    Paying off debt

    As Dave Ramsey says, a credit score is just a score that shows how great you are at giving your money to other people. I’m slowly working on our finances, so we can have a much better life in our 30’s than what we experienced in our 20’s. It’s a tough concept to grasp, but totally worth it.

    Anyone has a Racing SIM set up?

    It’s fairly realistic. The ergonomics of the set up aren’t perfect, which is why I’m looking to upgrade to a actual pre-built rig. Also needing something a bit more rigid. But it’s better than using a computer chair and desk, IMO.

    Will we ever see another Lightning?

    Nothing will take place of a lightning IMO, but the 2014 Tremor is a great substitute. They are quick little trucks, especially tuned.

    Where do y’all find these jobs.... I don’t get squat. Actually, I shouldn’t say that. We get free fast food for lunch on Fridays, sometimes.

    GT500 Will Spoil Supra Launch

    As a lover of Supras and Mustangs, I’m really looking forward to the official reveals of the MKV Supra and new GT500. Although, I’m a bit disappointed in the projected specs the Supra will have, really expected it to have more performance for the price. I still think it looks really good. The...

    What's the point of marriage?

    Been with my girlfriend for about 9 years. Lived together for 8 years. So we’re basically married in my opinion. But she pressures me constantly about buying her a ring. To the point where I can’t save money to buy myself toys, unless I get her a ring first. I’m almost to the point to just buy a...

    Thank you everyone for the replies I’m going to search around and see what the best route would be to obtain a certificate, and then maybe work on trying to get certified in a particular CAD software. I do know I can’t wrench on cars anymore, thats for sure lol.

    State inspectors, need insight on motor swap

    In NC, the inspection machine will read the vin. At the beginning of the inspection process, you manually enter the vin. So if you scan a car with a different vin than what you entered in, the state may think you are “clean scanning” a car in order for it to pass, which is a big no no in NC. I’d...
