Didnt we hear all about this 8 months ago?

The whole ECTA team had been working on this for YEARS. Just got finalized!

Sign a waiver then go lol

Not going to happen.

These Guys are SUPER strict on tech. If you want to go faster than 185, be prepared to spend some money.

You sound like you're stuck in living life without consequences per se. You don't want the mortgage or the wife or kids holding you back; you don't want to wait for anything you want to do it now whether you should or not. You're of the mindset that I'll do what I want and deal with the consequences later. Obviously this is my own view based on your posts in this thread so I could be incorrect.

 

Why did you marry your wife? It seems odd to me that you're asking or more thinking about these things now AFTER the fact then before you went ahead with this lifelong decision well was supposed to be lifelong people make more of a mockery out of it anymore sadly.

 

You state that you have too many friends for a marriage? How so that makes no sense to me; when you are dating someone or serious with them they are introduced into your social circle and hopefully accepted and then you move forward. Most people in their late 20s are either getting married or are married sure there are those select few that aren't but for the most part they are the minority. I don't see how one could say they have too many friends but meh! And she forgives you for being unfaithful in Vegas? WOW I have no comment on that because nothing good can be said IMO. With comments like those it sounds like you'd rather live life on the edge with debauchery and shenanigans whenever and however you see fit.

 

It sounds like the best thing for you is to let her go and live alone and happy as you say slay whatever you want take trips whenever you want (which is entirely possible with a wife or g/f that you share interests with) and just move on without a care in the world.

 

Do you not share any interests with her maybe that's part of the problem; I mean I wouldn't date someone who didn't share SOME of the same things I did personally but to each their own.

 

You money comment cracks me up....money makes life easier and the ability to do more with money is nice but it isn't everything. Money could dry up tomorrow and if you have no one around you to help you through those tough times then what? Money ain't all its cracked up to be....money brings greed and people do silly things when they are greedy.

She is included, and well liked in my circle of Friends. Examples I speak of where "she" is a hindrance-her work will not allow for MONTHS off-I can without issue. Things I want to do out of this country require it. She would not like it, nor would I expect her to. She shares the same interest, and hobbys to a point. We only differ on kids (she says 3-4 year, I say maybe never)

Locally, I am a seat of the pants kind of guy- people going to TK12 to street race-Im on a plane tomorrow. Friends in Vegas Randomly, same story. I bought my house cash, small MTG on the rental, and am responsible for upkeep on my mother's property/taxes/insurance (her disability does not cover it).

As for money-again, in this society unless you are part of a Cult in a compound somewhere in Texas, its a necessity. Greed is an issue with a PERSON, not their paycheck. I know greedy people that are 30k "millionaires", and people with multi million dollar incomes that Drive a prius, and a 2004 Ford Ranger and like in a 200k Blue Collar Neighborhood.

Sure, shit can go south. If that happened, I could life OFF of people for the rest of my life-but that's not living. Thats leaching., surviving, not living.

Im sorry if you guys think I am gloating, I am not. I am just telling you my honest dilemma, and my life up to this point that has led me to this dilemma. You cant derive or deliver an opinion unless you know the whole story.

The reason I ask is you never know why words will strike you, what advice will move you. There is nothing wrong with getting a word from other people, especially on subjects that to a point everyone deals with.

I got tired of having threesomes with supermodels, so I decided to settle down with just one supermodel. I find it less expensive, but only moderately less sexually pleasurable. I've always valued my ability to find balance in life. And my triceps.

You know, I honestly miss you love.

My question is why does it matter to you? I'm happy, live my life the way I want to and no one can tell me otherwise. Why does everyone HAVE to have a single life? Who fucking cares? Let people do what they want to do and that's that.

You don't, and I am glad your happy. But its hard to value your opinion in this matter when you literally have no idea what you have missed. Thats all-

Sorry, just read this comment, didnt see it prior to my other reply. So... If you already know what you want out of life then why even make this thread? If your currently married and unhappy then get a divorce!

.

Problem is I am nit necessarily unhappy. Happy now, happy before, just question what is the better path for me right now.

.

 

HOWEVER, Ive always known i wanted kids and a wife and just a regular life and im totally comfortable doing that.

And from this I can tell you we are 100% different. From what I have seen in this world-cross country drives, 6 Bachelor Parties in Vegas, nearly a Month int he Alaskan Woods, 1 Month with a Backpack in Europe, Lining in Hawaii for a Summer..... I am 100% confident there is a lot more for me to see/do/experience. Kids/Family would hold me back

how do you measure success?? money?? good looking wife?? stable career?? meaningfull job?? healthy, happy family?? or being able to nail nearly everything with a heartbeat (supermodels)??

Happiness, period. I have been happy broke, and unemployed. I have been happy alone, and lost in Romania, and I am happy now with a woman by my side.

But I will tell you with 100% confidence, those who think money can not buy (or at least facilitate) happiness simply don't have enough of it.

Boy have I ruffled some feathers. And for the record- this is not about Women, and I have never done coke or smoked weed in my life.

