Got this one off Amazon 

I got the adapter to run my 20v dewalt batteries in mine.  Works great and lasts a heck of a lot longer with a 6ah on it. 

Here in Indy, 100% was pretty cool

From $13-$15k for a premium example to $50-$60k for a premium example of 500 hp is a pretty large jump…  

Id say that’s not exactly “just a bit more”.  

I’m not a BMW guy at all but the 1/2/3 series all look pretty badass.

Mine was 32k 5 years ago.  You can find some for under 20k. $500 for a tune, $300 for a downpipe

Pretty easy to find FBO kits for N54 from the cursory google search.  $10k for the car plus $3k for a kit installed for 500+ HP  is a decent deal.

Spend just a bit more for a B58. More reliable and easy to make big power too. I have just a downpipe and tune for 420hp to the wheels.  My BIL is running E40 on his and is much quicker than mine. 

90k miles, 50k been tuned and have not done one single repair

17 days and they are in good health? That's surprising.

The bored a pipe through to them early on for food, water and medicine 

They should have video taped it and put it on the internet so it's not illegal.  Fucked up laws where prostitution among consenting adults in private is illegal, but paying a woman to have sex with you for a porn shoot is ok

Met my wife there in 2005 on spring break.  It was sketchy then a far a safety and just kept going down hill.  Back then they had some of the best clubs in the world and they were crazy for spring break!

Did you guys go ashore?  We love St Martin, but heard much of the island hasn’t rebuilt after that big hurricane a few yrs ago, due to a lot of local corruption.  It’s a shame cuz it’s such a beautiful place.

No, just a snorkeling excursion that circled the whole island and had 4 stops

Just got back from a cruise that stopped in St. Martin.  Tour guide showed us a house that Trump owns. Bought it for 11M, trying to sell it for 18M. Rents it out for 10k a night with a 10 night minimum 

He should get 30 years just for being a Scientologist, fucking moronic cult

whoever thought putting the rotor behind the wheel bearing is a good idea should be hit with a 2x4

Changing the starter on the 2.9 is a 5 hour book job! Fucking morons.

not gonna argue that colorado is a piece of shit, but they do work , and many loved them. do you know they made them with a 5.3? not many but they are out there

Yeah, they are hard to find though.  The 3.7 is a good motor.  My Colorado has the 2.9 and it's the most gutless POS and gets 7 mpg worse mileage than my car that has 4x the hp

have to do front brakes yet?

Done a year ago before I bought it.  Had a 07 Canyon before it, but never did the brakes.  I don't keep them long enough to do brakes.  For me, they are consumables 

My dad is a dealer and I get trucks like this at wholesale. Drive them for a year or so, then sell them for a profit and move on to the next one.  Started about 6 years ago with a $900 ranger, 5 trucks later in at the 2012 Colorado. Looking at a Frontier next

This is why I have a 2012 Colorado. I have a side business doing exterior cleaning and I need to lift stuff in and out of the bed.  These newer small trucks are even way too tall. Colorado is a piece of shit, but I'll deal with that over having to lift my stuff another foot higher

You gotta pump those numbers up. I'm getting 19.7!

Burn those dead dinosaurs...!

My daily drive is 50 miles of highway everyday, that keeps my numbers high.  Around town and playing I'm probably in the teens 

You're averaging almost exactly what our X7 is

My car does under 4 seconds and I average 27 mpg. Last long road trip I averages 36 mpg with the cruise set at 80. 

I also only paid 32k for it 5 years ago.  340 BMW for the win 

420ish to the wheels and awd. Best car I've ever owned. 85,000 miles and only tires, brakes and oil changes. Been turned up since about 45k miles

Yes they have many downsides still, but what dumb fuck pays $115k for an electric truck if they take 1400 mile road trips, go off-grid camping and have a lake house with no charger???

So your saying if I had money in there for 30 years I would of made 7.9% on my money.... sounds like I don't need any insurance then.  High cd rates are great but with the inflation is not making us any money.  But that's what the goverment wants.  Don't save money go to work and pay your taxes.

You realize that's 7.9% each year right? $50k untouched for 30 years gets you almost $500k

I trade some individual stocks and have some like Apple, Disney, Ford, Boeing that I'm holding for the long run.  Others I've bought and sold for quick profits (sometimes gamble and lose). The majority of my investments are in these 3 funds. 1/2 my money is in VTI, then a good amount in the other two.  

I'd ust stick it in a 18 month CD at 5% and see what happens after that time.  That will make you a guaranteed $3800, then decide what to do with your $53800. 

If you're playing the long game, an index fund like VTI or VOO isn't a bad idea.  If you want to dabble in real estate, you could buy into a REIT. I bought up some VNQ a couple months ago when it was just below $80 a share.  It follows real estate markets and pays a strong dividend.

Cold, fresh water fan I am.

Not much wants to eat you.

Blue gills will bite! Scares the crap out of you when you're just peacefully floating having a cocktail.  A couple years ago one bit my nipple and didn't let go for the longest 2 seconds ever!
