    What's wrong with this truck?

    I stumbled on this truck today. 2020 F250 Lariat. It looks like it was a fleet vehicle but how many fleet trucks are Lariat? It was probably the boss's truck. It's about ~$8000 less than the next comparable vehicle. I checked the VIN on Carvana and they offered 48,800 for it. It seems...

    Chewy Pet Store really outdid themselves...

    I have a friend that orders all of her pet supplies from Chewy. She has monthly subscriptions for food, treats, etc. Unfortunately her dog passed away last week and she cancelled those subscriptions. Chewy sent her a dozen roses. A company sending out a kind gesture in this day and age...

    Has anyone built a dog stair lift platform/garage lift or something of that nature?

    My 12 year old lab mix (~80 lbs) has pretty bad arthritis. He's on a handful of medication for it but it's not enough at this point. Stairs are becoming an issue. He has stumbled the last couple of times and it is just unsafe at this point. It's only a matter of time before he tumbles and...

    Carvana Update - Sold my truck

    This is an update on my Carvana experience. I originally received an offer of $29,200 for my 2013 GMC SLT 1500 which I thought was really high. I didn't think much of it and let it be. I checked in 4-5 days later and I got an offer for $30,700 which is crazy. I made an account and took the...

    Selling to Carvana/Carmax and the best DD for <$10k.

    I'm looking to get out of my truck: 2013 GMC SLT with 35k miles. It has basic options for a SLT - no navigation or rear camera. I have been looking at other trucks but I think I would rather take the equity out of it and get a cheaper DD for now. That being said, I decided to check Carmax and...

    Buying a business you have no previous connection with...

    Hey guys, As the title states: Does anyone have any experience with buying a business that you had no previous connection with in the sense that you're not tied to it by family, you haven't worked there before, etc. You are basically going in "blind" if you will. To take it one step further...

    House for sale with two shops - renting them out?

    I found a pretty interesting house for sale. It's an old (updated) farm house that has a detached 3 stall garage and two shops on 3 acres. The three stall garage by the house has plenty of room for me (truck, snowmobiles, lawnmower) for now. I might put some stuff in one of the bays but it...

    My doctor is retiring.

    Man. I received a letter from my psychiatrist a week or so ago. I figured it was a bill because we had to meet over the phone but it ended up being a long letter about his forthcoming retirement. He is at the retirement age so it isn't that surprising but it is really unfortunate. I've seen...

    Switching out my '13 GMC 1500 for something else...

    I am looking to get rid of my '13 GMC 1500 SLT Crew Cab. It only has 34k miles on it and is in really good shape. It could use a good detail and it would basically be brand new. I am looking to get out of it for a few reasons but mainly because it is not comfortable. The seat doesn't work...

    Hey guys, This summer semester presents a very unique opportunity for taking college courses in that all universities are offering online courses. We are not talking generic 101 courses either - all junior and senior courses will be online. It really is a once in a lifetime chance to knock...

    Life insurance with no family

    Hey guys, I've been thinking about getting life insurance even though I don't have any real commitments financially and I don't have a family to take care of. I've been thinking about it for 5+ years now but I have never pulled the trigger on it. I'm 34 with a low end job/little to no...

    Dumb question: How do I keep my vehicle from rusting out...

    Wow, this ended up being long. I live in Michigan which means I have to deal with some serious salt. We get consistent snow fall all winter so it is everywhere - the roads are coated white from salt all winter. The problem I have having is that my vehicle is going to rust out before I get...

    Living on low income - accepting the "poor" life.

    This is sort of an extension of the mustang cost over the last few days: pay, lifestyle, future, etc. I have been thinking about this for years now and I just don't see it. I'm not sure where I'm going with this thread. I'm looking at how people live on low income and accept doing it. It's a...

    2005 6.0L Powerstroke Turbo failure 80k miles

    A friend of the family is selling his 2005 F350 6.0L with 80k miles. The thing is absolutely spotless and took good care of it. It has some sort of chip in it. Other than that, I think it is completely stock. He's an older guy that used it to tow his fifth wheel trailer all around the...
