True. I'm dragging ass today. Watched breaking bad till 230. Damn I make bad decisions. I guess it's better than being hungover, which would be a worse decision.Originally Posted by Irving
That house I was at this morning probably needed you. We were looking for a roof leak and everything was tight and correctly installed. I just happened to look over the edge and saw a drain pipe just above the second story window. I asked if they had a humidifier and they did. I told them they needed to contact an HVAC guy.

After some basic calculations, I should be saving quite a bit of money with my car switch.
I project that the Xterra would cost me about $40,500 to own for the next 5 years (9,500 depreciation, 11400 gas, 15000 still owed in payments, 2500 insurance/registration, about about 2200 in tires and maintenance).
I project that the new car will cost me a maximum of $22,800 to own for the next 5 years (2,000 depreciation, 6600 gas, 4400 total purchase price+registration, 2200 insurance/registration, and an estimate of 5800 for tires and maintenance).
The Xterra numbers above are pretty accurate, but I priced everything for the new car pretty liberally. Depreciation, insurance, and registration will probably be a bit less than the numbers above, and I don't expect to dump $1000 every year on broken stuff... but even if I spend $2000 a year on unexpected maintenance, I'll still be about $13,000 ahead after 5 years. And all that is assuming that nothing would break on the Xterra and just about everything would break on the new car.

Test drove an '05 Odyssey today with 98k on it. They sold the one with 83k last week. Have an appointment to have it looked at by a mechanic on Monday.

Awesome. Lots of miles left in that.

1 owner or ?? Either way 98K isn't bad. try looking for an 08 or later. They have some upgrades the 05 doesn't. IIRC the transmission for one, adjustable passenger seats , etc

I actually would prefer to find an '05 with lower miles, like they just sold. I found it on a lot on Colfax. He wants almost twice what I want to pay, but I think I can get something done. He told me $11,900. I'm going to offer $7,000 cash and go from there.

All this car talk, meh...My new Taco averaged 23.8 mpg from Steamboat Springs to Ft. Fun today, via Walden and hwy 14 to home. Looking forward to some fuel savings over the BMW X5 with the V8!
Averaging 31mpg with the sentra so I cant complain, especially when I can fill the tank for $20 with 91 octane
