This is a great shot.

Remington 597?

 

Just put in another offer on another place.
This brings the total up to 5. yep . . . 5 offers so far. 3 I was beat out by price. 2 I was too late.

So now a little different route. I am gonna try to get a condo instead of a house. The houses in this area in my price range are all a little older. But this condo I just signed the offer on is a 2006 3 bed/2 bath 2 car attached garage.


Cross your fingers for me . . . or whatever it is to send out good joo-joo

 

i dont know why but all the pictures from post 1006 and back are not showing up?

once again i have been out of the office a lot today so i havent checked my calendar till now OH YEAH ANOTHER EASTER!

 

Where's Spice Boy!

 

jake> my 0.02 is if u can afford it, stay the hell away from condos & townhomes or anything that involves a home owners association.

you're spending a lot of $ & time on a home. do u really want to deal with the insanity of a bunch of looney neighbors dictating what u can or can't do to your place, where and how to park you cars, when u can or can't wash your car, and how to maintain your garden/ backyard etc?

my own exp is if i ever have to live in a "community" setting like a condo or townhouse ever again, i'd rather just rent and not deal with all the headaches.

single houses are the way to go.

 

Jake, its just a marlin 22LR.


It seems all the links I posted got changed. I dont knwo if they randomly change or if it was just a once type of thing??? all well. hopefully everyone got to see the pictures posted.


I'll just post one random pic of the day.

 

bumpity bump.

 

whose "George" ?

 

i think he means the chimp that's pretending to run the white house atm...

 

^^^

 

George is our redneck friend.
Tall guy, dark hair . . . I think you have seen him at a meet before? Dunno?


So how many J's are in your name?

UMMMM I believe there TWO "J"s in


Jorge-the-Jedi-master?

Duh!!!

 

quick suspension question:

- Looking at picking up some Tanabe sways but I'm pretty sure the stock bushings won't work. Anyone know if tanabe's bushings fit or can I go with something like RB's?

there's a thread from about a year back showing that the Tanabe bushings weren't the right size. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ht=tanabe+sway

 

Ghost has tanabe sways. I know for a fact that he used the tanabe ones as he recently gave me the stock bushings.

 

hmmm.... interesting.
Did you see that link I posted?

 

are swaybars those black horizontal reinforcing bars that are under the hood and also in the trunk?

 

Those are strut bars.
swaybars go underneath

 

ooooh... i've been calling it the wrong thing all this time i guess. :P

 

nope, didn't look....but i'll take a gander now.

 

just read the thread you linked earlier about the tanabe bars....I can't imagine Ghost went and got bushings from an auto parts store.....I would suggest pm'ing Ghost, but I don't think he is on very often. I could always give you his cell, or call him for you? You have my cell, right>?

 

I think Rotary Rasp has Tanabe's as well and I noticed on his website (www.trickrx8.com) that he also replaced the bushings, etc.

Plot thickens.

 

NOT MUCH GOING ON IN HERE TODAY. i saw the sway bar topic but the rest looked like junk not actually knowing what is going on.

 

have u guys seen this?

www.hyundaigenesis.com

am not sure i'm sold on hyundai's brand name. but, just from looks & pricing it looks very promising... basically a cheaper version of a 7 series bmw or s-class mercedes.

interesting...

 

I have always said that Hyundai had a great long term plan.
Come in to the market with an affordable car that would last a long time. And those Hyundai Excel's were a good little car.
Then they started in with the more expensive models, all the way up to the azera and 350 recently.
But who in their right mind is gonna buy a Korean car that depreciates faster than a Jaguar?
