1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

...but they'll have super nice cars, always have the latest fashionable clothes and shoes, shopping at high end organic grocery stores, etc. It has a lot to do with priorities that I think a lot of millennials are screwed up on. But it is true as well that we live in a tougher economy than our parents did growing up.

 

College Fund. Lol. I’m set for all four years. Even some graduate school if I decide to pursue a Masters or Doctorate.

 

I've started putting more away so I can buy some land soon though. It's not even a rainy day fund, it's a you sped it on land or a place to live or to spring yourself from county jail fund haha

 

Right on! I'm payed off now but still I think that was tough for everyone involved haha, can't imagine how parents with more than one kid manage to help with that nightmare.

 

haha yeah that's a good idea, that'll be a solid asset to have that could set you up really well in the future. Land/real estate is typically a great way to invest money.

 

Luckily it’s just me, and I decided to go to a state school so it’s cheaper than a UC or private school.

My college tuition is actually cheaper than my private high school’s tuition.

 

Since this is more of a question related to my cruiser, did those cats have measurements and everything or were they bolt in? I need to get two of their mini high flow cats for my cruiser (which doesn't check if they're working anyway)

 

Yeah i had some money saved up for school, enough to pay for trade school and the rest i gave to my sister for when she goes to college

 

They were for my make/model Tacoma specifically, for them to be CARB legal they had to be. They do have several non-CARB cat options though that are more universal for other vehicles I believe, and much cheaper since they don't have to meet CA requirements.

 

Didn’t you get magmaflows?

 

yup, best aftermarket CA compliant option outside of OEM cats.

 

Yeah ik they made carb ones, there is a few options.
@Speedytech7 does AZ follow carb?

 

@Speedytech7

Speaking of land. One day I’d like to buy property in a neighboring state with less anal automotive regulations so I can register my vehicles there. Much easier than getting around the California bullshit.

 

No (but both my trucks are registered in WA), and my cruiser is pre OBDII so it doesn't have to meet much as far as emissions is concerned anyway, it doesn't even have a sensor to monitor the cats. But it uses two cats in parallel. I just don't want it to smell like a tractor. Here are the ones I'm thinking of using.

Anywhere is AZ is cheap because the desert land is mostly unusable, and only Maricopa county tests emissions (not very strict anyway)

 

@Flowmaster Exhaust is a vender here maybe they would have some input

 

How much are we talking about?

 

I don't know, I bet you could pick up an acre or two for 100k or under in Pinal County (which is still close to civilization)

 

Land in norcal is cheap because its all unusable

 

Yeah but then I’m still subject to California’s automotive laws. Lol.
