  1. Question for Steve... I'm looking to do a similar project next fall (there's bats in the garage, but I don't think I'll be able to get an exclusion expert out before torpor season), and being a 40 year old house, I know there's no vapor wrap, I've seen several holes in the OSB while in the attic, fascia boards are rotting in places, and insulation seems generally sketchy in places. I know you're in C'bus, so how would I go about finding a quality guy here in Cleveland without the hassle Joe went through in trying to get other quotes?

     

    I’ll send you a dm

  2. If you sick of BMW how about an A6?

     

    And how was the Honda? :)

     

    I would consider an A6 with the turbo engine, The honda was nice but had a vibration taking off from a stop.. Seller told me they wanted to get it looked at before selling, then marked it as sold about a hour after I left so continuing to follow up with them on it but oh well..

  3. I've got an 05 Grand Prix that I've done little more than basic maintenance (had a couple coils go bad and an idler pulley lock up) in the last 50k miles. I'm working on picking up an 05 S4 to replace it because I want something less boring that I can shift myself. If auto and boring is okay with you, any gm 3800 will run damn near forever.

     

    If I could find a 99-03 that was not a rusted pile at this point I’m all game again for a w body. My 98 gtp was a amazing daily and very comfortable

     

     

    2005 s4 timing chain kills any interest of mine to daily one again

  4. So do you want to be EXCITED about what you are driving, or drive around an appliance? Either is OK, just looking for clarification. ;)

     

     

    But honeslty an NA 2006+ BMW 3 or 5 series is fun, looks great, has 4 doors, and is totaly bulletproof. If you can find a crack head deal on a turbo car, do it! But expect a heavier matinance schelue.

     

    For example, there is Zero Chance I coose a 2013 Collora over a 2008 328i for 5K. ZERO. Life is just too short to drive boring shit amigo!

     

    yes sorry excited as in there is not 1 specific I am searching out. I am open to basic and reliable.

     

    My 535 wagon is great but Im over it after 2 years of ownership ( for my that is a pretty long time)

     

    I honestly would not mind a gen 1 ctsv again it checks every box except awd that I would want.

     

    I found that no matter what BMW it is they all have cooling system issues and oil leaks. My B6 2.0t A4 was great as well never had a issue and only sold it when my buddies car got totaled and at the time I had 3 vehicles and only drove like 5 miles to work so between my truck and 911 I didnt mind selling it to help a friend out.

  5. '05 Legacy, low mile JDM engine with headgaskets fixed

     

    Oh and heated leather seats

     

    and 5mt

     

    slow as shit but who cares. 30 mpg with awd is cool and im only in it maybe $1400?

     

    Had one but auto .. ended up selling it for what I had in it to my gf so she could get rid of her edge and the payment a couple months ago

  6. Daily my golf TDI but have been really considering Tesla model 3.

     

    I will say I am a fan of the tdi. I would highly consider a jetta sportwagon but again I use to see these all day for 4k and now it seems everyone thinks they are worth 10k... Not a chance in my position Im taking that deal

  7. Had a Volt for 3 years, and would do again.

    Currently daily driving my 13 with almost 100k miles. Only thing it needed was a software update. No issues whatsoever.

     

     

    Im looking and there are a couple for sale, nothing exciting with these and that is kinda of what I am looking for. However the ones with fair miles seem to be priced on FB higher than space x shuttles. Im not pressed so there is no way Im paying 8-9k when it should be priced more like 4-6

     

    I dont care to much about the whole battery part as the range is pretty low but everyone seems to have the opinion that they are decent on fuel and better that they are actually comfortable to drive.

     

    I am going to look at a civic hybrid with good miles for a fair price but I have never really driven one before ( girlfriend had one and said it was her favorite vehicle taking multiple trips from cali to ohio without issue

  8. I've got an 08 LTZ, they are great comfortable trucks for sure. Glws.

     

    thank you, I loved this truck and if they would have made a newer one or a 8 foot bed I would be all over it. I think it will be going to the dealership this weekend or very early next week as I have had a lot of tire kickers and low balls. Which I fully understand but dont have room to come down knowing I can take it and sell it to the dealer any moment in the next week still that I choose

  9. Going through the long list of cars I have owned has me not excited for much in the realm of say $5,000 or under daily drivers..

     

    Been tossing around a volt , civic , sonata etc

     

    Something just basic , good mpg, low maintenance cost .

     

    What are some of the best no frill vehicles you have daily driven and just rack the miles up changing oil ,brakes and tires

  10. This is my old work truck/ Winter vehicle and I have a cummins that has taken over those duties so I am no longer in need of the Chevy.

     

    187,xxx Miles

    Tpms fault

    Parking sensor fault

    If driver seat is moved to far back will trip the airbag light

    driver side mirror glass broken

    Power folding mirrors inop

    exhaust leak ( No cel)

    could use 1-2 new tires

     

    Has newer brakes, bearings, 2 tires, battery

    brake lines have been replaced it appears by previous owner and are in great shape.

     

    This is a nice LTZ packaged truck with hot heat and cold ac

     

    Not going to win any shows that is for sure it was a work truck. Has never left me stranded anywhere and has been super reliable

     

    have a offer from 2 dealerships to sell outright but wanted to toss it up here to see if anyone is interested before selling it to them and having them make some money on it taking it to auction.

     

    Price: $6500 Price is firm

  11. FWIW if you have tires used or new and go to discount tire for a inspection. I believe they just make sure there is no damage already and they are like above 8/32 or something you can add a warranty that covers road hazard for only $15 a tire.

     

    After running over 3 nails in a month I’d say I got my monies worth in replacement tires through this program . After buying my Cummins and seeing each tire was $150 each it was a no brainer that for $60 I’m covered for practically anything
