I somehow got 1.6% on mine when it went to 5 years. 3 years was 5% for whatever reason. I put down 40% on a used 09 and will just pay off the rest. Promotion at work means I am now doubling down on payments. Pay it off, sell it, buy whatever new thing Nissan decides to make in the future.

Interesting. Usually the other way around with rates vs length! Nice deal you got.

Most new cars generally have really good financing rates available. I wouldn't pay cash unless the rate was over 2-3% but I also wouldn't buy new unless I could get a good rate. Used cars are generally a better deal but some models hold their value so well you're just better off buying new. It's crazy.

Pretty sure my handicap is about it drop again. Just shot 49 on the back 9 which is way harder than the front. Long drive was 310!!

I am loving the Honda Fit. :tup: $20 bucks to fill the tank and it lasts a whole week. Much better than $85+ a week for the Silverado. :rock:

You could build something for under $500 at this point that'll crush everything for the next 5 years. Especially with AMD back in the game with Ryzen CPU's.

Can't decide between 1700X or i7 7700k right now :ugh2: After I finally choose one, my new rendering machine will be a go haha. 1080 Ti, 32GB DDR4, etc. It's basically what I have right now but 4 years into the future lmao :rofl2:

Found a bottle of plum sake. It'll be a fun night!!

Leingod 08-05-2017 04:38 PM

Finished detailing the girlfriends Versa. Took 4 and a half hours, but I am happy. hasn't been properly washed in a year. Forget about anything else. Process was:

Duragloss 902 via foam cannon
Clay bar with griots quick spray
Another foam cannon round
Meguiars polish with Madwi's DA orbital and a polishing pad
Hand applied four star sealant and let cure for an hr
Hand applied collinite wax and let cure 10 minutes.

Slow board over the weekend

Leingod 08-05-2017 07:40 PM

Typing this from the bathroom....

Leingod 08-05-2017 07:41 PM

That detailing kicked my butt. Im beat. Fighting to stay away for Rick and Morty tonight.

Leingod 08-05-2017 07:41 PM

Going to try and detail the Z tomorrow. Hopefully...

Leingod 08-05-2017 07:42 PM

Finally got confirmation that my putter shipped as well. 40 inch white hot odyssey.

Leingod 08-05-2017 07:43 PM

Didn't even realize I am closing in on 200k reps.

Leingod 08-05-2017 07:43 PM

I'll keep this thread going guys. It's alright. Made is probably too busy building his rig and EW is probably curling up against his porcelain good
