Served neat on the hood of a $500 car.

Don't get me wrong, it isn't great. But at 1/10 the price of things like Eagle, this isn't 1/10 the whiskey.

I got this for essentially free with no strings attached. I can fix and sell it (probably for $1500) or keep it. 2001 F150 5.4 with a miss fire.

It already has a 2-3 suspension lift. I see I can slap on another 2inch body lift for cheap. Used 33-35 tires, remove the bed, chop the front bumper, and maybe diy some skid plates and be in it $1000?

But it isn't what I want. I was thinking fuel efficient and small for longer distance trips, but this is literally free. Yet, just cause it's free doesn't mean I have to keep it.

Thoughts?

Took the Elantra to the Gambler 500 and am hooked. I used to off-road a truck on 33's back in the day and have been wanting to get back into the hobby, but I think the battlecar idea will better suit my needs!

Any AWD car suggestions besides Subaru? Nothing German either. Low budget.

I'm thinking a Jaguar X Type would be hilarious. Suzuki SX4 is another option. (dream would be Suzuki X90 but they're an expensive cult classic, plus I know it's technically considered a truck).

Open to any and all suggestions! Thanks!

I did my own drywall and am sanding the primer now and it legit is looking like glass at 220, and I can even take it to 300 or 400. I know most paint and sheen recommendations are based off of generic drywall in a spec home for high wear situations with like kids and pets, and none of that applies to me.

I'm thinking of spraying perfect high gloss in the bathroom like in the photo example. Maybe roll on a flat or matte in the bedroom with a small mohair roller? Anything fun or luxurious or unique I can do in my kitchen?

Thanks!

I am wrapping up drywall, and I did a true Level 5. Absolutely flawless. Sanding down the primer with 220 and I can even take it to 300+ and make it look like glass. So paint:

I'm leaning towards matte for the ceiling. Should I do matte on the walls? Worries about food splashes and such leaving stains.

Also debating on going with gloss, as in spreading an almost automotive gloss (I don't care if that's not the conventional spec home approach). Is that also too much and will sho wear quickly from scuffs and such white trying to keep it clean?

Thanks!

2006 Pontiac G6 with factory amp and 8 speaker system.

That factory 6.5 speaker is advertised as a "subwoofer", so would dropping in that Skar 6.5 subwoofer work well sound wise?

(That 6.5 is specifically 2 Ohm and really only outputs bass, so my options are limited. I even tried a factory used one and that is more broken than what I had)

DIY low budget. Used stove, dishwasher, and fridge from marketplace.

I'm super happy with being able to rip up the glued down sheet vinyl floor and actually save the hardwood.

I'm also surprised how well my dishwasher retrofit turned out.

I've gotten probably a dozen emails about this "event".

You can literally test ride a Harley any time a dealership is physically open,so how am I "running out of time"? No discounts, no promotions, nothing.

Anyone else feel this is kind of, cringe or something?

Harley really needs to invest in -proper- marketing.

(Don't get me wrong, when the HD Truck comes in to town, *that* is an event and I go every year)

Asking about the value as I offered to trade my truck for this.

My truck is not worth $8k. But I also don't *feel* this car is either... But I actually don't know.

So just asking for a second opinion, cause if this is what it's actually worth... I'll carry on. Don't want to "low ball" someone if I don't know what I'm doing.

Thank you!
