Yeah, it doesn't always work. Being only 18 months into the lease almost everyone is buried. No idea what kind of lease term JP did... but sometimes on the 36 month leases when the customer is way under on miles, they have some equity. It's always atleast worth checking.

If you are well under miles, you may be better off selling it rather than turning it in. Call Toyota and find out what the "third party" buyout figure is. Email me that number along with VIN and miles, and I'll let ya know.

You need to let me know when it'll be worth me making the trip. I need to get into some shenanigans. It's been a while.

Hmmmm, was originally worried about getting booted. But, atleast I'll be able to hangout and eat pizza afterwards. Win/Win

That's awesome!! I remember you mentioning that your dad was in the biz. I like everything he said in the article. How amped was he to be in the WSJ? I would have been ecstatic, lol.

For sure Grant. Warren Buffett believes in this method so much, that he made a million dollar bet against a huge money manager 8 years ago. He bet that an S&P index would provide larger net returns than any group of hedge funds that the manager would pick over a 10 year period. The bet still has another year and a half I think, but so far Buffett (and the index) are crushing the hedge fund returns. Edit:

If it was a 401k at your old job, any money you contributed is yours no matter what. Any money they added in addition may or may not be subject to a vesting period. What I'm suggesting (purchasing low cost index ETFs) is as hands off as it gets. You shouldn't ever mess with it except for making additional annual contributions if you can.

If you did have a 401k (that you participated in) at your previous employer, you could just roll it into an individual IRA and then make new annual contributions to it. I would personally recommend just using a low cost source such as Vanguard or iShares until you have over 250k investable. (After that you might want to consider getting an advisor) Then inside that IRA purchase low cost index funds like VOO SPY or IVV (depending on which company you choose). I'll go ahead and take on the rebuttal to that saying it's too high risk. You honestly don't care about that yet. The market will go down, and it doesn't matter. You are young enough, and a down market will make you money on the long term due to dividend reinvestment at the lower values once it bounces back after that. As far as the Roth/traditional debate, well that depends on your current income level and tax rate. I personally haven't made any Roth contributions since college. I'm assuming my tax rate (bracket) upon retirement will be lower than where I'm at now. No one knows this for sure though, I've seen some good points for both sides debating it.

Same here.

Thanks! Yeah, someone just screen shot'd me the post tonight. I posted that the rule change didn't make sense. David replied that it was an oversight, and GT30s will still be able to compete in that class.

Top 10 Bound and climbing! Wait till I get traction and can turn up the boost 2highpsi 9.429@158.48 1.61 60' 08/20/16 --GTR-- Turbo http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii37/jordancampbell2008/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsamqmdfiv.jpeg

Congrats on the pickup! Sorry I missed your PM. I was at the Shootout all weekend and just now catching up on my internets.

GTR Heritage (forum) is going to let me use their sponsor parking for my trailer. So if you see the Heritage flags flying on a black and white trailer, stop by and say hi http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii37/jordancampbell2008/heritage1_zps3vzudsit.jpeg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii37/jordancampbell2008/heritage2_zpstvwvujvd.jpeg

Dude, place was probably a gold mine. Where did everything else end up? I love hearing cool "finds" like this

I'll gib ya $100 for the pair But seriously... completed ebay auctions do show some comparable units sold. Ranging from $300 - $600 edit: Out of curiosity, how did you end up with them?

Staying at the Comfort Inn on Milan Rd as always Haven't made any night plans yet, aside from the tiki bar Hit me up if you are coming up

It's that time of year again kiddos. Hoping for 8s this year Who else is going? http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii37/jordancampbell2008/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps6fjejmhu.jpeg

Why only two choices? Isn't there some other psycho on the ballot in all 50 states? That dude that wants to make heroine legal, and tax all sales at 30%? #feelthecock? #feelthebuldge? NOO... #feelthejohnson Thats the guy!

To be fair, if you are obeying the law automatic assault rifles aren't dangerous... yet we still aren't allowed to own them. 38,300 people were killed in auto accidents last year. 4.4 million were seriously injured. Put NHRA certified cages into every one of those cars and the death toll goes up. I'm not talking about going 200 MPH myself. I was saying that people are losing control of non caged GT-Rs at 200 MPH and walking away. Hence my reasoning that me going 140 on the track in one isn't all together that "unsafe" The caster arm snapped AFTER the car got sidewise (at 200 mph putting immense stress on that part) The videos online aren't as good as the ones I've seen from people there. In one video you can clearly see when the slide becomes "violent" is when the arm snapped. But the car lost control before that happened.

I'm OK with that. But I want the other side of the equation to be fair too. Let's get dangerous race cars off the streets. Have a cage and get caught driving on the street? Get your car impounded. (See how ridiculous it is when the shoe is on the other foot)

That car is a perfect example of my point. One of the many GT-Rs to lose control while doing well over 200 mph. Driver walked away, car will be fixed. Off topic note: GT-Rs come from the factory with a "flaw". The CAN messaging system stops communicating with the AWD system over 200 MPH. That's why so many people lose control over that speed. The car loses AWD/ABS/Traction Control. The aftermarket has since remedied the problem though. The owner of the car in the video is blaming a camber arm for the "accident" He's wrong. The camber arm breaking was an effect of the slide, not the cause.

Lemon Law buy back is indeed a title "brand" It SIGNIFICANTLY reduces the value, voids the factory warranty (although sometimes you can purchase an aftermarket), and some banks won't finance them.

Yep, this is where I am stuck. I get to go to the track maybe 2-4 times a year. So I can't personally justify a track only car. So this car was suppose to be my "solution". Drive it anywhere, anytime, take the kids to school in it, etc. Still be able to go to the track and go "fast". I've found that I'm not going to be able to count on that though. I do have to admit that I've been lucky a couple times where I didn't get booted (and should have according to the rule books). Time just comes at such a premium to me, that I hate to even commit to track days now, knowing that there is a chance I'm only going to be allowed to make one pass. For what it's worth, I've come to terms with the rules being are what they are. I'm probably going to sell my current car next month, and pick one up that is less modified. I still felt like bitching about it though
