    What's wrong with this truck?

    That would explain it. These vehicles must have insurance on them. Why wouldn't they get fixed? Is a Carfax report with hail damage that bad? It shouldn't be a big deal if it was fixed properly and an insurance repair should be decent? Still an interesting truck but I'm glad that someone...

    What's wrong with this truck?

    Carfax is clean. It has the 10 speed in it. The rental thing is strange but it says fleet on the carfax toward the bottom. Either way, drive the thing and get rid of it with 90-100k miles. You get to drive a $70k truck for about $7500 plus maintenance. Heck of a deal if it checks out.

    What's wrong with this truck?

    I stumbled on this truck today. 2020 F250 Lariat. It looks like it was a fleet vehicle but how many fleet trucks are Lariat? It was probably the boss's truck. It's about ~$8000 less than the next comparable vehicle. I checked the VIN on Carvana and they offered 48,800 for it. It seems...

    Chewy Pet Store really outdid themselves...

    I have a friend that orders all of her pet supplies from Chewy. She has monthly subscriptions for food, treats, etc. Unfortunately her dog passed away last week and she cancelled those subscriptions. Chewy sent her a dozen roses. A company sending out a kind gesture in this day and age...

    Enclosed Trailer - Motorcycles - Need Advice

    Dual axle with trailer brakes for sure - stability, safety, etc. Will help on resale value too. 7' ceilings because ducking in it every time sucks especially with boots/helmet making you a little taller. Who has ever said they wish they had a smaller trailer? I'd get 14' or 16'. It would...

    Yamaha Dropping Sleds

    The only thing they ever had going for them were their engines. Yamaha's chassis/suspension were god awful for so many years. They were the first to go full four stroke and it never really panned out. The others continued to upgrade their two stroke models and they are light years ahead now...

    It was nice knowing you Carvana

    I have had two great experiences selling vehicles to them. My truck was absolutely mint so whoever bought it (at a premium) got an excellent vehicle. The Equinox had ~75k on it. Paying a premium for something with 75k on it is hard to justify. We bought it new and kept up on all maintenance...

    Riding Mowers

    50" Deck is a wonky number for a machine. Homeowner machines tend to have "off" numbers which I never understood. Perhaps someone can enlighten me. Parents have a 50" Toro with a 24hp and the suspension platform. It must be almost identical to the Cub Cadet. It is a great machine and I...

    Riding Mowers

    Zero turn. People with tractors need to get with the program. Granted, those AWS ones do look nifty. You'll leave plenty of marks on your yard while you get used to it. It comes with the territory. It's going to be tough on new sod but it's manageable. Keep it straight and do 3-4 point...

    Things you haven’t yet learned as an adult yet.

    I thought about bringing this up to my doc. I am certain that he would not fill out the information. I'm sure he would not sign off on it and would send me to someone else.It goes against almost all modern medicine ethics, code of practice, whatever you want to call it. I think it will be...

    2023 F-150 Rattler Engine of Choice???

    Easy, 3.5. It's been around for ages. Much better torque curve for towing. Sell it at 75-100k for maximum value.

    Advice with credit cards, and which ones?

    I've had my chase card for a good 15 years with absolutely no complaints. I charge everything to it and pay it off completely every month. There has been an exception or two with large purchases but always the following month. I started with a $500 balance due to no income (college student)...

    Has anyone built a dog stair lift platform/garage lift or something of that nature?

    Thanks for the replies. I built a ramp going out the garage door so he would avoid those three steps every time. It took a few tries but he goes up and down it without issue now. My engineering skills were tested a bit more than I liked with such a simple project so the lift is off. I...

    Suggestions for a good work pickup

    I just did a quick search and a new GM 4wd W/T is 35k. That would give you 100k miles for $15k compared to buying a used truck which is a great deal. You might as well enjoy the first 100k rather than dealing with the last 100k. Edit: Scratch that. Didn't see the leather. That really...

    Has anyone built a dog stair lift platform/garage lift or something of that nature?

    My 12 year old lab mix (~80 lbs) has pretty bad arthritis. He's on a handful of medication for it but it's not enough at this point. Stairs are becoming an issue. He has stumbled the last couple of times and it is just unsafe at this point. It's only a matter of time before he tumbles and...

    Anyone ever do a Yellowstone snowmobile trip?

    It's on my bucket list. It's supposed to be the pinnacle of snowmobiling but I haven't made it yet. I've been in Michigan my whole life so it's been nothing but flat land riding for me. Still, 70mph on 8' wide trails with trees on both sides gets the blood pumping. You're in for a real treat...

    It's Basically Perfect | 4,700-Mile 1996 Ford F-350 XLT 4×4 5-Speed on BaT

    Aren't you paying for everything being pristine except for the motor in a sense. Put the 460 in the barn and convert it to a diesel? They make kits to swap in a 12v/24v Cummins. Best of both worlds!

    15 F150 Long Term Decision

    Carvana is giving insane offers for trucks now. It's worth checking it out and then seeing what a new one would run. You might be able to get into a new truck at a fairly "reasonable" price.
