ugh.....and the thought of how much i have lost on each trade off makes me sick when i think about it. i did ok on this deal though.....they gave me $19,200 for the sti which was a 2005 with 32000 miles on the clock. aside from that it was in need of about $2000 worth of body work and paint. the truck was priced at $26,995 with 30k on the clock. i loved the sti but i just started a business and the truck was much more convenient for that than the car which is what made me trade up this time.

we bought in 1999 for $170k. we just had it appraised several months ago at $465k. what has happened to real estate down here over the last several years is just insane.

Actaully it sucks, it's made it virtually impossible to buy a house with reasonable land. My parents just bought a house in Ga for 192k sitting on just shy of 12 acres more like 11.7?.

they took a 5 foot gator out of the water about a year ago after it ate a duck. until they attack something, they are left alone though. in the 7 years ive been here that is the only one i know of but being that it is a bit of the everglades that hasnt been developed, im sure there are more back there.

Great lookin place and views. I spent some time in Miami some years back (my only time in FL) and I couldnt believe the price of things and the money down there in general. Unreal. New Benz's were like Civics - all over the place.

Some of the housing inflation is rediculous, and I agree with Danny that it totally screws new buyers. Nice for situated owners though, unless wanting to move any time soon.

Rog, I put a Johnny Lighting ram air kit on Carl's 2001 Lightning and picked up 1.5psi. Actually I took the H&K .45 and bought him the JLP kit and $200. I still got a deal.
