Where I grew up your suv and sedan are really nice cars.... and in some neighborhoods the are gilded chariots.

Next to a buggatti or Zonda the Lamborghini isn't all that nice at all.

Brian Williams is a fucking dick. I watched his entire nightly episode of terrible shit so I could hear about the story of fifteen twins in one school in Lebanon, TN (wanted to know what was causing people there to have twins). Finally get to the story, and they say: "It's simply coincidence." Bullshit.

First world problems bro.

:-D

I am such an asshole. If being a wise ass is as bad as I thin k it might be, the room I have in hell is going to be particularly hot and horrid.

They must have a tanning factory in the area dumping bromide into the drinking supply.

Bromide? Only thing I could find on google related to bromide and twins was Rocuronium bromide.

Why is everyone obsessed with how much others have and how "unfair it is".

I look at a dude in a Lamborghini and I think, how should I work to get one. The people I know think, that prick has too much.

What the fuck kind of thinking is that?

 

 

People are soo varied, you can expect endless points of view.

 

I want to figure out what I can do to get to that level :)

Seth, do you have any experience with the Ethos scanners?  I am looking for something cheap(er) to replace my MT2500.  I just need OBDII scan, clear, movie, simple tests and maybe ABS pump bleed capability. 

 

 

Yeah, the Ethos is OK, but IMO it is way overpriced. For similar money you can get the Autel Maxidas, which is a much more powerful device.

 

Friend of mine had a 400ex with some mods. Was riding with him the day i rolled a grizzly 700 and shattered my collar bone. pushed it a little too hard trying to keep up with him in the corner sad.png

 

I'd rather have a bike over a quad. 

 

Yeah, I wouldn't push a Grizzly in a corner. The independent rear suspension is really not conducive to laying it out. They pitch too much and are terribly unpredictable.

 

Bikes are too much work for this old man. I'll ride my son's for an hour and I am exhausted.

 

I've had a recent affinity for an Infiniti.

Didn't you just get done complaining about GM's cheap interiors? Infinity interiors fall apart all the damn time. Sure, they wrap the plastic, but who cares when the shit is falling down?

This picture makes me want one.

...with a crap load of mods to match the suspension. Then I pinch myself and realize it is a fucking Trailblazer.

I think they look great, along with the TB SS, and a built LS would make for fun.  The TBs aren't too bad aside from the typical cheap GM interior.

I was looking at different seats, having the dash wrapped in leather, and throwing in a 10" screen in the dash.  Still cheapo plastic around it though.   Saab is WAY nicer than the TBSS.

Cars work could lease me:

 

Has to be around $45k with the allowance of 15k mi/yr and still worth $25k in 36mo.

Certified:

BMW X6M

BMW X5 5.0

2013 Jeep SRT8

 

I thought another option was to take a $15k Saab, spend $15k on mods.  Have a $30k car that is worth $10k in the end for the same payment.  At the end I'd then keep it for towing and such and lease a car.

 

Any and all repairs, brakes, and other service items are mine to swallow during the 3 years.  Those little things were somewhat painful on the Benz totaling over $100/mo in just disposables.  Figured having it rolled in on a car I had built would alleviate that.  Just hard stepping down into the interior from what I currently have.  The exterior I am not nearly as concerned.

 

Needs to be quick, handle reasonably well and tow at least 5k lbs.  (My boat is 6800lbs in reality, but according to the manufacturer it is under 5k, lol).  I am more concerned with towing a snowmobile trailer.  Going to be getting a 22'er that is about 2600lbs + 3-4 600lb sleds.  That number is super conservative being the dry weight of my sled is closer to 420lb

Something like this (yeah already sold)

http://www.tbssowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91227

would still allow me to add snow tires and some interior goodies and come in under $30k

 

Of course, I don't fucking fit in the TBSS so that is sort of moot, but I do fit in the Saab which is fundamentally the same car with the old Olds interior and Saab badging.

Benefit is that I could own it in the end, downside is I'd be sick of it like hell.  I really want a car is my problem, but it flat out doesn't work for my lifestyle.  Don't think I can handle buying a "cheap" truck as a second vehicle either.

It's all in the mentality. I look at the Lambo and think, while it would be nice, I could have several nice cars and left over money to donate to those in need.

Do you really believe that? I have never in my life met someone with that mentality.

I have given the Matt challenge to countless people and never has anyone taken all their next raises and donated to those in need. I have had a couple guys swing at me after I made that challenge though.

I didn't say all of it.

 

I really am NOT a fan of money or material posessions.  I like my fast cars and music and that's about it.  As long as my son is comfortable, that's all that matters to me.  If I have leftover money and it won't hurt my financial stability, I donate to those who need it.  In the case of a wad of money like the Lambo, indeed that would be what I would do. If I ever win the lottery, half of the money will immediately go to charity.  There's no need for a huge house, bunch of cars, expensive clothes, etc. . .

Yeah, but aside from the one M45 I drove, I have no experience with their interiors.  The one I drove felt nice and tight.  12oK miles and it was rattle-free.

Are there any pictures at page 1, just wondering?

 

I wanted to see how it's all done, not only the end result.

AZ to FL you are a glutton.

 

 

My brother and his wife live down here in Clearwater. I'm considering moving down here, and looking at Western Colorado too. 

 

 

Just can't stay in AZ after I get out.
