Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I have a good idea...

Leave work at 11.

Go to Walmart.

Buy Beer.

Go work on the Altima all night long.

Get hammered but not make much progress.







Approved? :thumbup:

hmmmm, decisions decisions. pretty sweet house with very little land but right on a lake, house with slightly more land but it has an attached 2 story barn/garage thing, or house with a ton of land (over an acre) but only a 1 car under garage so won't be much room to work on cars (but again, plenty of land to put up a garage later).

Get preapproved before you even look, banks do shit that makes no sense at all when it comes to that. You don't know your budget till they tell you... and remember, PITI not just principal, use Brett Whissel's amortization calculator religiously, and make sure you take closing costs and legal fees into account.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

yeah, hopefully getting another preapproval to see what I can (actually) afford this week... the first approvals I just asked about 100k and went from there. Lately I have started shopping for nicer places so anticipated price range has been bumped a bit higher than I originally planned.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I've changed direction on that... started out looking at condos in the 10-20k range (this was in spring 09, a long time ago), moved up to fixer uppers in the 30-50 range financed and got laughed out of course (no bank is financing fixer uppers at all right now unless they are insane) then went to fixer uppers in the 30-60 range all-cash or very lightly financed depending on which end of the range. Now I'm not going over 40 and don't intend to finance for any reason, or even try to.

I've mostly been consumed with trying to get all my vehicles ready to roll though. Was doing great (all 4 ran and drove to some extent) till I blew up the M54 and decided to yank the drivetrain out of the 96 while bored/frustrated sunday night. It's back in, and only a couple hours of work to finish the job but I was far too sore to work on it last night and I'm still at work right now, probably will get it done tomorrow night.

I've nearly given up on the housing market, after the last pack of retards and difficulty and huge amount of stress I went through only to have them basically screw me and leave me finding and moving into an apartment in 3-4 days flat, I'm a bit sour on the whole idea. Once all the vehicles are running again I'll give it another serious shot, and I'm playing hardball this time. Screw em, they have no one to sell to now that the first time homebuyer credit is over, they'll take my damn offer and be glad for it.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Oh and I love getting told at 9:30 pm that my Dad is going to be using my car to go to the airport and leave it there for the week. Best part is he is leaving the house at 4 am and after telling me he's using my car, he tells me I have to clean it because he is picking up my aunt that is spoiled and wont sit in a car that has dog hair in the back seat. Now the Jeep is still on the lift with no axle under the front and he is leaving me with his POS Chevy K1500 so I can "Still go to the dump on Wednesday and Saturday."

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

If I were you I'd flat out refuse to clean the car, absolutely. Tell her to bring a towel if she's so damn offended by a bit of dog hair... not like it's wheelbearing grease smeared on the seat :laugh:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Nah, I try to be nice to her because she's loaded. Usually she gives me like $200 in iTunes gift cards, this year i'm just going to tell her to give me one of those prepaid cards so I can order drop brackets. And she made a comment one time"You need a nice reliable vehicle, like my Scion. I'll probably just give it to you in a year or two."
