Spent three hours touching all up all the rock chips in my front bumper then attempted to polish my carbon hood. The front bumper looks incredible. The hood, vastly improved but still not great. Gonna hit it again next weekend. Trying to avoid a body shop this year, money is tight saving for a house.

Thanks! This weekend was beautiful here in NY. Shes showing her age but she still cleans up decent. And as far as my stripes, I love them. Couldnt find any I liked so I whipped these up myself. Appreciate the compliments!

I replaced the HID bulbs with LED bulbs in the headlights. It was a good improvement. Its not where i,d like it to be. but better. Does not compare with the gen 6 headlights or the c6 but its better.

Thanks! I have no issue putting the car on the back burner in the pursuit of a house. The day I get to put her in her own garage for the first time will make it all worth it. Saving every bit to give my wife and mistress ( the SS ) a better life

Don't do it! lol being a homeowner is definitely the most expensive thing I have ever done. I'm in my second home and patiently waiting for mortgage rates to come back to earth so that I can refinance. Also, if Florida homeowners insurance companies would stop raising rates every year, and then dropping everyone, that'd be great.

lol ain’t that the truth. If it ain’t one thing it’s another gobbling up the cash for sure. The kids don’t help much in that dept. either lol.

Im in Long Island NY. Besides the interest rates killing me, I'm looking at at least 600k for a house that I still have to renovate. I'm in construction and so are most of my friends so the work doesn't bother me. Buying a house that expensive and still having to gut it irks me though. It is what it is though, I'm obsessed with buying a house soon.

having been born and raised on long island (Patchogue) i know that pain (taxes etc) from ny went to California another expensive place now in Virginia and could not be happier own my home outright due to selling post pandemic during ca real estate boom. i can breathe a bit thanks to that and just worry about property taxes.. good luck brother!

We bought our house in 2020 right before the pandemic hit and got an interest rate of 2.9%. And now we would like to move but not with these new rates.
