Green Bastard

my family had our rehearsal dinner at carabbas (I think that's how its spelled) on polaris. they have excellent food and a very italian like atmosphere. we had probably 15-20 people and I believe it was around 1k.

do the ricer thing... remove the timing cover, replace the timing belt with one of the blue greddy ones, then call super street or something. lol, jk. car looks great, hope it runs closer to where your shooting for with that new turbo.

+1

say it aint so.... :no:

^^ lol. like what was previously stated, I don't mind as long as I do it or someone I know very well did.

this.

congrats on getting married... that's a terrible way to start your new life together though. I hope things work out for you though, I know getting robbed is a terribly violating feeling. it never ceases to amaze me how little respect some people have for other peoples property.

even anthony is stirring the pot.... I love it

I was just asking about the lawyers because the mother of the child could walk away from the deal until the hospital stay is over. I almost got burned on this once, I don't want to throw money away. I plan fully on my living situation changing before the child arrives. I'm looking at this as we can raise this child much better than the mother. that's the reason she came to us. we are in a far better position than she is. I understand what people are thinking. in reality though, nobody (that has an opinion here) has any clue what my true situation is.

ill send you a pm later hal since you seem to be so concerned. you called everything into question trying to get me to post on an open board. fact is I've asked you to pm me twice if your really concerned instead of putting my entire life out for everyone. I really am fully prepaired to care for a child, I understand all the burdens.

I was looking for answers from a large community whom may have expirance in this area. and to hal, I said I would talk to you about it privately, I feel no need to put my entire life up on the board here. I learned from the thread my brother started. I do in fact have a plan in place. again, if your truely interested please pm me. if not please stop thread shitting as I can see all your trying to do is get a rise out of me. your just using technicalities to say your staying within the rules.

to add to my previous post, if your really concerned about my living situation or my finances, feel free to pm me and I would be glad to talk to you about it.

there's your opinion, weather or not you think I can afford it. let me worry about that. if you don't have an answer to my original post, then please don't add anything.

there is a whole other thread for this shit, I asked for people not to post opinions. feel free to post in the kitchen.

trying to piss someone off. the comment you made was off topic and completely unnecessary. you made another thread for that, post in there if you have nothing useful to add here.

please keep the trolling to the other thread you made. besides I haven't had the camaro for a while now.

ya, I understand the costs involved with children, its definately a long term commitment. I already have family coverage at work, and I'm not really worried about things like a new tv, or going on vacation. Im also willing to sacrifice my car if need be (though id rather put it in a garage for a few years lol). another thing they use to weed people out is bankruptcy. if you have ever filed, you cannot adopt.

ya I understand, I was thinking used they can be had for less than 10k with right around 100k miles. but your also right about it being your only daily, I know past jag's have been known to be problematic.

ever put any thought into a jag?? I had an x-type sport. 3L awd and available with a 5 speed. very comfy interior too. only drawbacks are, they can be expensive when they break due to the name and there isn't much of an aftermarket for them. which is unfortunate as they feel a little sluggish to me. it was a great riding car though, made a great dd for me when I had mine.

thanks rc k9, the mother came to us and asked if we would adopt. my wife and I have not discussed weather or not its going to be an open adoption, I'm assuming it will be, being that its a friend of the family. prolly wont be open for the first year at least though.

you would think someone trying to support a cause would conduct themselves better.

that is a nice lookin deck, I love the unique coloring of cedar.

we will have no financial problems raising a child. the child will never go without anything it needs, and my wife and I are willing to sacrifice things we want.

no. to everyone else who has been helpful, thank you. I want to do it through a court, I just didn't know if the lawyer was needed. ill start doing some research for a lawyer now though.

my wife and I are getting ready to adopt a baby (due in oct). we have almost gotten burned once doing this but we had not made payment when the mother backed out before. my question is, is there a way to adopt and avoid lawyers. I don't want to pay nearly 10k and have her back out at the last second. she seems pretty set in stone in not wanting the baby (she is a long time family friend), but I just don't want to throw a lot of money away. so is it possible to just have her sign over legal rights and have something of an open adoption? or do I have to go through the process of getting a lawyer? I don't mind going the lawyer route, but like I said, I just don't want to get burned at the last second. please keep opinions to yourself, I don't want talked out of it, we are prepaired to have a child. I'm just looking for facts from someone who may have gone through it or knows what they are talking about. tia
