[sharpsicle]

Wait wasn't it just 2026? And 2025 before that?

When does he release the 2028 video?

Whenever rent is due lol. Every week at the long stay.

Was no Cuda at Sema, nothing with a Hemi except the homologation NHRA car, which he never mentioned., no Vipers, no 5.7 Gladiators.. But Tim Kuniskis calls him to chop it up...

He still finds people to click who can't remember when he said brampton was getting sold to BYD, or Chrysler Jr was buying everything back or they were discontinuing the 3.6.

Like and share and type Amen if it reaffirms your prejudices and biases.

For anyone that might be wondering, I spoke w/ AMW and they have done 2 diesel-to-V8 conversions. Not a problem (just more $$$).

Did you get a ballpark price?

 

[Stan H]

I would definitely have to sell something.

Like I said, I keep 0 dollars cash, not a single penny in a bank account other than what I need to pay my bills, it hits long enough to pay, clear, and goes right back to 0.

So I would have to sell something, borrow against something... But I have things to sell and borrow against, as most adults should.

Unless they've already leveraged everything they have for Doordash and HVAC side by sides and campers and boats.

Doordash

Doordash

I mean, folks can finance their Doordash orders via Klarna.

Pay for your burrito in four easy payments.

A video I watched recently pointed out that these payments are not reported to to assist your credit score at all, but if you don't pay, it gets sent to collections.

So your $30 Chipotle order financed on four payments can't help your credit score. At all. But it can ruin the hell out of it

I wonder haw many that say AMW is charging more than its worth have actually done the math?

You're going to have roughly 10k just in the cost of a crate 5.7 and reman'd 8HP75 alone (after taxes, shipping fees, ect.). Can't really give an accurate cost of all the additional stuff like custom intake, exhaust, A/C lines, mounts, rad assembly, PCM tuning, etc., but lets just toss a rough guess of another $10k for all of that combined. Now we're at $20k. That leaves another 10k for labor and shop fees, which considering the work involved is probably pretty on-par for any shop rate, and I'd argue its probably more reasonable compared to most custom fabrication shops out there.

So, is a $30k price tag a lot? Not really.

Your not likely to far off, I was surfing ebay yesterday and crate 5.7 was around 4k out the door. Strapped to pallet in a row. 3.6 motors pulled from wrecks are almost same pricing.

A used "crate" engine pulled from a wreck is cheaper than a brand new crate engine? Shocking.

Doordash

I've definitely seen people pay for door dash with Affirm.

38 dollar taco bell order with tip on 4 payments... But boomers are why they can't buy a house.

Pfff.

I have friends that are still hitting the fanciest bars in New Orleans a couple times a month like its a necessity, at the same time they are having to skip payments on their new car.

Wild out there.

Sooo messed up……. And they complain ”I‘m not making enough $$”

Well, no shit …..…

Find yourself some Ramon noodles and a cheap microwave and save yourself $10,400 a year (guesstimating $200 a week in door dash - and I’m sure they’re spending more than that on useless wasteful shit). And lets not start talking about how many people buy expensive coffee at Starbucks.

I mean, the fact that inflation has robbed the dollar of it's value is also true.

But it's very easy to access credit now, in the form of buy now pay later, and foolish people do.

A coworker of mine was going out to lunch everyday at work. Typically four days a week since we were usually gone by lunch on Friday.

Anyway, being that i knew where he would go, I figured he was spending $15-18/day on lunch. I was like bro you're plowing through up to $300/month in lunch alone.

Well after enough of that he started bringing lunch everyday - but he got tired of ham sandwiches and went back eating out

I said you guys don't meal prep? He's like meal what? Most our leftovers go in the dumpster.

Can't hide money I guess

Now, I do allow myself one lunch a week away from the office, and one breakfast a week on the way in - but I usually end up only doing lunch and breakfast three times each in a month, at most.

My some day wife is a hell of a suzy home maker, and I'm a pretty good cook myself - and we live 20 minutes from town - so we lean on a lot of 'money saving' tactics. Cooking in, meal prepping, thrifting, re-claiming furniture, etc.

The 5.7 wasn't from wrecks, now I don't know "If they fell off back of truck" in route to somewhere.
