/\/\ What he said. Just that you are thinking and considering your options now at your age, puts you FAR above the majority of people. There is a TON of info on this subject, and obviously some people feel you should do it a certain method, and others another method. ( Traditional vs Roth, percentage invented, into what type of funds, ect ect ) But long as you take your time, educate yourself and learn and actually INVEST, even if not much at first, and consistently do it over time, it will have really good gains averaged.

Welcome to the CR boards bud!

Welcome to the CR boards!

So. Much. Want.....

Cool beans, I'll forward the car info and your number to him. Thanks!

Did it sell? Brother in law is looking for a new ride as his just crapped out today and was gonna send him this link.

I have a trap you can borrow if you would like, last week just got rid of a raccoon that had decided to take residence in my attic using it. Took all of one day to catch him. Trap works awesome, super easy to set and use. http://www.havahart.com/large-1-door-animal-trap

I have a trap you can use if you would like, last week just got rid of a raccoon that had decided to take residence in my attic using it. It will trap it but no idea how you would get rid of it without potentially getting sprayed. Hazmat suit? Ha. Trap works awesome, super easy to set and use. http://www.havahart.com/large-1-door-animal-trap

Had a whole line up of the autometer cobalt series that I bought used in my last Mustang and worked very well for the 4 years I had it, no complaints. Looking forward to seeing the final outcome on this setup! Should be lots of fun.

Looks great man! I just had my garage redone this summer with a similiar kit but I went with a super heavy chip saturation mix and turned out awesome I think. Had a solid few days of cleaning / prep into it but my floor is 40 plus years old and had tons of old oil stans and cracks that needed fixed first. I'll see if I can find some of the before / after pics I took...

Those are fantastic cars. For a factory trim car, I think it's one of the best looking available on the american market right now. I got to go see the Corvette factory couple months ago and it was really really cool to see how they are built and everything, came away from the tour looking up how much a 16 Z06 would run me...

Nice! I may bring the boy over for that, he loves touch a truck events. I assume it's at the Cabela's in Polaris?

Looking at spending $200 probably, and definately want a simple and easy to run setup, pretty entry level. And leaning towards monster truck style or something with bigger tires that I can run in backyard / grass fields as well.

Ha, I admit, that made me laugh. I could see my wife saying something like that.... but hey, it's still cheaper then the car mods. Good info to know from all, thanks! Been looking up how fast some folks have gotten their r/c cars up to and blows my mind... Had no idea r/c cars could hit 100 mph in under 5 seconds like with the Traxxas XO-1 model... Def leaning towards electric for something simple and easy to run.

Anybody have any experience with and or play with / mod quicker remote control cars like Traxxas and the like? Coworker brought in a Traxxas truck and got to play with it for a few mins and they have my interest piqued and been looking into them a bit as looks like may be a fun little side hobby but zero experience with em besides 20 mins goofing off with one at work. Seems like Traxxas is one of the main brands for that type of stuff and few mods you can do to them, depending if electric or nitro. From the little bit of research I've done online regarding them, seems like a pretty decent sized following for it as a hobby and some people can get REALLY into it. Just wanted to get few folks opinions on who has goofed off with em before and how they like it. Seems interesting but at same time, don't want to drop coin to buy a decent one, and have it be one of those things that's fun for 2 days and sits on shelf for next 4 years as flash in the pan type thing if that makes sense. Looking one's similiar to below... https://traxxas.com/products/models/electric/36054-1stampede https://traxxas.com/products/models/electric/58064-1fordraptor I know Nick has a couple and he's bringing them over next week so I can check em out but wanted to see if other folks have played with them before and what they thought.

Congrats man! That's awesome.

I like that entirely too much...

I'm not even into sports much at all but that was damn funny... Ha...

Panduh on the boards here works for them. Shoot him a message.

/\/\ What he said. I've tried a few different FM modulators over the years and they all pretty much sucked, even the supposedly better Belkin branded ones. Course, it's been 3 or 4 years since I tried using one so maybe there is something better on the market now but I doubt it.

You looking for a suit to wear 2-3 times a year for just special events ( like weddings ) or something you will be wearing more then that? Few places I can suggest but prices will vary a LOT depending on what you are looking to get out of it.

Congrats man! Sharp car for sure! What's the mod plans for it if any?

Ha, well stated Clay. So often things are simple in concept yet so drastically different in actual execution.

Much improved with the tint Nick! White and black is always such a classy clean look for vehicles...

Good to know, I'm thinking of refinancing to a 15 year in a few weeks once back in town and will drop you a PM once ready to explore options Marc.
