What have you done to your ride lately?

Woot! Only paid them bastards about $300 in interest and if I take off the 1%-2% cash back from my credit card payments/down payments, it would be much less. Should have the title in a few days.

Also helps to buy a cheap car. Could of gotten Audi and been in debt. Decided on 18k Subaru and paid off in little under year. Screw bling!

That's the way to do it. We got the wife's ride at 0% but we still out down about 1/2 because we didn't want a large payment. Should have left the $$ in the bank but felt it was worth the risk to keep a low payment should something happen.

So are you ready to start the mild build on the old truck? I will work for beer.

I need to rewire the Taco. I have everything to do so. Just need to get
a round to it. Little 81 needs some love but it's solid as it is. It's next once I finish the tacos wiring.

Sounds like you need me to come drink beer and watch you while you work for motivation. If it is what I have to do to get it done I will do it.

I'm down. I wanna watch Sean rewire his super audio controller so I can see how it's done. Then I'll sit back with Zech and drink beer lol

I did similar. Could of paid much more down but decided to finance in case of an $$$ surprise like some kid showing up at my door calling me daddy.

I need to seek the advice of a pro money manager so I can get a better idea of what I need to do to make the most of what I have. Been buying short term CD's recently and only getting crap rates.

Problem is I'm a control freak who is paranoid and suspect of all new people. Perfect storm for never trusting anyone especially with money I made while literally killing myself over the past few years.

Just find someone who's been in business for awhile and set up a meeting. If you don't like them, then you can walk out. We've been using a guy for years for who is awesome. Just realize that they get a percentage of what you make off your money and be fine with it. My father always tried to manage his own stocks because he felt the same as you do but after he passed my mom went to a highly recommended guy here in Houston who started making money off of my father's stocks.

Yea, I'm ready. Made .004% on one long term account last quarter.... my savings account gets better rates than that.

Once we get the socialist Kenyan out of office with his sub-par business policies, we should be off to the races. :)

Ordered new LED's for the Tacoma so every exterior light on the truck will be an LED now. I figured it was getting time to replace everything since all the bulbs are original to the truck. I replaced one brake light last year and the headlight bulbs but that's it. I got the lower lumen lights so that I won't completely blind the person behind me when I step on the brakes.
I also ordered an engine bay lighting kit as well so that'll be nice to have at night.

I also ordered a set of these for the reverse lights. Can't wait to try em out. :)

I want to see the output if you can. I switched to LEDs, but don't like them very much. These look brighter, in advertising at least...

Locker switch is here so I am probably going to at least mount the switch panel this week. I will order a 2nd USB charging port to fill the empty spot for now.

Also got in my new swaybar links and quick detaches. Will probably mount them this week as well.
