New England B.S. Thread

Still a win, rates went up from there, and prices have continued to go up.

Timing was all luck. Even a couple weeks in either direction and we'd probably be >3%.
We only refi'd because that was worth doing to drop PMI. If we didn't have PMI back in '17 we'd probably have just left it.

My home network is about the same, I do want to set up a Plex server or similar for watching things from.
I do have a second monitor at home because I work from home time to time. Worth it.

I have no idea how old our printer is but it's an OLD HP and it works off the network somehow.

 

I never had PMI. I also bought in 2017 and didn't put 20% down, but the lender I used didn't require it. I mostly refinanced because it allowed me to drop 9 years off the mortgage with only adding around $200/month

 

I have officially joined the dark side, while maintaining having two 2nd gen Tacomas (one for parts) and a Tundra, and a 1st gen 4runner in the driveway (to maintain my non-darkside card). Traded in the Corolla hatch to get back into a truck.

Hey at least your not turning into one of them ford guys that creep on here.

 

That.
Frame.

 

I know right? At least I keep it in the family.... wait...

Its quite clean, has some surface rust in spots, but was owned 2 towns over in Chicopee and maintained by Lia Toyota of Wilbraham

 

I can't believe that's a local truck...I'd have expected southwest

 

Yessir, it has some surface rust up front on it

 

If I had to buy a 3rd gen, that would be the truck (other than trying to find a 6 speed manual)! Nice find!

 

Thanks! I've gotten a bit tired of driving stick, but the 4runner is a 5spd so I can always rip that around when I want some manual action

 

Oh good, a truck I can pillage panels from when I raisin mine

 

Haha yes

 

I do get it; if I had a long commute with lots of traffic, I would get tired of a manual as well.

 

My current commute isn't too bad for driving stick but some days after standing and walking all day you don't really want to shift gears all the way home lol

 

I didn't mind traffic with a manual. I put it in 2nd and coasted while the cars in front of me constantly accelerated and braked every 50 feet.

 

Anyone get an prime days deals? I just ordered a dash cam at over 30% off. Today is the last day

 

I bought the Supernatural TV series on Blu-ray for my daughter's birthday. 54% off.

If anyone needs a power station, now be the time. These are great deals.

Ordered some commuter and road bike stuff, I don't think much was Prime Day related, might have been though. Switching over to SPD pedals on the road bike and adding them to my commuter bike, plus new road shoes - after 10 years in my old pair.

 

Happy 7/11 to those who celebrate. Get yourself a free Slurpee
