i switched from turbo tax to taxact, turbo tax kept nickel and diming me for things and it finally pissed me off enough that i switched.

Another vote for taxact though I've used turbotax the last couple years. I used to use taxact online because they were the only web based one and I ran on linux (this was before vmware even).

This year I have the corporate taxes with the RCT-101 form. I was about to shoot myself until I found the instructions in the CT-1 booklet. Turbotax is lame and it doesn't handle everything a single member LLC needs to do.

i heard on the radio that some wife was making their husband chocolate covered bacon for v day. MMMM!!!! what a lucky man! Granted my wife picked up a few bottles of my favorite beer but some bacon and chocolate chip cookies would have been an added bonus!

Tried to get partial sponsorship on suspension and it isn't happening. I'm going to try to just find a set of race springs cheap and live with them on the ride to work when I take it to work. The final question is whether I go 255 40 17 with mild fender rolling or if I go 285 30 18 and do flares. You can do flares as easy as riveting on cheap black CF flares or you can make it look factory by blending in newer E46 front fender cutoffs.

Don't do the rivet flairs. You will look like every tool that drifts a beat ass 240SX.

I think 255s would be perfect for your car.

Yeah but to be competitive autocrossing your car kind of has to look ridiculous. You should see the SMF Honda CRX's. It would look so weird with huge high flares with street tires normally though.

[grimm]

it's a track car, rivet them on so when you rip them off you can just slap on another.

[piku]

I'm still idiotically going for dual use. I can't dump that kind of coin into the car and not be able to street it when I want to blow off some steam.

It's cool but from what I read it can only fit certain very short cars. Plus looks like it'll get stuck on speed bumps ;)

[grimm]

i like the one that has a rear garage. It's a track RV. trying to find a picture of it. I thought someone on here had one.

[Antonio]

at that point it'd be easier/cheaper/better to get an enclosed car trailer with a seating/living area than to get an RV with a small car storage cubby. Just seems like the hard way to do the same thing

It looks like the RV is taking a dump with the color-matched Smart.

Yeah what would be ultimate for me is a toy hauler style 5th wheel trailer that is VERY long, tri axle being towed by a 1 ton diesel truck with a manual transmission. The car area doesn't have to be huge. just big enough for a normal sedan. But that combination is like $50K+, even well used. My setup with open car trailer is well uh... cheaper ;) Even if it's more hassle it's the best bang for the buck. The only other problem with the RV's is that they depreciate.. fast.

That's not always the case depreciating that fast. It's usually the normal amount of a car honestly. My dad has had his for 7 years and maybe has dropped about 10k in actual value.

He's trying to get rid of his if you know anyone interested. $40k and it's yours.
