  1. Is that for HISD only? Not sure what is considered 'Houston' anymore.
  2. This was a few months ago. We bought before we sold. Probably paid too much, but got more than we were expecting so fuck it, right?
  3. We sold our pretty basic although somewhat upgraded house in the West Houston burbs for almost $100K more than I thought it was worth. Had probably 50 showings and more offers than I could count. Builder grade house a few doors down listed for half a million and was pending in two days. Amazing if that is what half a million gets you in the burbs these days.
  4. I use one card for recurring auto payments and another one for daily purchases. Much less of a pain when the daily card inevitably gets flagged for fraud. My ATM card has been compromised twice in the past six months and I never really even use it. No idea how they're getting that number.
  5. I disagree that it's even remotely worse than rebadging a base model as a performance model. In general I leave the badges alone though. Everyone asks me why I don't rebadge the SS as a Commodore and to be honest, I've been tempted. I decided to just own the shitty gold bowties and roll with it. That said, I'm a firm believer people should do whatever they want with their own cars.
  6. I have a Stihl RE90 that I picked up for general patio, sidewalk, siding work around the house. It's small, light, and does a good enough job for what I need. I also plan to use it on my cars, but need to research more about what kind of foam cannon to buy.
  7. Why so many dickhead comments? I thought this was a safe space?
  8. I get the sleeper look, but I would have left the star only. I don't own it though so fuck my opinion!
  9. It doesn't even appear that he's trying to shake hands with anyone. It seems like you'd have to be an actual moron to believe he was.
  10. Well shit, I never made it over there to try it. No reason to now.
  11. I'm just blown away at the fact that so many people think Keystone would have somehow been the magic bullet that solved all our problems. It's all over the comments across the interwebs though so someone is pushing that narrative. It's infuriating how ignorant people are when it comes to something they depend on for so much.
  12. This is all insurance really. Pay premiums with zero claims for two decades. Make a legitimate claim and the premiums go through the roof.
  13. I also tried the new Roegel's location this weekend and thought it was solid. Not the best I've had, but close by and worth stopping for. Glad it's an option.
  14. Confirmed today limes are 2/$1 and lemons 3/$1. That's some bullshit.
  15. Yes, lemons are normally more expensive than limes. Typically 3/$1 for lemons and 5/$1 limes in my area. Limes have been getting more expensive over the past few months though and apparently have overtaken lemons in some places. That sucks because I don't make margaritas with lemons.
  16. Because the guys who work there are dumbshits who can screw up even a simple task...like changing oil on a car.
  17. Better than 0% raise, 10% inflation, and NO pizza party!
  18. I noticed that last night and thought I was seeing things since they weren't even talking about it.
  19. Before I even knew that guy went to OU I said 'man this douche looks like someone who would go to OU'. No offense of course.
  20. Does this mean we don't have to see the Amish Okie anymore?
  21. Fuck both these teams. Of course I'm still watching.
  22. My Dad had a 1986 300zx. It was a cool car with some pretty advanced tech for its time. I always liked the older models better though. I did want one of the early 90's twin turbos, but lawn mowing money wasn't enough to buy one.
  23. I think they're pretty cool looking. Definitely better than the previous 370z bloated turd.
