Gotta love equity! Good luck and try to re invest your money. The number one thing that I learned is that money makes money.

Very true! Can you imagine paying more for our EVOs than they cost originally. Screw that! I love my EVO but I would never do that dido for the Supra.

Let me see, I can buy a 10+ year old heavy boat for a car that can make gobs of usless horsepower ie 1000RWHP Supras running 12-14 sec 1/4 mile passes. I have seen this and I am not saying that they are all the same but I have had friends that owned 600-800 Rwhp Supras and couldn't get them into the 11's.

Or

Buy a brand new car (EVO) with the most sophisticated AWD handling capabilities. Some have broke into the 12's all stock! Best bang for the Buc ever! Awesome brakes(Brembo)/Seats(Recaro)/Wheels(Enkie)/Tires/Steering and Steering wheel(Momo). With a couple thousand dollars you can run into the 11's in a car that was never meant to be a Drag car but take it to an actual track or road course and with your $30k car you are beating BMW M3s/ Audi S4s/ Supras/ Porches. Hell the FQ400 hangs with lambos. I have the same mods that that EVO has minus the ACD and Super AYC.

To me it is easy the EVO wins all day, everyday. They can have there out dated Supras, as a matter fact please keep them, but mean while me and my 4cyl will continue to enjoy the road together and shear dominance with less horse power but more drivability.

I choose the EVO! I hate Mitsu but love the EVO.

I bought a house last july. I redid the kitchen, redid 2 bathrooms, new closets, slidding door replaced with a Frech Door, new lighting, paint, procelain tile in the kitchen and laminate wood floors all thru the house.

I bought it for 105k off a women ready for a nasy divorce and it was in awful condition. It was a rental or several years. I got it apraised at 250k just two weeks ago. I am terrified of what these hurricanes are going to do with our housing market. I am going to take my gains move back in with the parents for a while and buy something nice when the bottom falls out. Been wanting a house with a garage for a while. Hopefully I'll be able to find a good deal in the comming months.

I am bit paranoid since I got burned with the 99's stock craze. When a damn janitor knows real estate is the place to be warning lights go off in my head.

here is a pic of me working on the kitchen I am man of many talents. I have my dad to thank for that.

 

Yes, Miami is very inflated. And yes, lots of people are becoming real estate "experts," much like people were "stock experts" before the crash. Here in California, a lot of "investors" have never been through a down market (a la the early 90's). The thing that will help a little is that real estate doesn't loose value as quickly as stocks do. Anyway, it will be interesting to watch. California, Miami, and the Northeast are all overvalued, plus Vegas.

 

Holy beanpole!!

 

Nice cabinets...IKEA?

Been in ours a little over 2 years, way bigger than we need since it's just my wife and I, but I dig it!

 

26 now, 23 when I bought my first house. Been busy since the start, new wood floors on the entire 1st floor, marble in 1 bathroom limestone in another bathroom, finished garage, sliding back door, paint in every room but my bedroom, finished basement. All my time goes into my house, with a little time to work on the evo and ride a little.

 

i own my home outright

 

Real estate should be very interesting in the next year or two. I bought my house during the last real estate bubble in 1988 in one of the hottest markets in the country. Two years later you couldn't give it away. It took ten years for it to come back to what I paid for it and it really took off over the last few years. Nonetheless, since I bought near the top, the annualized price appreciation from what I paid for it in 1988 to what I could sell it for now is around 3.5% a year or what you could get in a money market. Even that's assuming the price doesn't drop over the next couple of years ( as I expect it will). I wouldn't be surprised at all if my house was worth $100K less a year from now.
