Turbo. Between renting out the house, going out to sea and possibly making rank. It could happen in time for me to come home to a monster by next summer.

something to work hard for and to look forward to.

with how easy my STI made power from just a tune, turbo's are fun.

Leingod · 04-09-2016, 08:43 PM

I really want to paint my headlights black, but am deathly afraid to do it myself...

Leingod · 04-09-2016, 08:56 PM

Has anyone tried Popcorn time? I guess they have a built in VPN for extra safety. may give it a shot. Netflix is getting a little stale for new content.

Been Debating parting out and selling the Z again. My wife says not to sell it but with the baby now and traveling for work, I'm not sure how much use it'll get. Instead of depreciating away, I could take the money and invest it for an early college fund for my daughter. Ugh, decisions.

I personally wouldn't. Look at it this way for college. Say you sell the Z and get 20k for it. That'll cover maybe 2 years at a community college or 1 semester at a nice college. Also remember that this will be 18+ years from now. Who knows how college loans will be. People can't afford them now. That bubble will some day burst just like the housing market.

Just something to think about. I'd you do part out, I call first dibs on parts! Lol

Um what? My investment accounts have been averaging 10% annual returns. Said $20,000 at a modest 8% annual return and given no further contributions are made over the next 18years, the net balance will be around $79k....

Sad to say buy Zs value is depreciating away, they are becoming cheap cars nowadays. That's why I'm thinking about getting out while I'm ahead. Downside is no more fun car for awhile until we buy another house.

I wasn't thinking of interest. Disregard my previous statement. Sell Z. Send kid to Yale. Lol.

b15 · 04-09-2016, 09:51 PM

Ha! It's responsible me vs car guy me. Thinking I'll probably keep the Z until we actually get some decent weather and see how much use it gets. I probably won't do anything until later in the season. No need to get rid of a toy when there's really no need to. Have to be sure!
