i may sell my car.

[pointysticks]

it is paided off, but i am sure it depreciated like a rock. i am thinking of remodeling my house, and i am really feeling the void that happened when i sold my truck. love the car, but damn constructions supplies runs will be retarded.

i have taken it pig hunting, and would have stuffed the dead animal on a tarp if i had scored. sheetrock...wont fit.

Yeehaw!

are you from tx??

[evilmonkeyMSP]

you can rent a truck at lowes or home depot for $20 for 75 min for taking supplies home(or whatever) if needed. that sounds cheaper than losing your ass on depreciation.

[pointysticks]

you cannot rent a truck enough to remodel a home. i would buy the thing for the company.

depreciation on the mazda..i didnt buy it to make money. i hated car payments. i paid off the car in just a few payments. my main deal is i would miss such a fun car. i am from texas...moved to the bay area a long time ago.

Buy cheap beater truck?

As gay as it sounds, maybe you should start a twitter account.

[bgibb68]

ha....but i would say go find a lil beater truck....an old f150, dakota(bigger than ranger or s10 size), etc.....you can find a good used one for a couple grand and hey....second vehicle....

i know i love my dakota as a second car plus i can actually haul and move shit....it's nice

[pointysticks]

yea, maybe a beater truck. four cars is going to be a tough sell for the wife. i have a restored older porsche 911 sitting in the garage.

ok....that doesn't count

[MSMS3]

1. Tell wifey that the beater truck is already depreciated as much as it's gonna be, so you really can't lose money on it.

2. Buy it, move the materials, then sell it.

3. Chances are you'll get as much or more for it when you sell as you paid for it.

4. If you do it right, you'll make a little profit on the sale and can give the profit to wifey.

5. Everybody is happy.

(Alternative scenario: wifey likes the utility of the beater truck and asks you to keep it around).

a truck does come in handy A LOT

SELL THE CAR!!

Get a big, shiny Toyota truck so you can throw Bambi's dead arse in the back with his momma.

[SubieKiller3]

well whatever you decide to go with just make sure you "GIT ER DONE!"

[coololddude]

don't remodel the house and buy another MS3!!

[GoFast]

so because someone is from the south does that automatically mean that say git er done or like larry the cable guy? Are those types of stereotypes any more acceptable than say a stereotype about black people or Hispanics?

it is paided off

(alright)

[Tender Vittles]

For reals tho... if she's paid off why sell???

[builthatch]

in july i bought a practically mint '87 montero for this purpose. to haul shit for the house, and especially to haul my boxer dog. it makes sense to have a 3rd vehicle for this purpose. i got it for 1200 bucks without any rust, and everything works sans gas gauge and dome light, even the ac.

[bgibb68]

you're legally retarded


no....i iq is higher than most people.....not in either state either



you sleep with your cousins and talk really slowly?

you're the one that wanted pics(bird)

I thought texans beat their wives and perfered sheep over cousins. The cousin thing is arkansas. /end threadjack

Keep the ms3. Buy a beater truck. Fix your house. Sell the beater truck.

[bgibb68]

or kentucky......and yes....here in texas, the men are men and sheep are scared.......thank god i'm not from texas.....

well for one, i am myself from the south. i grew up around people like that my whole life. i dont have a crazy strong southern accent or anything, but i do like me some lynyrd skynyrd(band2) coors lite in a can is really good. larry the cable guy started out on a local radio station here and me and my friends have been using that term for like 15 years now. so if i wanna say "git er done" to a fellow southerner i will damn well do so. sorry if you have no sense of humor.(ugh).

[pointysticks]

hahaha!

you people crack me up.

for the record, the ones talking the most smack....have the most typos and grammar errors.

buy a cheap truck, then sell it when your done. OOOORRR you can order all your shit from one place, and have them deliver ALL of it on a huge flatbed semi truck that has a forklift. (smash)

[mazdaspeedster3]

Seriously though, you are going to sell your speed3 so you can buy a truck for ONE kitchen remodel? How big is your kitchen, 5500 sq ft? I know the trips back and forth to HD get annoying and you never remember it all but you seriously can rent a Uhaul pickup for $24 a day.

[pointysticks]

no...full house, stud out remodel.

i would imagine 40% of my materials coming out of lowes or home depot. those stores are good for only the basic building materials.


curious how many responders live at home with their parents....(uhm)

[maestro]

LOL, my mommy stays at my house when she is in town, does that count?

[mazdaspeedster3]

I thought you said just a kitchen remodel, dont know where I got that? So you are doing a stud out on the whole house? Whatever building supply company you go with (your right HD/Lowes will be to expensive) will deliver a majority of it if ordered correctly up front. A pick up truck certainly isnt going to do all that. IMO selling a car to get a car just for that one project is a waste, then you will sell the truck when done and buy another at major loses on top of what you are already eating selling the 3. Find a work around and go for it. And so you know, I havent lived at home for over 20 years and have done multiple stud out remodels in my life.

[jred321]

curious why that matters (uhm)

[pointysticks]

curious why that matters (uhm)

from the entertaining responses, i was just thinking out loud...that is the thing about being curious...most of it doesnt matter. if it did matter it goes from being curious...to a full blown question.

mazdaspeedster...great point. this would be my first major renovation. most of it would be done by the pros, but i think i can handle plenty on my own. pretty nervous about it. not only will i need supplies, i imagine running tools about would come into play. just sounding off on a public forum. i dont take jack personal. i KNOW i would get an answer 180 degrees off, if i posted up the same thread on a truck forum....

now back to the redneck jokes.................

[evilmonkeyMSP]

I hate hanging drywall....bah! good luck with all that lol
