Hart...you weren't that far off.

They sell for $449 in the store. I paid less than half for mine!

It turns out the Power Wheels kids ride on toy community is as bad or worse than we are when it comes to modding their rides!

Finally got the Jeep in the garage after letting uh, several pounds of air out of the tires. It's a very tight squeeze with less than a half inch of clearance between the top of the door and the roof rails.

Poor little jeep, being stuffed away in a box. Somebody got a new toy to play with.

Nice ride, so have you had a chance to drive it yet?

Just don't do like a guy who used to live down on the next farm from me did. Had a nice older Ford pickup, did the same to get it in for the winter. Did a bunch of work to it over the winter, including airing up the tires.
The next spring, yep backed it out and a nice crease right across the back of the cab about 2 inches from the top :ROTFL:

He never did repair it, just painted "stupid " across it :-)r

Not yet...battery needs to charge overnight. Im just glad the boy didn't see me bring it home...it'll be a big surprise for him tomorrow.

Darn thing has a working fm stereo that sounds better than I expected.

Once he gets good at driving (and if he behaves), we'll bump it up to 18v, add lights and build a little trailer for it.

Look out, they run pretty good on 18 from what I've seen
Little trailer would be cool as all get out! :wink:

It won't be in there long. I only moved it in the garage to get it out of the way for my mother and sister who don't use the garage...at all My mom's garage has always been my territory. I don't want BOTH vehicles here at my apartment. If there's a nice snowstorm coming, I'll be sure to beat the storm to the punch and switch it out with the Dart.

With that said um, my house...
The listing has been removed.
The realtor has NOT contacted me on phone or e-mail. Listing was removed on 1/19. Not sure what this means in my case.

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Jan 21, 2013 9:34 am

So you're stuck not knowing if you got it or someone else or ????
That's kind of crappy. No wait that is crappy.

So having fun slamming gears in the new toy?

So cool! For some odd reason I can see you all bunched up in it with a stupid grin on your face :jester:

Tons of Dads have modded those and the like for their kids. Go to youtube and search videos as there are a couple that they had to upgrade steering, put rubber tires on them and seat belts cause they modded the motors so much they'd do burnouts and doughnuts like crazy! :pepper:

They removed the listing because of your accepted offer. The sign will come out of the ground (if there is one) once your mortgage goes through and the closing is scheduled. Congrats :pepper:

Garage topic #453, I think we've beat that one to death :jester:

tommudd · **Posted:** Mon Jan 21, 2013 11:34 am

Yes we have discussed that but it came up again on another forum.
Some people you just have to shake your head :ROTFL:

So whats going on up your way today?

Oh man spent the entire weekend TRYING to get as much as possible wrapped up here at the old dump. Doing crap tons of laundry as we got our new washer and dryer. Shopping for front entry doors, side entry doors, looking at glass block preassembled basement windows, checking out waterproofing paint and or rubber coatings, checking out how to determine a load bearing wall identification, playing with floor layouts, researching additions, shopping for power washers, ladders and much much more but sick of typing :jester:

Oh yeahhhh and went back out to the ars hat's old barn to double check IF my ladders happened to be hiding some where, NOPE, but did find a super cool wind vane and snatched it. While filling up at a gas station some lady saw it in the back while I was looking at it and she inquired about it.................SOLD $150 later :pepper:

Here's the thing, Hart. The offer was accepted on 01/09. Why wait 10 days to remove the listing?

Did something else happen in the process, maybe?

In other news, my uncle is going around telling people that the only reason why I bought the Dart is because I tore my Jeep up, and I'm hiding it from the repossession people!!!!!!

All this because I refused to let him drive it down to Alabama. I told him it wasn't road trip worthy because it needed a lot of maintenance for the long trip.

I'm sure you guys know how PISSED off I am, right? I'm not one of his children. I take care of my stuff!

They removed my listing I think 15 days after my accepted offer, maybe more can't really remember as it's not really important but even IF it was, I still probably wouldn't remember :ROTFL:

Just tell him nooooooooooo, Jeeps in working order but ya still haven't found a place to hide the body ya have in the back. Gotta love stupid family, give him the number of a local rental car company :banghead:

Oh, ok. So it's typical for them to take forever to remove it. Bah. Anywho, I wouldn't take the Jeep anywhere without a new serpentine belt and new front brakes, oil change, etc. Eh, maybe inspect the rears too. I changed them this summer but the fronts are factory with 74k on them. No way.

It is not getting repo'd, nor am I behind on the payments. It gets paid on time each month so just because he lost his house and Escalade and has to live with his sister doesn't mean everyone else has to be miserable. Ugh.... My mom wanted to give him a piece of her mind too but I told her to just leave him alone. Nobody believes him anyway.

If I just spent almost $1k getting a steering rack and water pump replaced, there is no way in hell I am letting anything get repo'd. :lol:
