New England B.S. Thread

I want to move to Montana . Because I don't like people. But not in a million years would my wife move from MA. Hell even getting her to move from Arlington to Hopkinton was difficult enough. To her Hopkinton is the "woods/ country".

 

As for snowblowers, finding one that doesn't run is the way to go IMO if you're cheap like me and relatively handy. Give it a few pull starts, if the engine spins and doesn't make any weird noises it's likely the carb. Hop on fleabay and $40-50 later a brandy new chi-com knockoff carb shows up at your door and you're in business.

When we bought our house in Hopkinton in 2011 we bought my father in law a top of the line Ariens snow blower for letting us crash at their house basically for free for ~ a year to save for our house. Heated grips, auto-unlocking diff to make turning super easy, electric start, led headlight etc... It was ~2k all said and done. But i'm cheap and picked ours up for short money not running, threw the afore-mentioned chi-com fleabay carb at it and bam, good to go. His unit is definitly nice, quieter, far easier to maneuver etc.. But honestly i never found myself needing handwarmers etc...I always get hot using mine cause you still have to muscle it some with the axle locked and it's commercial chassis so it weighs a ton.

 

I know my favorite BBQ, I gotta ask yours

My friends says: 95 is the city highway, 495 is the rural highway.

Noise is the only thing I give a rip about. I don't want to have a monster truck running at 2AM. I'd probably want driven wheels, that's about it. Wrastling those things can be a pain. And for a 3 car drive + frontage, meh.

(Yes, I am that weird ass hat who likes to clear out the snow from the road in front of their house too up to the kerbs)

It was easier with the mazda. Do the 2 long section, move the wifes car, and then do her side. But now with the truck not fitting in the garage it can get complicated. Doing it in sections and whatnot.

oof. Fair, fair enough. As long as you aren't justifying waiting in line for 5 hours for some BBQ

 

there wasn't a wait when we went, that was a couple years ago though

 

Figure I can post this since it’s the BS thread...Fb marketplace. 85 Bronco. Mint. They were asking $85,000. Not a typo. Listing is gone but here’s a screenshot

 

$85K for a bronco is straight crack pipe short bus special Olympics dumb, even it is in mint condition.

 

plus it's not even cute

 

Well... I supposed you can ask for whatever you want. I have a feeling the gap between expectation and reality is rather large though...

 

I'm going to say even if it were cute or 'totes adorb', it's still a $20k vehicle at best.

 

I was talking about Franklin.

You and @Black Bean Taco might enjoy this too.

22K for a 2002, 175k miles. I can get into a 4wd 4 banger new for around 28, maybe close to 27. zero miles. 2 years maintenance. they're smoking something on that one.

 

Esp. with a mid 80's ,no HP smogger 302.

 

People want insane money for trucks nowadays. I read a few months ago a full-size half ton on the used market went up a few THOUSAND in average price since March

 

As of 2:45 PM...was Still coming down at 5

 

I think franklin burned down or something

 

I blame Bring a Trailer for some of those outlandish price points.

I was shocked to see how many sold in the $25-35,000 range.

 

Anyone know a landscaping company that will do lawn mowing leaf clean up and snow clearing in Needham MA?

 

Commercial or residential? If commercial, I know some companies that would take on commercial properties, can’t help with residential.

 

residential.
