1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

And you know how much I hate that it's just sitting there

 

i slowly work on it. that truck is my "perfection" project. it'll get done when it gets done. Ive been saving cash up for the body work... thats going to be EXPENSIVE. I want NO RUST on the body... at all. its getting painted inside and out. and the floor pan where the tires took out the paint and caused a tiny rust hole to form is getting fixed....

 

Another reason why I'm getting a second car

 

When driving at night in lightning strikes

 

No. I live in a similar area and have similar income, and a third gen optioned out the way I want (access cab, SR5, 4x4, V6, 2016-2017) is gonna be around $28k once taxes and fees are applied. Thats a $500 a month payment, coupled with at least a $100/month insurance payment due to my age. Thats a quarter of your monthly income gone. You could do it, but youd be living off ramen noodles for the next 5 years if your trying to move out soon and dont have a better job or a big raise coming soon.

Before I bought my Acura, I sat down and figured out a monthly budget. I asked my friends who already moved out what their living expenses were like and wrote down the averages for rent, food, insurance, internet, water, etc. Then I was able to figure out how much I could spend on a car each month and still have a good chunk of change to throw into savings at the end of the month. Then I set my limit and went car shopping, and this happened.

 

Up for work again. 53 hours should be feasible today for the week

 

Yeah man. As much as I’d love the new truck it’s unreasonable. If I can find a Toyota pickup 2wd or 4wd or another 1st gen 2wd, Integra, or civic (all manual of course) I’d buy them because I could pay cash straight out. The only bills I have are a phone bill and insurance on my truck. Total is $141/month. I make a minimum of $500/week. Some weeks I make $650. Just been putting money up and waiting

 

Save as much as you can, while you can. Once you move out, rent becomes you're biggest monthly expense followed by living expenses. Don't know what rent is like in you're area but regardless it's several hundred a month at least I'm sure

If you buy a house your looking at a big down payment and then a mortgage (plus home maintenance). Of course that becomes an asset though but it still costs money

Save save save while you're monthly expenses are so minimal. My half of rent alone is $1050 a month not including insurance, phone, student loans, kid's expenses, food, gas etc. Stuff adds up quick. Always good to have money set aside for when times get tough

Your odometer triggered me... When I was a kid I had this thing where I'd always see the sequence 1234 everywhere, especially on clocks. Now it's back again

Also what's the cel for
