Hes in one of the Carolinas i believe
Yeah I'm in Charlotte. Usually stuff is rust free, unless brought down from the north.

I once bought this because it was a good deal, and for the sole intention of towing.
http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1212/4798801/9950206/407394232.jpg
I don't think I ever hauled over 6,000 lbs with it.
This time around I'm going to purchase smarter. Race car only weighs 2,600 lbs and I will be using uhaul auto transports to haul with, as I don't want a trailer parked at my house.
The only purpose of this vehicle will be to tow with, otherwise it will be parked. In the 5k or less wheelhouse, what's the most reliable horse for the job?

So if there is a box stuffed to the gills in an undisclosed location, please tell me how one would know whats in it?
So who's the real asshole? The girl that wanted to make it work, or the guy that strung her along? If she wanted kids, and you didn't, why string her along? 8 years is a LONG time to wait around for someone, and any woman who was actually worth being around would not stick around for 8 years for your good company LOL
The one bright side of shared custody LOL. Like I said. pros and cons to everything. One of my wife's friends who co-parents told my wife she does not want 100% custody because she likes to have her weekends off. Sounds fucked up, but I get it.
String her along? She knew from the start my stance on children and marriage. She started to charge her mind on wanting kids, and I saw the writing on the wall and ended it. The asshole move would be to string her along from that point forward. I let her stay in my place for months, till she found a place she could afford. I helped her move, furnished her place, and gave her money.

I go through 5-10+ vehicles a year, and could tell stories all day.
Just this past month, I was selling one of my cars. Five people contacted me and asked all the right questions, and obviously knew what they were talking about. Every last one of them begged me to hold the car, till they could come out and pick it up. (Out of state buyers) Not one of them every came out.
At this point, I don't even want to sell it. Dealing with one more person is the last thing I want. Some guy calls, says he will drive out and is serious. I told the guy, unless he is coming with cash in hand, forget about it and the car will rot at my house till it returns back to the earth. Says he has cash in hand, and can come tomorrow. So he drives 3+ hours to check it out. He asked maybe 3 questions about the car, and proceeded to chat my ear off for well over an hour about unrelated things. I couldn't get this guy to shut the hell up, and would ask if he wanted to drive the car. He finally did, said he wanted it but didn't have the cash with him.
I'm furious, and told him to leave. The following day, he wouldn't stop texting me about wanting the car and asked for the vin, etc. I get a call later thatbday to confirm I own the car, price, etc. You have to be kidding me.
The bank ended up CC me with his denial letter, the following day.
Humans are the worst..
On a positive note, I sold off a Ducati this past weekend, and a guy drove 12+ hours to pick it up. Old guy in his 60s, easy transaction. That's always rare.

Man i was 80% against marriage before this thread now im more like 98% against it.
In all seriousness can I get a prenup that basically outlines how a divorce settlement would go down if it ever happened? Like "this, this and this is his and he keeps all of his income (assuming no kids)"?
Just don't get married.
Unless you're extremely religious, or need that piece of paper. There's absolutely zero difference between a serious committed relationship.
I dated someone for 8 years, who knew I never wanted children or to get married. Around the 8 year mark, she realized I was never changing my mind, and not wanting children became a problem for her. I cut my losses, and walked right out of that relationship. No point to drag shit on, till it gets ugly. It's easy to see the writing on the wall, and for some people. They wait till the last possible second to make moves, at this point everyone hates each other, and things get nasty.
I could only imagine being in that type of situation with children. That has to be extremely tough,miserable, and beyond stressful. Kudos to you guys/gals who stick it out for your kids. Although ultimately they probably are better off not being around two parents, who are constantly miserable and at each others throats.
It seems so many people get married, and have kids, just because it's what their peers are doing and just go through the motions, and end up miserable in the end. Divorce rates are through the roof. I've been dating someone for four years, both successful, and have the same outlook on not having children, or getting married. So many of our married friends, are unhappy and stay in the situation for financials reasons, or various other selfish reasons.
I cannot predict the future, nor can anyone here. Could never put myself into a situation, where if things go sour, you're on the hook for so much negative impact that will haunt you for years to come. Life's way too short for that nonsense.

