New house in Doylestown!

Only in Doylestown Borough will you find a house that’s on such a small lot that they had to build it with a 1-car garage...



But still big enough that it needs two central air-conditioners!

 

New bumper magnet...

Started life as a sticker from work, but I obtained a leftover magnetic sheet from a local sign maker and converted two
into magnets!

 

Parked outside Five Guys in Warminster waiting for a DoorDash order...

The 1-car garage is the reason I wouldn't buy that house...

I've decided that my first place is more than likely going to be a 2-bedroom condo; A 2-bedroom condo with central A/C and a full kitchen generally goes for around $200K in this area. I would need at least $40K for a down payment, and I know I can have that before I turn 35.

 

My house needs to have at least 2 1/2 car garage

 

My parents' house is touted as having a 2-car garage but with my dad's GMC Yukon, even parked off to the side, ain't no way in hell you'd even get a Smart Car in there and still be able to open the doors on either vehicle!

My dad drives a 2018 GMC Yukon SLT 4WD, my mom drives a 2013 Nissan Murano SV AWD, and I drive the 2010 Tacoma. All three have been in our garage, and each one takes up most of the garage!

My friend's parents' house was built in 1961 and has a 1-car garage. I cannot imagine any 1960s Detroit land yacht fitting in there!

My dad wants to put Flowmaster exhaust on his Yukon!

 

They have different grades of Flowmasters, I think I started with 50 Series on my car and they were almost as quiet as stock, and finally ended up with 40 Series which are nice and throaty but not too loud.

 

I hate those garages that have a single door that is wide and they call them 1 1/2.

 

My dad's Yukon sounds pretty mean with the stock exhaust!

 

Next time around I was thinking about Spintech's.

 

Black Widow Mufflers sound pretty sweet too.

 

Would there be any point in putting an upgraded exhaust on my truck? Nobody seems to make exhaust systems for the 2.7L Taco...

 

You could always add an aftermarket muffler, but I would not expect it to have any kind of deep throaty sound.

 

I would love to put a Tundra 5.7L in my truck...

 

That would be a beast! One morning many years ago I ran into a guy that was on his way to Columbus for some kind of Hot Rod Show, he had an old Toyota Corona with a Lexus V8 and Ford 9" out back!

 

But with a 5.7L I could kiss anything even remotely resembling decent gas mileage goodbye. I currently get about 18 MPG overall.

 

Yeah the V8 would kill MPG's! That sounds low for your truck, I get better than that in mine.

 

17-18 around town, 20-25 on the highway...

I am a prolific A/C user with a lead foot who rarely goes on the highway!
