Hope everyone had a good weekend.
I've started getting things ready to move into the house and it's making me realize just how much damn lego I've got in this apt.

I drove back from work on Saturday and then it sat outside all day yesterday while I took parts off of the TL
It's still in the garage today too since brought the TL to have more stuff removed by a coworker.
Sorry to hear that it's gone Have you decided what's replacing it?
Also, I'm supposedly buying a set of stockies today. If the seller backs out, I'll want yours. I'll keep you updated.
Good to know! Thanks JB! I would love to see your beautiful house sometime!
Shit, we've been in our house since March and have yet to have a party
We certainly want to but there are things at the house that we want to address first before showing it off.

Don't sweat it... our driveway is almost a 1/4 mile long back to front (not counting all of the turnarounds) and it's all gravel. Porsche was lowered and never had an issue... so I'm sure you'll be fine. There's little to no ROI on paving your driveway anyway... so put the money elsewhere

I'm pretty deadset on a 4runner at this point. I think its the best investment and ill get the most out of it and be able to drive it to 300k miles. I'd love to get a 4 door jeep wrangler but its way out of the budget.
Just let me know if something happens with the sale they're looking for a new home and my dads getting angsty about them taking up garage space. Do you mind saying how much you're paying for the set you inted to get? I have no idea how to price them

I sold my set of stock wheels a week or two ago for $150 , didn't even really care about making money, just wanted something and to have them out.
Instructor
Lol yeah I'm getting excited just looking up mods and stuff to do to it and I'm getting some pretty good ideas
Good to know I think I'm gunna try to get a little more than that since the tires on them are pretty new and they still have the tpms sensors in them.

Bryan nice wheels.
Stephen, it will be cool to see/hear your TL drive by the house all the time.
Alex, it's between carmel and elm ln. I need a hand with the couch and the bitch ass dresser. And thanks for the comments man. We are really excited about not living in this messy apartment anymore. Hopefully the house won't be as cluttered.

I feel a MT, single turbo, and big wang coming on.
I really like them. Keeping them silver? Please say yes!

Tommy, I bought a set of stockies for $150, but they are pretty rough. Tires are completely shot. With having TPMS sensors, I would ask $400 and be willing to take $300-350.
IS looks fantastic as always, Eric

$300-350 sounds fair. Mine were sold without TPMS, Center Caps, or tires for $150. Tires are still for sale, no idea what to do with a mixed set of tires.

Soo... how about them A-Specs ^.^. You selling them Tyler?
Instructor
Honestly its just a universal roofrack off ebay that I mounted the Thule fairing on. I would sell you the snowboard attachment i used but its my dads lol so sorry. It does the same job as the $500 thule racks for a fraction of the price which is what I needed since I'm a broke college kid. It has 3 sets of mouting braces so it will fit on different cars and I think I have some extra fairing arms somewhere because they're prone to breaking (only cost like $3 online). I'll snap some pics when I go home this weekend and send them too you if you want to shoot me a text my number is 704-881-3000.

Eric, you're supposed to look around for cops before you do something like that.
Congrats on the house, though. We expect pics . And beware...now that you have more space, you'll more than likely fill it. Think how much stuff you had when you moved into the apartment; now look at it. The same thing can happen with the house.

As for the house, I am sure we will try to fill it up but hopefully we can stop it from becoming cluttered like the apartment. This place is filthy and full of a bunch of shit. Atleast all of the LEGO will be confined to rooms that have doors and once they are closed you won't be able to see them.

Oh and earlier that day Dorthy showed me a video of a jeep driving on a sidewalk so that didn't help my decision one bit lol.
Instructor
I've also been tossing the idea around of a 4dr Jeep Wrangler, I've found a couple for sale that are in my budget, all 4x4 and manual with decent mileage (80k ish) .. Just have to talk my dad into the idea of buying a manual car again.. He's the hardest person to talk to about cars so it will be an interesting converstion.
