Old Saying....
I spent all my money on Beer and Land Cruisers, the rest I just wasted.
For most of the years I was building mine there wasn’t money for both. Fortunately, I’ve never been a fan of beer. All my spare money went into my 40.
As a kid my father had problems with alcohol… so I’ve chosen not to drink. Besides when your annual income is $12-14k, putting money into the 40 meant reducing the food budget. I feel like I made the right choice… besides if I were to start drinking, there’s a good chance I wouldn’t stop. :cheers:

I was an alcoholic for 38 yrs. I'm 10 yrs sober. I speak from experience. I have 2 almost mint land cruisers and a cabinet full of booze.

I’m not sure where the cabinet of booze fits into the equation.

I’m still working on mine… mint is still quite a ways off.
 
Dammit I want this.

Man the s*** I would have if I wasn't eternally house poor...

It funny I have an ad saved for a unimog with an enormous bucket and excavator mounted on it (enormous is an understatement 😳), 90% sure I saw it in the first episode of this crappy tv show I tried watching last night.

I think I remember that one. Wonder if the new owner rented it out for production? Or maybe just purchased outright as a prop? Maybe will get liquidated again at some point....

I thought finishing my mortgage would offer financial freedom. But now I'm trying to catch up on all the things my essentially original 1978 house needs (mortgage kept me poor enough I was deferring what I could). Roof/windows/doors/kitchen/bathrooms etc. should set me back for a good 10 more years. LOL. Never ends!

Oh don't remind me. My house is a total pain in the ass. 🤣
 
Well I've been renting for 12 years and the landlord came by yesterday and gave me a 2 years notice that he's going to sell it. I've tried to buy this home many times off of him. Now its more than twice the price..... Lots of swearing!!!!

There's options.

Sorry to hear man. At least he's giving tons of notice. With Bs south of us a lot can happen in that time. Maybe house market correction I hope.

‘74 TR6
IMG_0476.jpeg

Happened to see this Magenta TR6 in a garage the other day. He last had it listed a couple years back for $10k. When I asked he said $9k… which seems fair for a garage kept, rust free TR6 that hasn’t been driven much in the last 30-35 years.

I kinda miss my GT6 sometimes, and a TR6 has a stronger drive train. However, it’s a two seater with no space for a dog or two. It would be fun though. I’m like to keep my vehicles and I’m cheap so $9000 for a toy seems like a lot.
 
Nice car but damn, 🤮 that colour would cost a bunch to change.

It's a "rare" original colour that was only in production for two years. Painting it a different colour would probably "devalue it". Not a colour I'd choose. It sounds like it has always been garage kept and has only been driven for a year or two here or there.
 

Walking foot industrial machine $500 obo
 
Interesting.... I don't like cabrioles, but for that price.... Wonder how much a rebuilt short block runs?
