I'm in the camp that uses it but buy what you want. Truck and SUVs with off road packages look better than their counterparts.

At this point vehicles are so damn expensive you should get what you like to look at at least.
I just bought a diesel 2500 truck. I jerked the salesman off and gave him an Omaha steak gift card for $250 off sticker.

I will say there is a way to convert a manufactured HUD home to a traditional home. It's not easy, and is in no way worth it.

We have 20 acres and have researched damn near every way possible to build a home. The newer manufactured stuff is actually quite nice, it isn't much cheaper than just building, it's just faster.

We are still undecided on what direction we will go. It's probably in this order right now.

1A stick build
1B barndo
1C modular home on basement
2 manufactured home

Lending on them is a PITA though. I guess the fact you can pick them up and move them makes lenders jumpy. I also learned that they essentially have VIN numbers that are removed when it is "immobilized".


Not true. Lending will give you higher interest rates typically but it's not difficult by any stretch.

There are 2 types. There are modular homes and manufactured homes. Modular homes are built to state specific building codes and assembled onsite. Often with higher build quality than you see with stick built homes. This is treated exactly like a stick built home once completed. Often similar pricing to stick built, but faster.

Manufactured homes are built to HUD specifications, which the vin number you speak of. A manufactured home is what most people consider a trailer, it will have a HUD tag and it will remain on the home no matter what. You can take a double wide and build a 1 million dollar add on to it and it will still be considered a mobile home, or HUD home.

A lot of newer manufactured homes can be either manufactured or modular. You should check out some of the newer stuff, the quality may surprise you. There are 3k sqft manufactured homes that are going for over 300k now. Deer valley in Alabama is a good example.
Yeah they won't give up their $80 4 foot section of tubing very easily. Ridiculously overpriced shite.

That’s $11 / day. You can get 3 cans of velo for that. If you’re housing that much, buy them in bulk rolls. Your bad decision is method of purchase. It’s like being a restaurant and buying all your ingredients at a bodega.


Your argument here is that I should be buying cheaper nicotine? How about quitting and not spending 4k or however much a year on it :lol:

It adds up quick. Zyn is over 5 bucks a can. I had one in from the time I woke up to the time I went to bed. About 10 cans a week. Talking about close to 4k a year on nicotine.
I regret the day I was ever introduced to any kind of nicotine.

Smoking, dipping, Zyn. It makes me cringe to think about the amount of money I have spent on nicotine.

I'm nicotine free since June 25 at this point and if someone offered me a dip or a Zyn I would take it in a heartbeat :lol:

Because it's fricking fast food.

Nothing wrong with eating a good healthy breakfast.
Do we have any actual pictures of our new coach wearing anything LSU branded :lol:
Absolute non story. Underwriting reports (ordered at every policy change or renewal) would have pulled house holding information and adjusted their rate based on what was returned.

They were charging them the rate they would get had they filled out the form appropriately anyway.
I would still counter but I'm honestly shocked you're only 1k off their comps :lol:

Yep, same here. Water is wet, she would disagree, Google it, ask her father, twist words, etc.
They are 18 year olds making million dollar decisions, stop pretending any actual logic is applied.

Iphones have trouble keeping up with the features of their android competitors. Every new tech they market as being revolutionary has been an android staple for years. Better marketing, that's all they have.

Anyway, if your rec league is charging that kind of money, something is f’d.


It was actually exact :lol:
