    Buying barbecue by weight

    I agree. Costco actually sells the two packs of pork shoulders with the bone in where I live. I think it's different depending on where you live and which meat packing plant they get their shoulders from. There is just something neat about the meat falling off the bone when it comes to...

    Active housing inventory for sale is rising on a year-over-year basis in almost every state.

    I believe lots of people are buying even though the rates are high. I see people coming into my state from other southern states and money seems to be no object for them. Even the old homes or fixer uppers bring decent money. The buyers look at them like a 69 Camaro that needs a little...

    Is this too much rust for a GMT360 Truck?

    Well in my opinion it probably has a little rust all over the entire vehicle. What you are willing to touch up on your own is up to you. A good rattle can here and there would probably keep it looking good for many years. If you are a "good enough" type of buyer go for it. I am sure the price...

    Buying barbecue by weight

    That's different. I usually buy the 3 pack of ribs from Costco and it's usually about $2.99 to $3.39 per pound. I am smoking 3 racks on my Yoder for my kids birthdays next week. Smoke em if ya got em.

    Merkur XR4Ti

    A buddy of mine had one and it broke down on a regular basis but it had been rode hard. I never really thought it was anything other than a poor mans Saab.

    Car buyer from online auction, trying to scam me?

    I agree with the go the bank crowd. I sold a vehicle last year for $6,000 cash and it was a pain counting it all out. I also sold my mom's Buick for cash and had to get that special pen in order to determine the money wasn't counterfeit. You sleep much better at night knowing the banker...

    Do dealers/shops actually still cut rotors?

    Because they don't last very long after they have been turned and seem to warp easily. The cheap Chinese junk you are talking about seem to work good. I bought some new rotors for my Civic a long time ago and they are still working great.

    How does buy back process work on a totaled vehicle

    The best way to do a buyback is if you own the vehicle and have title in hand. The insurance company pays you $$$ money for the vehicle and they would get the titles. Then you can offer the insurance company money of lesser value than they paid and you can buy it back sometimes. My buddy did...

    Do dealers/shops actually still cut rotors?

    As long as it's apart you might as well buy brand new. The last time I had anything resurfaced they didn't last nearly as long as brand new brake rotors. There are some shops in my area that do it but I wouldn't recommend it.

    Value of Brother's 24 Corvette

    Well that's fine if he is keeping it. I just keep buying newer ones and putting lots of miles on them and buying another one from a low mileage seller. My 2014 Corvette only has 30,000 miles on it and I put on around 5,000 miles per year and this will be my third summer with the car. I will...

    Bought another beater (Pontiac vibe)

    Nice find! I know a guy that owns a salvage yard and the employees would keep the change and put it in a bucket or something. He gave the money to our Corvette club one year and I can't remember the amount but is was over $1000.00. You obtained a good deal on the Corolla clone. Those things...

    Blast from the past: Any Bitogers ever "dial the phone collect to home"?

    That was a little past my time calling collect however I do remember it faintly. We did have a party line with about 4 families or more using the same line. Sometimes as kids we would listen to other peoples conversations but the other party usually could tell there was someone listening. Not...

    Value of Brother's 24 Corvette

    Good to hear he is keeping it! A Corvette for the most part is a depreciating asset. Ask me how I know I have owned them for 35 years and NEVER made money but had loads of fun and experiences. I always like the newer cars because they generally do not break down or have hidden surprises...

    Value of Brother's 24 Corvette

    If he doesn't really care about leaving money on the table he should get at least 5 bids from dealers. Provide tons of pictures and talk to people in person if possible. Many dealers buy vehicles without driving them and put a stipulation if there are any surprises the check will not be made...
