were right under 70" right now.... i like it but come spring it must be gone

 

Spent $91 at Toyota buying new bumper brackets... Zipties weren't cutting it


Then I got stuck backing in my driveway. I miss my 33's



And finally, she's back to stock height.

 

what exactly is toyota gonna do with yours?

 

im extremely shocked/surprised they took that as a trade. Youd get told to get bent here bringing something like that back.

 

not trying to be rude to alex but at the dealership that i go to and where my dad got his tundra they would tell me to make it spotless and fix everything if i was going to trade it in. id get told to replace every broken piece before they even consider it. i do know that alex has a good relationship with his dealer however

 

same here. the dealer i worked for was very strict. He used to pull me from parts to overlook trade ins cause my attn to detail.

 

My dealer was like that when I traded in my '05 Highlander. That thing looked better when I traded it than it did new.

 

for shits and gigs i called the salesman who sold my dad his truck on my drive home, heres what he said when i asked "what would i need to do in order to trade in my 4runner"

"in short, it'd have to be stock. we won't accept any trade ins that aren't stock. the only exception is vehicles that have trd parts, and we still inspect those pretty rigorously. as far as condition goes, it doesnt need to be completely detailed when it comes in, but clean certainly helps. no broken, cracked, shattered, or heavily dented pieces either, or we simply won't take it. the effort to fix them isn't worth what we can sell them for."

not 100% verbatim cause memory, but thats the jist of what he told me.

thats how mine does now. it was nasty when i got it, i don't know who the detail guy was at the dealer but he should be fired.

 

My sales guy is very good to me. Took $2k out of the trade in value to cover repairing the rear quarter, which is understandable.

Other than that, the interior is in decent shape and the engine is strong.

 

Signed a lease on an apartment today

 

nice, over the pond or in FL?

Whats rent there anyway. I just signed mine

 

In FL, $579 a month which is mid range for that complexes around FSU. Not sure what it is over here, living in campus housing.

 

That's cheap as hell. Ari is paying $1050 for a studio on Long Island

 

lolz. i pay 2,800 and change for a 1 bedroom split with the wooman

 

It's also a 4 bedroom, If I had the studio it would be around $950

 

jesus. My 12 month lease for a 1br/1ba 700sqft apt is $1,110

 

I mean it is a college apartment complex, none of them are that expensive or nice

 

I paid similar prices in college, a little more, but I lived in squalor in the ghetto of Philly.

I want to buy. ASAP.

 

ill be buying next year. been scouting the market and im right about there. Wedding is next march then its house time.

 

Buying is the plan for ari and I in AZ

 

lol my apartment is like $300

 

Lame

My house is like $0

 

technically my half is $540 plus Cable/Internet cause she pays Gas/Water

 

it helps that i split with two others, but it also helps that i live in the #1 worst city in the country

 

What are housing prices like where you want to buy?

I love the condos behind my apt, they are like townhouses with a garage underneath. 1.2M for 2500 sq ft.

 

no thanks id commute

 

My cousin and her husband lived in a place just like that for around the same price before they moved from Arlington to Philly

 

Ones we're looking at are 4br/2.5ba 1700-2300 sqft for around 255k-320k Our ceiling is 330k

I wont even buy a condo/townhome. No way, its the same as an apartment except the tenants care.

 

Recall where?

We are looking at 2 BR condos for 600k.

I wouldn't be thrilled about it, but more space would be nice. Ideally I'd like a garage, even if its a townhome. Moving out to where houses with land are affordable isn't really an option.

 

last can of clear shows up today. Can finally finish these fenders.
