  1. Don't mind me asking but why? Coz to much heat build up?

     

    A similar analogy might be if you've ever done a tug a war with a rope & someone let go. If the tension was still there you might not have fallen down. Same thing in your engine. Remove the load and any quick change can have it's way.

  2. I think it might be the same car that was a wreck rebuild. Not 100% sure, but worth looking into. If it's the same car, it was hit in the front & IIRC done by the guy in Louisiana that does many Lamborghini rebuilds. Again , not 100%, but it sure looks like the same car. Yes, wrong wing but that wouldn't stop me if everything else checked out/price was good.

  3. Hello everyone,

     

    I am curious what everyone's thoughts on the upcoming mid-engined C8 are? With the already impressive performance coming from the C7 (notably the Z 0 6), this thing should be a monster!!

     

    Cheers,

    What I'v been told is a price around 150k, no idea if it's still a stick. Probably not. The McClaren is the target for performance.

  4. I heard that a batch of them shipped with bad bearings.

     

    I've been trying to pick up a 2016 B5 Blue on the cheap but dealers are being too greedy.

     

    Not B5, but it does have a sunroof & silver, stick. New 57k.

    Just a fyi, the dealers that took in a 2017 during the first 2 weeks of January got them at 15% off. This is why many 2017's have been discounted to 2016 discounted prices. Every dealer around me has 2-5 2016's. It's only time before they get a little cheaper.

  5. What kind of mods on the Hellcat to get it to 800 HP?

    Pretty impressive IMO for a mid seventy thousand dollar car to keep up with an exotic.

     

    They are even cheaper than that now. Dodge built too many. Around 5k under msrp, maybe better if you shop hard. Almost every dealer is sitting on a few. Dodge ramped up production significantly for 2016. A great car for the money.

  6. I did a 1031 exchange on my first two deals. It is like trading in a car in America and paying sales tax on the difference of the trade.

     

    You dont pay income taxes on the profit if its put into the next property. However, in the end I believe you have to pay taxes on the total when you cash out and dont do another 1031. No sure.

     

    In my city, the average house is $111,000....not much. Good and bad I guess.

     

    You pay taxes on the original gain that you already owed, and the gain on the property that you bought. You really have to be careful though, it's not the free money it appears. Sometimes you end up buying something that should have been passed on. Another is the depreciation schedule on the new property changes as well. You depreciate the difference, not the total price. That can be a big whoops. Say you sold a property for 400k, and made 100k on it . Then you bought a 900k property with the 1031. The depreciation schedule would reflect the 900-400k, or 500k for depreciation, not the real 800k difference to you. At least that's how it was explained to me on the last one that I did. So now one of your best write offs, depreciation was cut. Still another is the tax rate has risen &chances of it ever going down don't look good.

  7. Looks good. Your right about the humidity. It's thick. I was across the river working on mine. Interestingly I got the leatherique kit as well. I'm trying to figure out how to regale my headliner back up among other things. I don't see any screws on the trim. I'm guessing they are behind the weatherstripping or?