Yep, we've been looking for 1.5 years and completely stopped our search until 1Q 18 just to see what happens. I've seen houses climb 150k in some neighborhoods in yhe past 18 months.
It's the same here in certain areas of Charlotte.
I moved off the lake, because pricing was so high. Hard not to take advantage of that.
Bought another home, with the intentions of being in it under 5 years and have been looking for a good deal on empty land along the lake to build exactly what I want. I can't stomach something dropping 50-150k in value, or waiting a lifetime to recoup that.
Some people just don't give a shit though...... to not be Jewish....
-
We're due. In fact.... overdue. Granted, 614 will be less affected. But, a down market is in the future and is said to begin in 4Q 17.
Oh it's coming...
Unless you sold at a crazy deal, desperately need something, or don't care about money. Why are so many of you, purchasing at a market high?
-
Damn, man that's horrible
I've never been married or really even gotten close to marriage but can anyone explain why the male in the relationship holds the burden of the cost in 95% of these cases and still ends up getting fucked? Is it a money thing, where as whoever makes more money in the marriage owes the other $X amount or is literally based off of gender (Srs question because I honestly don't know)? Is there a reason that the female tends to typically be favored in a custody battle? Could a prenup avoid a lot of these types of issues, at least money wise? Maybe someone can chime in, but I think these are good Q and As for anyone who might be getting married soon on what things to consider if things go south.
Not getting married solves these issues.
Good luck to the OP, as others have suggested. I would delete this thread.

Enjoy the audit
It's a mirage, not a Bentley.

Just buy a new helmet?
Why fuck around with something that could potentially save your life?

Holy shit. This would bring double that asking Price on bring a trailer
And it's best offer!
25k buys a slew of prepped race cars, but man would that thing be cool to own!
-
It isn't. It really its that great. My Miata with 240whp was way more fun. You need 350whp+ to make a mr2 fun and not get bored. And to get there is silly Money and lots of headaches
That's almost always the downside with picking oddball cars, without a ton of support. You're the r&d mule, and might not like the final outcome.
Not a fan of miatas, but it's easy to understand why so many people use that platform.
I haven't seen an mr2 in years though!

Ended up finding pretty much exactly what I wanted.
The guy is dropping it off now.
95 cobra motor, so the accessories are pushed closer to the block. Came with all the accessories, and some underdrive pulleys. It has the factory distributor, which I can probably get to work with the carb setup. Springs,roller rockers,cam, valve job, and new headgaskets. New torker intake manifold, new Holley 600dp carb.
Tons of NASCAR shops are here, and this guy works at a coating place. Springs and the cam have some weird polish. Interior and exterior of, the heads, intake manifold, and carb are high temp teflon coated. I would never pay for these services, but they were already done.

Made in brook park Ohio sticker on it. Had no idea these boat anchors were made in the Cleveland area.

Depends on the truck. I wanted one so I drove to Indianapolis to pick up a cool-looking 2001 Ram. It was nice to have for buying shit on craigslist, but after about 6 months I couldn't take driving it anymore and sold it. It was big, slow, and generally just a hassle to push around the city. Climbing into the Camaro was such a breath of fresh air on nice days. Today's trucks are different though.. they all have plenty of power, options, 8-speeds, and generally ride a lot nicer. Still not the same as hopping in a nice car, but they're not terrible.
Trucks are awesome if you're actually using them on a daily basis, otherwise they're just a pain in the ass to deal with.
I've owned trucks myself, and sold them when I wasn't using them as designed anymore.
This thread was started as trying to find a "fun car", for a small budget. Then the budget became much larger, now he wants to sell everything and only have a truck?
:lolguy:

