Here is what 22 years in car sales has taught me about credit and FICO scores. A lender will look at many things to decide if they will give you a loan--your debt to income ratio, percent of credit available, and more. Once they decide they will offer you a loan, the rate you are given is then...

I also have Comcast Infinity internet, and I also got tired of paying for a (crappy) modem rental... so a few years ago, I did some research to find something better. After reading a number of reviews on cnet (a good site for this type of research), I learned about the then-new dual band ASUS...

Oh, well that's a small difference. LOL For anyone else following along who may be curious, Wal-Mart's all time high intraday stock price was $128.08 on March 18th. Since that time, the lowest it has dropped intraday was to $106.85 just two days ago (on March 26th). That represents a...

Forgive me for being skeptical, but this sounds completely impossible. So much so, that I just hit up E-Trade to see for myself. They currently report WMT's 52-week low closing price at $96.53 and that was back in April 2019. Over the last month, the lowest intraday price reported was $102.00...

Since I drove my EV, I parked at the free public charger on the north border of Pioneer Park. From there, it was a short walk through the park and across the street to get to the brewery. While walking through the park, a homeless guy saw me on my phone... so he stopped me, pointed to what...

I'm glad I made it--the place was nice! I had a great time. Thanks, Cody! Finding the dead body in the park was just a surprise bonus.

Not if it's raining (which looks likely according to the current forecast). For that reason, I'll probably just drive the boring Leaf. (On the plus side, I'll try to park it at one of the free public charging spots at Pioneer Park. If both of those are taken, I'll end up in Bewilder's lot.)

Hmm. I usually work until 7pm, and then there would be the drive up there... so it doesn't look good for me. But maybe I can make it happen. I put it on my calendar so I won't forget.

Thank you for posting this. Yes, I've seen Richard on a variety of Engine Masters/etc videos. I should have known he'd have his own YT channel (who doesn't have one these days?) but I never thought to check. I'll be watching some of these videos later tonight.

Over the last few weeks, I had been thinking about my Roth account. When I initially opened it, I dumped $2500 (each) into two different funds. I thought I had chosen two index funds, but I later realized one of them was actually a no-load mutual fund. The mutual fund pays out a significantly...

Which raises the question, how cool does your power steering fluid need to be, anyway? Side note: when I installed the 4L80E in my Grand Prix, I decided I wanted (a) a very large fluid cooler that (b) was not located in a radiator end tank. I bought the largest Hayden stacked plate cooler they...

I, too, will vote for not running your PS fluid through the radiator's in-tank cooler, for the same reason. Good news: based on what I've seen on various OEM vehicles, a PS cooler can be very, very small. You could either go to AutoZone/O'Reilly/etc and buy the smallest generic trans fluid...

Well, Zillow puts the current value at $305,000. However, I know to take that estimate with a grain of salt. Hence the number I entered above.

2018 was the year of me getting over my divorce--returning to happiness with myself, the way things are, etc. I don't want to entirely rule out another relationship, but it is much more difficult the second time around. Once bitten, twice shy, as they say. 2019 was the year when my future...

Here is the extended "director's cut" version, which is even better.

I bought my current TJ in October 2010, so just over 9 years.

I just happened upon this quote today, and it made me think of this thread: "Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves.” -- Peter Lynch Best of luck to everyone who has participated in...

I would urge you to be extremely cautious, assuming you don't re-think this entire strategy all together. There is an ever-growing number of suckers investors who decided to use Robin Hood and begin day trading like a pro (because it's so easy, doncha know) only to lose tens of thousands of...

Wow--have I really missed posting in this thread? Gee. Over the last 6 or 7 years, I've fallen in love with Running Wild. They began releasing albums in the mid '80s, and were initially just another run-of-the-mill German death metal band (which didn't appeal to me much at all). But their...
