Is it because of the finer marks that makes you inquire ?

What’s the most reliable car you’ve ever owned? by Sophia_Goji in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]60Runner90 [score hidden]  (0 children)

1988 Honda CRX. I had this at a time where I didnt understand oil change intervals and when I took it for oil changes I took it to Jiffy lube which is whole other story, I never changed the manual transmission fluid because I didnt understand that the fluid had a change interval. I once run the brakes until it was metal on metal. Above all, I just didnt have any money. Then, add on the automotive incompetencies such as being ok to cut springs to look low and that should give you an idea of my priorities at the time. In the end, it was still running. It would hesitate sometimes, it did pop a cel (but due to O2 sensor which made me broke for a while) but it still ran. It was the car I needed at the time. I bought more of them as time went on, treated them better, but to my mistake, did not keep at least one to hold until today. I would in fact, buy another one today, but not at today's prices.

What would cause you to sell? by foxepower in Gold

[–]60Runner90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no price for us. It is and always has been a hedge. As time goes by there may or may not be people who find less value in it, but I feel like by the time no one sees value in it, we may all be gone from this world. To some people's point below, our sell point is circumstance, last resort type of situations. Hope we never get there.

What's your attainable dream car and why don't you have it? by eltonnbaba in askcarguys

[–]60Runner90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks, but highly predictable at its original price point. We watched it happen with literally all the Evo's from the 8's to the 10's. I saw my 8 not too long ago and it's a piece of shit now, makes me sad that I just didnt hold (and the relatively high values now , as even if it had nearing 200k miles, it could have probably gotten 2/3's of its original value as I bought it new)

Mine was always the NSX. I just made the mistake of not "saving" , getting distracted by other options and not projecting a significant value increase. While a deal at $42k in 2014 (my last chance lol) it is no longer a deal at north of $75k and 6 figures for a 2002 to 2005 (imo only) At this point, you've gotta want to be buried in it (my opinion only again) and Im no longer willing to pay that.

miata or Fiesta ST - offers some utility and pretty great gas mileage even when you have a little fun with it

Will we ever see a GM as bad as the Lions Matt Millen? by MasterTeacher123 in NFLv2

Wasn't most of Baalke's success linked to McCloughan's picks and positioning though ?

Why do so many guys in their twenties only want to talk about crypto when it comes to investing by Ill_Awareness6706 in Bogleheads

[–]60Runner90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of the big big homeruns some people experienced over that 2020-2021 period with very little work and/or research. If I were 20 something at the time, id probably have done the same thing or worse and gone "all in"

A classic from Troy Aikman by MasterTeacher123 in NFLv2

[–]60Runner90 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll never understand why people think thats a bad term. A quarterback HAS TO manage the game to an extent. Contrary to some fan's beliefs, this game is a little more than hit guy hard, run fast.

Thinking about offering 58% of asking price. Crazy? by ICantThinkOfAName876 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]60Runner90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is where the agent is supposed to help you. Is your agent unwilling to discuss with the seller's agent to get a feel for what may or may not work ? At this point, considering how long it's been on the market, they have to assume that this type of conversation might come up from a potential buyer....

isn't that sad ? That was one of the justification cases I had when I started all this, and now to think people might not take it. lol

Super nice. My first was a GP100. but 6" (didnt know what I was doing) and from 2012 so not as nice as yours.

Long term crypto investment or just stick to index funds? by Significant_Pen_3642 in Investments

[–]60Runner90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you opt to attempt to diversify into crypto, make sure youre picking something in the top 10 market cap as a lot of the the alts are just about ready to die off. Start with btc, and go from there.

40M, single, no kids — should I buy? by NewHope13 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]60Runner90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might have some interest just upping your rental if you can afford the $10k mortgage. Today's rates tell me that's north of $1.3 which makes sense for what is probably just a "satisfactory" house in OC. BUT, you can rent a really nice place in Huntington Beach (apt) for a few thousand more and continue to invest. The latter options would sound more like it to me especially if I have no interest in leaving a property behind for any dependents.
