.html http://columbus.craigslist.org/zip/5002799780.html Here's some that cost money (Id pitch in if others will too, I'll lay down the first 50 bucks). I'm sure we can talk this guy down too... It's dirt... http://columbus.craigslist.org/mat/5022364532.html

How much does 20yds of dirt cost?

Paid 600.00, Asking 100.00 - Used less than a month. Bought about 2 years ago. Bob - Columbus - 330-464-077four The story goes like this... This is the 9 inch tall model. Comes in 2 pieces and is a King. We bought a new bed 2 years ago. Then the wife said that she wanted a new bedroom set. Bought a new bedroom set a few weeks after the bed and the bed frame is one of those raised up platforms where you don't need a box spring. The bed and the box spring were both TempurPedic and bought from Mattress Firm. This is technically called a foundation by their standards. I paid 600 for it. I think they are about 500 online (plus ship). I'm asking - 100 bucks OR 250 rds of 223/556 Link to website/product. http://www.tempurpedic.com/Foundations/Tempur-Pedic-Foundation.asp

I might, I actually think I do... but I want to make sure its not in use.

I've never done drills (or a tactical carbine or pistol course) and would jump at the opportunity to learn if someone wants to put it together. I don't think briar rabbit has the type of space needed (though they used to). I'd help in any way possible!

Disapprove because no pics

Last bump! Heading out late morning!

That is a steal

Barrett builds a lot of guns... And then online distributors sell them for 8500.00

Right... The car was the thing that screamed "look at me"...

She sold it? Why?

I would like to be able to cut 8 straps that are 3x12 inches. So two or three linear feet would work.

how so? What to sell it?

Does anyone have a couple they would sell? I just killed one of my plates.... with a 50...

I would like to find old conveyor belt rubber to cut up and make straps with. Is there a place in Columbus that sells stuff like that for the use of repurposing items? Thanks!

Well, Im sure it had to have come with a scope/etc. he didn't buy it from a gun store did he? Those places charge about 10-11K for a bare gun. But, assuming its got the Leupold and a BORS and some ammo its not too terribly far off from what he could have spent if he was pinching pennies.

This girl bought it.... And then painted it seafoam green (and the wheel centers white)...
