I paid 415k for a new 2 bedroom, 1230sqft house. But it's a bungalow, so a lot more concrete to the foundation than a 2 storey.

My parents are looking to move into a bungalow because they're getting old and tired of climbing stairs. A new 1500sqft bungalow on a slightly bigger than average lot is now 540k, all in They built their 1750sqft house 23 years ago for 175k. My, how times have changed here

me too, man...
every time I get a good 20 minutes in and all the juices are flowing and tires warmed up...I'm like, I can't sell this thing.
And now with the Wagon as my daily...the S2000 is so polarizing in comparison since it gives such a different driving experience.

nothing major, just getting a divorce, but I won't be letting go of the cars...that was stipulated in the divorce agreement.

Are those figures in monopoly money or USD?

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that man. Never a good time for people. Hopefully it's amicable especially with the kiddo involved.

Seems like a lot of people I know are going through that recently...something must be in the water.

Nice dude! Keep up working on yourself. You're still young but you should definitely sell both cars and buy a RDX or ILX to pick up chicks. A station wagon and a ripoff Miata simply won't do that.

CAN!! But currency has little to do with it. It's supply vs demand. Edmonton is cheap compared to several other Canadian cities... Mostly because we are in the middle of buttfuck nowhere.

Take a look at the crack shack looking homes in Vancouver or Toronto, that are near falling apart and need a shit ton of money dropped into them... They're still going for a million bucks, just because of location. It's retarded.

I may not have a Vagon, but the S4 gives me the same experience

My mom's house was purchased in 2004 for about $215k.

Today zillow estimates it at just a hair under $1mill.

That's why I want to move. She did remodel the kitchen and restrooms, but still.

Sorry to hear, J. You're on the right path, focusing on yourself. As long as you are improving yourself and letting things happen naturally, you will adjust to your new normal and be happy, no matter which path that takes you on.

Thanks boys...
Yeah, I feel like I went down a bad path with the break up with a serious ex 13 years ago and knew to skip that part this time around. Seems to have paid off thus far!

I really do feel like y'all are family...

It was with my phone! Set at 6mp too...but with the white balance adjust, you can do some decent work with it!

Nice, I'd love a place like that. Unfortunately property values are through the roof anywhere close to the city around here so it's kinda sucky.

Fixed but I was talking about the Saturn SL2 in the back there.

(FWIW, the red CLS in the background is pretty sick too)
