  1. You haven't yet? Why haven't you? :mad:;)

     

    I mean it effectively does every time I take it out on the street lol. I have a pile of ride-along vids.

     

    But, I have not tried a "hoon course" on street tires. Drifitng...ect. Only tuff part is the DogBox does not like downshifting. Would really have to do it with a syncro box installed.

  2. He said they'll do it again, but who knows when that will happen now that winter has hit.

    Yes, as there is so much snow in Nevada today..... :lolguy:

     

    My mindset is different. If you are claiming your car can do this without modification, then doing it should be a matter of turning the key, hitting the gas, and keeping it straight. It should not take a year of staging for a car to do what you as a the manufacture claim it can in fact do.

  3. This reads like an old school E-Battle on a forum lol.

     

    I want to believe it, but I have 2 lingering issues.

     

    1) They statement "Driven Studios does have extensive footage of everything that transpired and is working with SSC to release the actual footage in its simplest form. We’ll share that as soon as it’s available." It's been 2+ months. Where is it?

     

    2) DO IT AGAIN. As with any form of racing, the easiest way to silence any doubters is to BACK IT UP. But another Dewetron tracker in the car, toss a Draggy in there, toss a V Box in there, lay some markets out at the 1 mile and 2 mile marks so you can measure speed vs. distance, and put the Fokin' hammer down. Invite reps from Ferrari, Labo, Bugatti, and Koenigsegg to witness it.

  4. I don't even know what's available around CLE, but after initial cost of entry, the monthly rate is very reasonable most places I've seen to get a clean, new, working boat everytime you want to use it.

     

    Maybe I am not seeing these services, because the only ones I have priced out seem very expensive.

  5. Expensive yes, but so is owning a cheap boat. Committing upfront, X for a membership takes all the stress and hassle out of everything.

     

    IDK, maybe I have been lucky? I have made money on every floating thing I have owned. Just have to buy shit at the right time of the year. Maybe I am due for a fail lol.

  6. since that is less than 10k which was your budget, buy boat outright by yourself.

     

    I don't need or want a boat that big lol.

     

    I should add they are willing to pay for a dock during the season if( 1500-2k depending on marina amenities) if I take care of storage (free, lol). It's a good arrangement for everyone.

  7. I honestly don't know the market, but if your top budget is honestly $10k I can't imagine anything in the 28-32 foot range not being old and at least soon to be broken.

     

    Almost everyone I know with boats that size that stay around Ohio or even go to some of the bigger lakes down south have open bow boats. But we aren't up near lake Erie so that might play a role in the decision. Speaking of Lake Erie, do you plan on going out on it at all? I would guess a 21-23 foot boat could be small and my impressions is nasty storms can pop up quickly.

     

     

    Well- 0 to $20k they are comfortable with, but I don't think we should spend that much on something that may be short-lived.

     

    Pop up storms really don't happen up here, it's always a front or something predictable. Also, you are rarely more than 2 miles from shore. Docs all over, so you can be in port in 15-20 basically anywhere you go. the cabin is nice for full day and overlight trips...which is a possiblity if the boak is docked in Sanduask for example.

     

    I’ve attempted to share a boat with someone. It’s a pain in the ass, for all the reasons you’re probably concerned with deep down.

     

     

    I’m sure there’s yearly boat memberships in the area. Definitely go that route! You will have various options to choose from, plus the benefits of a private club.

     

    I've done it before and it worked really well actually, but I was just an add on. As long as you have a good line of commununcation with the group. I am actually the one that propsoed it to this group. :)

     

    The only "boat club" memberships up here seem retarded expensive. LMK if you see an affordable option?

     

     

    10k 28 footer lol

     

    Lookin at 20ft donzis, checkmates and they are basically non existent under 10k

     

    There are deals up here, especially now! This guy already told me he would take 9,500. Its a very nice boat in person.

  8. So 2 buddies and I want to get a boat. We figure none of us want to use it 24/7, but between the 3 of us it I will get used all summer. We all have kids, figure 1-7 yrs old. They have not had boats before. I have had Jet skis, 17', 21' inboard and outboard.

     

    They seem to want 28-32+ range with a small cabin. I like a 21-23 with an open bow for day use, and so we have flexibility on when and wear to use it. 2 out of 3 of us have vehicles that can town a 23. No one can tow a 28+ lol, so I think anything binger than 25 will be kept in the water, which adds doc fees. A plus and minus, plus as it’s a destination: and many marinas up here are like little resort communities with pools and what not.

     

    In short- what would CR recommend? Budget is between $1 and $10,000.

  9. That's an awesome shed, JP.

     

    Thanks! It honestly turned out better than expected for just winging it lol.

     

    inb4 jps shed ocd kicks in and redoes the shelving. i know it all too well.

     

    If there is one thing I am not, its OCD lol. For most things I do, good enough is good enough. ;)

     

     

    Jp do you ever half ass anything, always turns out awesome man

     

    Have you seen my car? LOL. The engine bay would give most people a heart attack. It works well, just looks like shit lol. My policy with the Hobo is 100% if it ain't broke, don't feaking touch it. So, some temporary patches become permanent fairly quickly. :)

  10. The joist hangers used on the foundation in this pic.

     

     

     

    EDIT: Ope. Shaun got it.

     

     

    I put the joist hangers on first, then dropped joists in, then lag bolted, then suppoered with stone blocks underneath. Few reasons

     

    1) 1 man show remember. It was simply the easiest way for me to do it solo.

     

    2) YouTube said so :dumb:

     

    3) Rather be overkill here. I am 200% sure there is going to be much more heavy shit than normal in here. I mean hell I already have 5 transmissions and a pile of axles on the corner shelves already LOL.

  11. Looks pretty good. Kudos for building yourself. Why the extra hardware on the base?

     

    Thanks! On the hardware, can you elaborate?

     

    Good stuff JP I just paid people to setup a 10x16 this year for double that lol

     

    Right! And, thats likley one that is just wood sides, 1x consturction, no loft...ect. Unfortunaly with the Vynal siding requirement, and my desire for a 2nd story of shelves, I was immediatly thrust into the $5k+ and up territory for one that was built and delivered.

     

    That shelf up top is over 6ft high, and 24 deep. Lots of room for activites (IE, car junk lol)withotu losing any floor space.
