I’ve been absent a bit.. will take me a while to catch up in here.

got rid of my challenger and odyssey…. now I have no choice but to dust off the 01 Z28 and rebuild the transmission (it’s been hanging out in the garage for a few years now sadly).

picked up this pig for daily driving

Thanks... we love the thing. Makes all of the right noises and drinks the right fuel. Bonkers that you can stand on the pedal on wet roads and it just grips. Not the fastest thing on the road by any means but it does turn heads.

Chassis is the MB X164 I believe for Durango's? I know the Grand Cherokee's are the W164 from the Daimler merger. Anyway, both are great chassis.

I don’t know much about the chassis…. It rides really nice and handles shockingly well given the weight. They did a good thing here 😂

Just did some reading to confirm - X164 from the Daimler merger. Most of the keyless entry, push start, and of course suspension setup is all MB. An older brother to the X166 my wife has.

appreciate it. Growing up poor I never dreamed of owning anything like this.. just unlocked launch control recently and still figuring out all of quirks. In track modes it’s 70% rear, 30% front and just eats. Nice 2nd gear bark from the tires and 100 comes up quick. I think my Z28 will pull it from a roll but no prayer from a dead stop. 1.1G on launch according to the srt pages, it’s stupid and I love it

Morning fellas. Hoose with the nice garage didnt work out. Asking price was $330k and it ended up selling for $385k which was a hair more than we wanted to pay, so I was out on the bidding war. I think we just decided were going to wait till building materials start coming back down and build exactly what we want. On the hunt for a 2-5 acre lot now.

thats houses everywhere it seems. My neighboneighborhood here in Central Texas houses are selling for 50-80k more than they did a year ago. We have thought of selling because we want some land but know we will have to over pay for something.

The inflated values did allow us to refi at just shy of 1.5% lower in interest and lower our house payment by $400 a month while taking some cash out for debt payment and home improvements. So i'll take it. Were still on the hook for way less than we owe on it. Even if the bubble pops.

I probably should have cashed out more since we're all going to be financially boned in the next few years anyways.

Not really. It's not nearly what people try to make it out to be. 1Q 2021 investors accounted for 1 in 7 purchases, the previous 3 quarters investor purchases had been declining. In the cities most affected by investors they still only make up about 22% of the market. So to your point, no, individuals are the primary driver behind the housing insanity.

Individuals are forced to over pay based on investors. Home ownership is trending down, rentals trending up. The situation is real whether you want to admit it or not.

It's trending in that direction due to more rentals being built than houses and a shortage of inventory. When 86% of the buyers are individuals, its individuals driving the prices up. Not the 14% of homes going to investors.

Can any of you snow dwelling fellas tell me approximately how much a running 1995 Arctic cat panther is worth?
