    A bit. I was already awake and by the time I even made it to the window to look they were long gone. The thought of shooting back is fun to entertain, but in the end would probably just put a target on my back, and they clearly have waaaaay more bullets.


    Part of me wonders if this is cartel shit, or just local dumbassery.

    It sounded like fully automatic rifles, but could also have been 6 guys shooting semi at the same time…

    or was it one guy with six guns?

    Yeah everything I'm finding is pointing towards alignment. Guess its time to fast track tie rod and lca bushing replacements and get aligned

    As someone that's been in the car business for over a decade, I find being on forums like this one fucking hilarious whenever a new vehicle model is released

    Everything from a CEL for an unplugged grill shutter to doors needing paint correction and more, tons of people complaining about the 4th Gen

    LCA bushings have brought the biggest driveability improvement out of all the front end stuff I've done to my truck. highly recommend whiteline

    if you haven't done poly rack bushings those tighten the steering up quite a bit too.

    Yep, think we repeat that line every other day here :rofl:

    If your LCA bushings are bad, you ain't holding alignment

    Oh no shit I read that pretty quickly, there was a shootout by your wife's house?

    I know you bought a place, and she bought a place, but have you guys ever talked about moving in together?

    Maybe even at your place or somewhere else while both of you rent your homes out?

    Yeah there was at her place. We’re definitely talking about moving in at some point, or out to somewhere else, this might accelerate those plans.


    As far as renting out goes, maybe.

    I was scared as hell about it at first; you can download and print up lots of different templates easily available online that would make it all legal to protect yourself (as well as the family/renter).

    Consider setting aside money each month for things you'd be obligated to cover, and worst case if nothing did break, you'd have that and their deposit if needed to bring the place back up to speed IE deep cleaning, paint, etc.

    I had replaced the water heater, sink, and flooring before renting mine out but made it aware that laundry had HOOK UPs and were not included. I bought some used ones and threw them in the laundry room anyway but if they failed, they're on their own for that one (written in the agreement as well).

    Yeah , it’s something I need to research. My house is solid, and I don’t think would give a lot of issues. More concerned about finding good renters.

    but seriously, wow. We have our fair share of hooliganism around there but it's mostly just high schoolers being dumbasses. If that ever happened I'd be packing up my family and moving pronto. I mean what if a stray or ricochet went through a window and struck a child or someone. Fuck. People suck.

    @Tour991 tonight's the night, round 1. I wish I could say I'm hopeful but I'm more guarded against hope than anything lol. Just glad we didn't end up facing Dallas in the first round. But like they say, if you're that worried about who you're facing in the playoffs then you're probably not gonna get very far anyway.
