    Never say never. I had a friend who bought a house in northern Colorado some years back for $210k and I thought he was crazy for it with a job he only made $60k at.

    His house is now worth $500k easy.

    My window switch for the driver’s window quit on me at a receiver last week. I called up Rush in OKC and they had no idea when they would have any. I appointed the passenger side switch as the current replacement.

    I wished i had taken some pictures of the empty car lots. If i remember i will get some in a few days. I actually thought one dealer went out of business one day the lot was so empty. Now they are putting used ones in the new car sections.

    Lol. Overpaid. Lol. Thats 750k in my area with that much land. Also theres no gas here either. Nothing but dirt. Lol.

    I also have to say nurses are knocking down 100k easy and more if they want it. They cant even open all of a hospital they are so short handed. Hundreds of beds are closed off. No staff.

    Early this summer i picked up a 95 ex cab silverado with everything operational including the ac and 4 new tires .
    Has the usual rocker rust and peeling clear coat but a perfect work truck .
    Paid 1200.00 for it and my car guru friends say I stole it .

    I’d say you did, as long as it runs and drives good. Those TBI 350s will run #### near forever.
