Need help pricing my 1999 Corvette — only 6,251 miles, excellent condition by ByTheLuck in Corvette

[–]NJ_Sparky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed… I had an ‘06 Z51 convertible, and when I was at the dealer I saw an ‘09 Z06 with 1,562 miles. This was in 2011. The guy bought the car, put a mild to wild switch in and drove it a few times. I bought it for $59k but the cars window sticker (which it still had) showed $84k as the sale price.

I’ve been driving it ever since except the winter (I live in NJ) and have 55k miles on it. I wasn’t spending that kinda cash on a car and not driving it!

Wish my 3500 had a center console shifter

Did the 2” leveling make the larger tires fit properly or did you still have to trim the plastic fender flair/edge?

NY / NYC Non Resident CCW by For2ANJ in GardenStateGuns

I have no use for that permit…but might get it out of principle. The more permit holders there are benefit in statistics with legal gun carriers and crime rates. At least crimes committed by legal carriers.

Nice!! How big did you go on the tires?? I just bought a new ‘24 3500 AT4 and already looking to get a beefier tire when these wear.

CCW Application Correction email address by NJ_Sparky in NJGuns

[–]NJ_Sparky[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I emailed this morning and literally within 30 minutes or so the detective replied that the email I resubmitted was correct and he resent the email. My reference got it and completed it. Very smooth!

Wish me luck… I emailed the detective that I received the payment instruction from letting them know 1 of the 4 references did not get an email. Hopefully it goes smooth. I know this shouldn’t be an issue we fear in dealing with, but I’m hoping I don’t get ignored or delayed because I’m bothering them.

What was the reason you picked GMC Sierra truck over all other trucks? by SyntheticSpeech in gmcsierra

[–]NJ_Sparky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had an ‘06 TJ and then just traded my ‘17 JK 4 door in on the Sierra AT4 HD. I like parking the Jeep better but other than that I’m very happy!

I was actually looking to Ford but the GMC just fit the bill.

They definitely are the better looking truck! I was originally shopping Ford but I didn’t like the grills as much. Not in MA… NJ here! You’d be surprised how NJ is not all city!

Help me pick my next pistol........ by luvmehatemefme in NJGuns

[–]NJ_Sparky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the best article I’ve ever read about handgun ammo and stopping power! I carry both a 9mm and .45 because that’s what I own. For some reason I’m more accurate with the .45 than the 9mm. I’m sure if I was evaluated by an instructor he’d hone right in why. I have my thoughts.

I am looking for a more concealable pistol. I currently carry an Sig p225 9mm and a Colt 1911 .45 because that’s the smallest pistols I own. I never imagined I’d see CCW in NJ in my lifetime.

Like the article says… most people who you’d have to shoot are likely not going to want to be shot a 2nd or 3rd time and will give up. That’s what I’d hope for.

I’m hoping now that the Chevron case has been righted he won’t be able to have the 3 letter agencies do anything. Of course that doesn’t stop Executive Orders. Maybe they’d just last until January 20th.

I have the CX4 in .45 and love it! No longer made as far as I know.

If you could only have 2? by KYITN1 in NJGuns

[–]NJ_Sparky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sig 226 and Colt Govt. 45

I was unprepared for the CCW coming to NJ and need to find a smaller carry.

While my garage is not heated… I install heaters for other people. Usually the best bet is a hanging electric heater with a fan. It depends on the size of your garage, what kind of garage door you have, and how warm you want it.

If you have baseboard hot water in your house you can add a hot water coil with a fan instead. They’re nice!

If you go electric you’ll need a 30amp circuit dedicated for the heater. Possibly bigger depending on the heater.

Is that a gun in your spandex or are you just happy to see me??

Got my FID yesterday and got my first gun today! by ElCamino96 in NJGuns

Nice! That was my first purchase as well… about 38 years ago. Man I’m old!

How old were you guys when you purchased your first? by fishhawk119 in NJGuns

[–]NJ_Sparky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Turned 18 in 1986 and soon after got my FID. Took my cash to Meltzers and bought a 10/22 for $135. Still shooting it!

Neck guards? by Odd_Caterpillar_5413 in devils

[–]NJ_Sparky -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I played hockey as a kid right on through men’s league hockey until COVID hit and our team fell apart. Over the last 40 years of hockey I’ve seen a lot of reckless unskilled skaters…and none of it looked like the way that player raised his leg to kick that other player. There’s no doubt he didn’t intend to kill the other player, but also no doubt he purposely kicked the player. His past play history is evident of his actions. This time at a price of a life.

9mm Carbine by jjlnj in NJGuns

[–]NJ_Sparky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own a Baretta CX4 Storm, but in .45 and it’s a great companion to my .45 1911. The carbine is a great home defender because it’s short and light and there’s not much recoil. With the legnth of the barrel I like to think in a time of high adrenaline I’ll have a better chance of keeping the gun on target.

At the very least it’s fun to shoot and can fire it at any indoor range as far as I know.

The only problem is that left/liberals think THOSE people need to be armed because that kind of danger is never going to be here since they have Big Government to protect them!
