I was planning on Taco Bell but my local one is trash and doesn’t open till 12 apparently.
Heading up north for Craigslist stuff so I’ll make a detour to TB.

$80k car.
Concerned about $400 per year
Something tells me a hand built, one off custom exhaust isn't in his future...

Someone posted a video of an akrapovic exhaust on facebook and damn does it sound good. I'd rather put that $6.6k into the loan though.

Budgeting is fun, I've got an excel spreadsheet with all my paychecks mapped out and planned through 2030. Wife and I are both paying our cars off this month, then it's paying off the retaining wall. Somewhere in there I'm gonna get my fancy downpipe, and start actually considering how far I want to go with this car/what my end goals are.

So someone moved in to the house across the street from me. Not the rat house or the house that caught on fire, those are still a mess. This was across the street. They were moving in the other night, and this was the only car parked outside at like 9:30 at night.
I was kinda excited that they were a car enthusiast (and still German at least), and wouldn't look at me like I was crazy or make off-handed comments about all the time I spend working\cleaning on my car (last guy who owned the house once quipped "If you worked on your house as much as you worked on your car, it'd be worth a million bucks! Hyuck hyuch hyuch!")
The car left a bit later and they haven't been back, so I assume it was just a friend helping him move in. Kid (and I mean kid, he looks like he's like 16) drives a pickup.

Believe Rice tried that, but never stuck to it. Or maybe I'm mis-remembering lol.

nice! i too have the next 5 years planned down to the gnat's ass with paychecks, bills, etc. i shared a spreadsheet with a few on here looking to simplify their lives a bit if its hard to track bills and map out their cashflow.

mis-remembering, i still got it! works a charm once i got it dialed in a few years back.
not that i'm very good with money once the bills are paid lol.

I'd say this almost further ensures that to a degree that the person moving in is at least somewhat mechanically inclined. If you're young I feel you're more likely to not have the money to pay someone to fix your shit, and it doesn't hurt so bad trying to roll around on the garage floor and fight with rusty shit. Hopefully they're the good kind of car neighbor.
getting the bills paid is the major thing, IMO. I don't have money to invest or anything wild like that, but I've got a bit of a safety net, my bills are paid, and I spend my remaining money living a life that I'm satisfied with. You don't get a high score at the end, it's all about what you do between the start and the finish.

This.
I've got a 3/8" and a 1/2" torque wrench from them and they're great.
I did pick up a 1/4" from HB at one point because it was $10, but I've yet to have need for a 1/4" torque wrench.
