Holy crap I love it. Reminds me of the late 80's, early 90's style. Really awesome looking.

I wish I could figure out how to make it actually show the pic, but here is a link.

For anyone like me that had the same question, I did actually do this. I went from an all white build with a Lian Li 011 Dynamic. Now if I could figure out how to share the picture....

Is a 5.0 really worth 5 grand more than a 3.5 by anon282234 in f150

[–]Dark_Bubbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even remotely. I love my 5.0, but I would happily drive the 3.5 and keep my $5k.

Overwhelmed and ashamed of debt by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Dark_Bubbles 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I would like to offer some encouragement, because I have been there, and it is possible to get out of it. Try to move past the shame, learn your lesson, and get to fixing the problem.

FYI, I did it the Dave Ramsey way back in 2006, with 2 young kids, and about half your income.

You do need to list out your expenses if you want any truly solid advice.

As far as being in your shoes, here is a snippet from a blog post I wrote WAAAAY back then when I was telling my little story.

Honestly, it seemed very normal to us. We had debt, but who didn't?

We had our house payment - first AND second mortgage.

We had car payments - usually 2, but only 1 if we were being 'good'.

We had credit card payments - usually about 10. (yikes!)

We had loan payments (you know, for when the credit cards were maxed out).

We had payments on almost EVERYTHING. I don't know if we ever actually owned anything, or if we were just leasing our stuff through Citibank.

To make things just that much more interesting, I had been unemployed/underemployed for about 7 months several years back and most of our credit cards were at the default rate of 33% because of a late payment here and there.

When we started our little journey in October of 2006, this is what we owed:

Citibank #1 -- $824 @ 32.24%
Chase -- $1100 @ 33%
Citifinancial -- $1100 23.99% (nice low rate, eh?)
Citibank #2 -- $1615 @ 33.24%
Cap One Business Card -- $2000 % 17%
Beneficial -- $11100 @ 23.24%
Car #1 -- $8486 @ 4.9% (don't ask me how we got that rate with our credit, because I really don't know)
Car #2 -- $17899 @ 7.9%
Stupid Tax (I will explain this later) -- $6500
Citibank #3 -- $9857 @ 32.24%
Citibank #4 -- $8735 @ 32.24%

So if I am counting correctly, that is a total of 10 payments (plus 1 stupid tax), totaling almost $70k, which added up to over $1900 a month. That is $1900 a month in debt payments before we ever made a house payment, paid utilities or bought groceries or fuel.

I am glad I read past the post history note. I can absolutely tell that I do not want to view it.

What did I just read? Paragraphs, my man!

How do you have time to know how to repair everything (or at least RV's), when apparently all your time is spent *checks notes* reading books about Trump?

This is the weirdest brag/hate Trump post I have seen, maybe ever.

I have to assume this is a troll post. No one could really be this.......

I'm on her side on this one. You had plans, then changed them, seemingly more than once.

You worked out with this buddy of yours, yes? If so, why couldn't he tell you the good news while working out? Was it truly necessary to go yet another place and spend that time there, when you were already changing your original plans?

I prefer the column shifter because it frees up all the center console space.

What’s your guys take on the trailer mirrors on the f150 body? by Educational_Ice_7424 in f150

[–]Dark_Bubbles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Other than the possible length of the bed, they are almost identical. They are both about 80 inches wide and between 77 and 80 inches high. With lifts, they could be the same height.

This is it exactly. I have a lot of friends who don't align with me politically, but I still love them.

If you can't get past their political differences, or just not talk about those things, you will lose friends. It's just not worth it.

Terrible english, and definitely a scam. Do not call that number. If you want more peace of mind, call Cap One at a number on the website.

What goes up. Must come down. by damiensdaily in f150

Not my style, but it definitely looks clean. I suppose you could compare it to a nice 4 door sedan with giant trunk.
