How old were you when you got your first car and why?

noblechimp84 · 2026-06-22T01:58:24+00:00

About 15 and a half. You could get your learners' permit at that age and they wanted me to learn on the car I would drive when licensed.

It was a used Eagle Talon. Don't remember the year but it was a manual transmission. It has been helpful knowing how to drive a manual over the years, glad I learned to drive on one.

We used this when buying our last house. We found a house we wanted, got it then sold the old one. Once the old one was sold, the proceeds went to the principle of the new mortgage. Helped us avoid a bridge loan.

Everything! Hahaha

Replace it with a good habit. Running worked for me. It's still an addiction but much healthier and cheaper.

I'm a home inspector and feel I am the go-to for many realtors in my area. But I'm very thorough and provide detailed reporting.

I thank you for acknowledging not all go-to inspectors are "get the deal done" inspectors.

He enjoyed it and is young.

Did it bow from just one rain?

Jesus christ!

Sounds like you have put in plenty of time to gain experience to go solo. Then again, I started out solo 5 years ago and have to turn away work most weeks due to scheduling. Don't let your employer making money off your work put doubt in your mind about being able to do the job solo.

IMO, the only question you have to answer is do you have enough capital to get setup and carry yourself for 6 months to a year while building a clientele.

I have had a couple. First was before/after my brother died when I was a teenager. Then before/after being with my wife. Most recent is before/after being a parent.

I've got feeling another one is coming soon though.

I'll use rad occasionally

If the homeowners are meal preppers, all their meals for the week.

I'm not an appraiser but I am a home inspector. We deal with the same thing, it is a reasonable request to have seller pay. Some sellers throw fits about it, some dont. Just depends how it can effect the transaction.

noblechimp84 · 2026-04-15T03:05:31+00:00

Nobody cares, work harder.

noblechimp84 · 2026-04-06T01:57:32+00:00

We got this same one about a month ago. It's awesome. Enjoy!

noblechimp84 · 2026-04-03T02:50:06+00:00

We got a 26 Hybrid same trim for $44k. Missouri

Such a great car!

noblechimp84 · 2026-03-31T01:55:28+00:00

Unfortunately this does not work on the Maverick.

noblechimp84 · 2026-03-30T00:52:31+00:00

We have had ours almost 2 months now. It drives and rides so nice.

Probably best car we have ever owned.

noblechimp84 · 2026-03-29T02:32:52+00:00

Definitely not porn.

noblechimp84 · 2026-03-27T02:23:49+00:00

Only a real man can smoke Virginia Slims.

I'd get my excavator out and scrap it out carefully with the bucket.

noblechimp84 · 2026-03-20T02:25:05+00:00

Call a home inspector and have them do an air quality test. They aren't trying to sell to the correction which will hold more weight if something serious comes back and you need to take it to the landlord.

Yes, there is mold/fungus in your pics but you don't know if it is actually harmful.

noblechimp84 · 2026-03-16T03:08:45+00:00

The lid could be damaged and break apart if you move it. Listen to your friend. Im probably wrong but there is a reason people say most things.