I'm not married yet, actually I'm single lol because i want to be. I wanted to bang girls and it's easy for me. But that got boring, girls like that aren't a challege for me. I don't need to fly on a private jet to LA to get hot ass. It's just not where my priorities are now.

 

A wise man told me once that happiness is only real when its shared. I know some people will beg to differ, you are among those that will. Life to me isn't about pussy, money and cars. Sure I like all those things, but it will never control me. I'm 23 years old and I have experienced more than most people will in a lifetime. Between the countries I've spent time or the people I can call friends. I have seen it all and one thing I'm continually reminded of is how powerful MEANINGFUL human connection is. Not just banging bitches and snortin coke off a strippers ass. But something of a deeper level, a level that transcends language, culture and skin color. Your a smart, motivated guy with an influential personality. I doubt your purpose in life Is to fuck as many women as you can before you die.

Thats not mine either. Its not women I crave, its unlimited freedom. Women just come as a part of it on occasion. As I said, I have a network of friends that I can barley handle. That is part of the "issue". Its a good problem to have, but it does not leave much room for a marriage.

The biggest problem with this conversation is the assumption of static requirements for satisfaction, which just isn't the case. Everyone is different.

 

 

 

Problem number two is most people assumptions of successfulness and happiness are far screwed from reality.

Picture some GQ looking dude, smiling from ear to ear, hopping on his private jet, slaying puss all night, after working all day as the big swinging dick of the hedge fund he manages.

Happy and successful is how most people would portray him. It's the same guy that does unimaginable amounts of Coke just to "enjoy" his so fucking wonderful life, and also the guy that usually eats a self inflicted 12 gauge sandwich when things get tough.

The picture looks a little different now.

 

The easiest way to know what is important is how you would act if it were gone.

Personally, I could lose my job, my money, my cars, or any of my possessions and get over it.

 

I lived without my wife for a while, and although I made it through it,... I found out the hard way that she was more important to me than one night stands.

I agree. And being the godfather to 2 of my friends kids, I can agree they are the binding force for their relationships-I love them. But, I still have no want for one of my own. What I highlighted here was a good point, something I have considered, and something (being single) I would be 100% content being, which makes me question this even more.

been married over 8 years. we hardly ever argue, my best friend. I am blessed as we were married with the blessing of Jesus Christ and he is the center of our relationship. Without having good morals and respect for one another realtionships won't work out.

No offense to this guy, but just by this post I can tell you he is the Super Average Joe Im speaking of. Never been a savage, maybe never wanted to be. Cut out to be married and do the same damn thing until he dies. 100% not my MO

I've known my wife for 20 years. Holy shit I feel old now. I was 15 when I met her at the time and she was 13 (lol). We dated all through high school. I was 17 when my son was born and she was 15 (holy shit again). After she graduated (her parents STILL fucking hated me.. ) We moved out and got an apartment for a year and a half with our son. Got married in '99. Still married.

 

There are rough times and there are good times. We'll probably be together forever. Just as long as either one of us doesn't cheat on each other. She's not the type that would and I'm too fucking ugly and fat to have any honey check me out. (I just don't care).

 

As someone said above, it's commitment. Just to get married to get married to tell your friends.. big fucking deal. The person you married SHOULD be your life partner. If you find someone better.. that's tough shit.. you don't need to fuck them.

 

My parents just had their 50th Anniversary.. 50 fucking years. That's a LONG time. I'm sure my wife and I will make it there (or if I don't die first).

And your telling me you have NO real regret for never being single? Maybe you would not since you have no Idea what its like.....

Sounds like you don't wanna grow up. I was much like you for a short period of time and was generally unhappy. The sex with beautiful women was cool, the clubs with women and shit was cool, but all in all I knew I wanted a family and in order to have that i would most certainly have to tell my wife about my conquests. If she can handle knowing that about me I don't think there would be too many other things about me she wouldnt be able to handle. There are many reasons why people want to be single. If your main reason is to just fuck women, then it sounds like your an 18 year old kid. I know your not, just to me it comes across as immature.

When did you get married? And meeting a few girls in Arena District is about 30 levels below the type of lifestyle I am speaking of. Also, I highlighted the thing (among others Im sure) that sets us apart. I have such a vast network of friends and family I cant even keep up with now-I don't need create my own to feel whole. I do not have a need, or want, for kids.

I am not sure if its a need to "grow up"-some of the most successful and happy people I know are single, either never been married, or a long time divorced. I never ready the book where it said you had to have a wife and kids to "grow up". The one I saw actually spoke of 6 figure w2's, and early retirements. Both of which can be a distant memory with a wife that wants kids (unless its Cavin's Mom).

Im 28. I still have to beat women off with a bat. You're only young once, and you only have one life to live. I think pitching a tent in Ohio and calling it a life is no way to live it, at least not for me.

my buddy might be interested in these for the winter. please send me pictures through pm if you can

If he is only taking 2 I may take the other 2. LMK

To the people that check'd yes and happy- especially those who were long term before being married-

How was your single life? Did you really even have one? Answer honestly, if not here, to yourself.

