I only tried last night

carjoe · 02-13-2008, 01:34 AM

Thank god. I actually worked today...

Nascar318is · 02-14-2008, 10:17 AM

Damn it.. There's a guy in the E36 section doing a GB on a E36 M3 Bumper with all the parts and detachable lip, not fiberglass, brand new unpainted...$190CDN. the only problem is you have to pick it up in Waterloo...

Edit: I think it ended yesterday...

carjoe · 02-14-2008, 10:25 AM

Cuz' you need a backup?

Nascar318is · 02-14-2008, 10:27 AM

^^ Nope was thinking about you guys..

Actually I just need that mesh in the front, cause a chunk of rubber flew through it at 120KM/h.. it's something ridiculous like $70 or so...

Jamil20 · 02-14-2008, 11:00 AM

I wouldn't mind an M3 bumper. But do you need new mouldings all around or it looks odd?

Nascar318is · 02-14-2008, 11:01 AM

All the moldings come with it, and your fogs would fit as well.

carjoe · 02-14-2008, 11:06 AM

I'm rather liking my front bumper but it's in dire need of a respray...

Jamil:I don't think it's necessary to change all the door mouldings. I personally would love to change all my side mouldings but I've got so much more crap to do on the car first.

Tony: That's nice. Always thinking of everybody else. That's cuz it's St. Valentin isn't it? For the mesh, Ebay? $70 for gutter guard makes me cringe.

Speaking of crap to do, I'm considering painting the car flat black.

Nascar318is · 02-14-2008, 11:10 AM

Joey: I don't swing for that team, but thanks for the offer, and steak and BJ day is a month away.
And if you need a respray then get that M3 bumper, 2 birds with one stone

Ahmed: I thought you were just talking about the bumper mouldings. For an idea take a look at my car, m3 bumper and stock mouldings all around.

carjoe · 02-14-2008, 11:13 AM

Er, I offered? What the heck did I offer again?

How's the house hunting?

Nascar318is · 02-14-2008, 11:27 AM

Pretty crappy actually, I've been bitching to Adam on MSN on how hard it is too find a decent place.. But then again I'm trying to get him to move to Quebexico lol I found him a nice 2 storey 1500 sq foot with a pool and a 2 car garage for $220K but no luck.. I'd buy it but I'm a few thousand short of what I can afford.. big yard too 9000 sq foot..

I'll wait untill the spring, that's usually when the houses pop up like weeds..

I just don't know if I could take the plunge and move to Quebec. But Damn the deals there are really tempting. I'd never find a house here like the one you sent me for any less than like 400k

I'll do my reverse Darth Vader -- Don't go to the dark side! Don't do it! Overall cost of living (including taxation) is higher!

Nascar318is · 02-14-2008, 05:37 PM

^^^Time to defend the land of the poutine!!!

Taxes are higher but then you have to look at other things as well. Insurence for example some guys on max pay 4K a year for an E30.. I pay $1500 for a 2008 Civic and a 1994 BMW.. Beer is cheaper, smokes are cheaper, gas well it's almost the same. Land taxes are around the $2200 mark, we don't pay for water here, it's in your taxes. If you get a cleaning lady for your house the government pays them $4 an hour...and health care is better on the Quebec side.

It's just little things so add all that up and see how much you save and we'll say for shits and giggles you are starting out $180,000 ahead by buying that house in Quebec at $220,000 Vs The Same House in Ontario at $400,000. If you wanna get technical add on the interest rate for 25 years to both houses and get back to me, you'll be close to $350,000 ahead in Quebec after your 25 years are up with interest. So why is it cheaper to live in Ontario? Beats me, maybe I can't count.

Alot of people asked me why I don't want to move to Ontario and I Just state the above things to them. For $220K in Quebec I get a nice big house, with a yard and double garage, 2 story 3 bed and 2 bath.. In Ontario for that price, I'm lucky if I get a townhouse 2 bed 1 bath and maybe a garage and a driveway to park one car.