Who cares about 100k.
Its a cave man truck motor with a blower and a super beefy trans. Fucker will run forever. Shit people are BUYING them with 200k plus, stuffing 30psi into them and setting records! :lolguy:
As for the change in heart for a truck- seriously DONT do it. Unless you NEED the hauling capabilities of a truck, you will find it lacking in very, very short order. Turbos, tunes or not. Its still a fuckign truck.
Re-read your OP, reassess, and buy something slightly ignorant. #yolo
Bingo.
Fuck trucks. Unless you actually need it, driving around a truck daily without actually hauling stuff is for mouth breathers.
As is modding a truck to go faster.

What's the current car, and what's considered "fast"?
It's going to be hard to beat a vette.....
This already has a built motor, they might come down a few bucks. Find a used blower kit..

Cheap to keep these going, unless you crash

Just to address a couple of your questions:
Intake - Grab a cheap Edelbrock
Carb - Holley or QFT. You'll want a 500cfm at your power. 650 if you want to have the room to grow on your cylinder heads.
Cam - That's really dependent upon preference.
Distributor - Use a oem reman. and the Ford Duraspark unit.
Oil pan - Use the stock pan and buy a baffle kit that's how I did mine. They don't really have a lot of oiling issues with a proper baffle and oil pump shaft.
As for those exploder heads...I hate them and they're heavy. You should just do the aluminum x heads for <$1K and skip having to work on it again.
Thanks
Aside from a cam, I have zero plans to do anything to the internals.
This is just a budget setup, to work out all the suspension kinks. Pointless to toss on 1k heads on a motor I would be happy with if it made 250hp...Also, the Mountaineer motor comes fully dressed. Everything in the front is shorter than the Mustang stuff, which helps in any clearance issues... The car has a tubular front end, so it probably wouldn't matter. Better safe than sorry.
My office is in the middle of a bunch of NASCAR shops, should be able to score a nice built motor if I can get this car handling in a way I'm comfortable with at speed.

Couldn't help but post this after watching it yesterday lol
A turbo setup is the last thing I want to deal with. The car currently is setup to run a different turbo motor. I live in NC, and have zero desire dealing with nonstop cooling issues
-
I attempted to read through Mustang forums, but every other thread had different information. Figured someone here will easily know these basic questions.
Dropping a 5.0 302 boat anchor into a car, I plan to road race this summer. I know, plenty of other better options but someone makes a full mount kit which makes the whole process much easier for me.
The engine itself I plan to just toss a cam in it, along with headers. Nothing crazy, and will look into a built motor over the winter.
For the ease of wiring, I'm going to just use a carb. Locally I found a 5.0 out of a 1998 Mountaineer. It appears that year uses a gt40 head, where you need special headers so you can easily get the spark plugs out.
Obviously I will need an intake manifold and carb. What's a solid intake manifold, carb, and cam to use with this setup? Also, which distributor will be needed?
The car currently has an in-tank Walbro 255 that was used in a EFI setup. Will a simple Holley blue pump work?
Is there a budget road race style oil pan, that isn't the Moroso or Canton? Those are the same price as the whole engine... :lolguy:

Look into dealers, if you're planning on getting a new bike.
My local Ducati dealer has a course on site, and offers free training if you purchase a bike.

Lightstream.
They will loan on any vehicle, year doesn't matter. They also don't put on a lein on the vehicle.
Super easy, all done online. Great option if you're looking to pay something off quickly.
You need a rock solid score, and highish income though.
Considering you're looking at 996, that might not be the best option. I'm sure you can find a local credit union though, or pennfed.
996 TT?
Best tow rig for 5k?

Thanks guys
I completely overlooked vans and suvs
I really don't want a trailer parked at my house. The U-haul trailers do stink, and weigh a ton, but it's convenient. The car has a tubular front end, and the bumper has quick disconnects. Shouldn't be an issue getting it on and off.