IMO- if you did not go though at least a several year period of "dating" multiple women, being a complete savage, seeing to world, and Shaging as many radon woman as you cock can handle, then you have never really been single, or tasted what the single life could be.

I really think the guy that dated for 10 years, got married and had kids, a simple guy. In looks, life, ect. Maybe some people are just cut out for it-for a monogamous relationship with someone "on your level".

Most of the guys I have seen that fit that category are just simple guys. No one you'd see on the cover of Muscle and Fitness, or GQ. This makes me think....

I was a savage for a good amount of time-I have been with beautiful women all over this country, and in many parts of the globe. I really, really enjoy and cherish my freedom. And even though I currently have a great woman at my side;hot, great tang, cooks/cleans/forgives me when I come back from Vegas with stories of infidelity trailing me, I still think that this may not be for me.

In retrospect, I think being married is a matter of physical circumstance as much as it is being "committed" to one person.

aim consertive and when the blend changes to e70 the added richness will typically take care of it self. How many people run full boost during those seasons anyways? I tested the other day e83 @ meijers.

I am at full boost as soon as I leave my Fin Driveway

Haw many people have "been there"?

And, of those who are still married, your you really do it again? Really? Dont worry the wife is not looking.

PRE/PST NUPS PEOPLE COMMON!!

GLWS

FFWD to 1:52 and be prepared to jizz in your own pants. It would be worth buzzing past a OSP on 270 like that

If you fucks ever made it to Cleveland, you can see UR Super-everything build in person. Killing everything.

Are you speaking in Tirerack lingo... or whats really possible-versus-not?

 

 

Because, the people at tire rack tell me that my 240sx can run a max of 18x8+30 in the rear... and Im Running 18x10+15.... and have run 18x11 in the past...

 

JP, why not stop by and throw them on next weekend? or this weekend. thats a surefire way to tell.

I would come just to kick it! But Im super fucked for time next few weeks.

Can you confirm the offset will work with a 2000 328i?

Thanks

Plenty of Subarus have been DDing on E85 for years and years with no issues at all.

Do they have drums of E85 int he garage, or are they changing their tune to compensate for changes in Ethanol Levels?

I ran E85 in a 10 second DD for 2 years. Although I likes how it performed-a good pump gas tune is much easier to live with.

There's no gray area. It's pretty easy to distinguish the 2. People are just stupid. It's super easy to get financing (and even construction financing) for actual modular homes. It's just all about knowing what you are buying and doing it correctly.

I am, and have been speaking from the perceptive or a lender dealing with people looking to refinance their existing property, in which case having a "modular" home would be advantageous. And yes, many of them are "stupid"

Not if an actual modular home. Lots of manufactured homes are sold as "modulars". The ones you see going down the freeway with in 2 halves are actually "manufactured" homes. Modulars come in pieces and most of the house is assembled on site, rather than just putting 2 halves together

=The gray area to the average borrower who thinks the lender wont eventually find out its a manufactured home. This was the issue I mentioned in my first post.

THIS is a modular home

http://www.allamericanhomes.com/floorplans.php?floorplan=Orleans

 

THIS is a manufactured home

http://www.mobilehomesjacksonville.com/images/manufactured-home.jpg

 

The first one you cna get regular financing just as easily as an on site built house.

The second one comes in on a body on frame set up and is typically set on a raised post foundation. You have a harder time getting financing for those, and no, they have shitty resale.

Fair enough. The problem lies in the fact that everyone that has a manufactured home, THINKS is a Mod, and every Mod THINKS its stick built. Typically the truth would not come out until you have a title Cert.Some banks do use the same ratios and for Mods and Standard Detached, some don't. It is what it is.

Incorrect. I can offer the EXACT same rate, term, and cost for a modular as I can a stick-build.

 

Resale in 'this market' is shit for any home regardless of make. Let's not muddy the water of the conversation.

 

It is a proven fact that modular homes are better built than *most* stick-builds. Think about why...Modulars are built in a factory and are immune to weather during the build...no water soaked wood. The cuts are all done by machine and are exact compared to joe-schmo hungover builder/undocumented worker. Usually higher quality materials, and still less expensive than a stick-build.

As can I, but the discount will be reflected in the borrower's closing cost. That, and there is a lot more legwork on the lender and borrower's end to get an underwriter to approve such a loan. Odd that your pushing a mod like you sell, or, live in one. You say "proven fact." I'd like to see the proof;backed by pictures, evidence, and some sort of repeatable provable analysis.

To make sure people dont think a Mod=Single Family home, here are the guidelines for Fannie/Freddie, the GSE's who's directives drive the US lending industry. Like it or not, they make the rules.

Read the bottom-you need to see Section H33.3e for Mods

http://www.freddiemac.com/sell/factsheets/pdf/manufactured_homes_387b.pdf

Even if you don't know what your reading, its easy to see a loan for a Mod is much more difficult that a standard home. Consequently, your rates and fees will reflect that. And HAVE FUN taking a cash-out refinance for one!
