there's always a house for sale but just one power tour. ;D good luck on the new house. they can be a great joy and a big pain in the ***. look for the pics as they are posted so you can keep up with the fun if only in spirit.

[moparjim71]

Good luck with your new house. See you on HRPT '09!

Well John, maybe you were meant to join us on the Western Scenic Tour? At least come out to Vegas for a couple of days. Maybe you can win some money, or be just like me and lose some like I did today. Just got back about 4:30 this afternoon.

John,
That is too bad, I was looking forward to meeting you. Well, guess I may see you on PT 2009 then.

Good luck with the house.

[Solsticefun]

[bowtiemonster]

Congratulations! As long as Hot Rod Magazine is in production, there will be another power tour to participate in. Enjoy your new home and keep in touch with the other members here.

My only question is...does it have a shop!!!?If not,forget the house,do the tour!! ;D

[Solsticefun]

Send us pictures of you and your car in your new house.

[bowtiemonster]

Send us pictures of you and your car in your new house.


I will and then let you nw what I paid for it when the deal is complete you hate me for the price.

[LadyGT]

Now, how are we going to know if you got a good price? Each region is priced differently. I know with today's economy, it's a buyer's market and there are a lot of homes going into foreclosure. If you got a really good deal, you may be starting a land run. lol.

[White Monster]

;D

[Solsticefun]

They say it is a buyers market now, with all these forclosers going on.

[White Monster]

I think we are in for at least two years of tough times and depending on who gets into the White House in November, it may last longer than that !!

[Solsticefun]

To be honest with ya Steve, I believe whoever gets in the White House, we are in for a few years of rough times. However, if we all can just hang on, things should get better. I hope. :-\

Not to hijack John's thread much further, but yesterday I read a report on what started all this. Very interesting facts about how the major lenders jumped into the subprime market with both feet and are now paying the price. Same reading said we are in for another 18-36 months of foreclosures and a tightening of the lender market. I certainly feel sorry for those innocent buyers that have been caught up in this. Now back to well wishes for John!

Cheaps I don't want to start a fight but the only "innocents" in this whole mess will be the people that end up bailing the others out (those will be us good honest tax paying citizens). Those KINKO loans were desired by the people that took them. They were speculating on the market continuing to expand at unprecedented rates (does anyone remember 1929?). So now we are all going to pay for the fun others have had.

For John (and others) it clearly is a time to buy as there seems to be LOTS of good deals out their right now.

[White Monster]

The good deals are going to get better and better for those who can wait.
There will also be a lot of Hot Rods coming out of the barns for sale too !!
Bad for them, good for us.

[MIKEE]

I agree w/ DOUG, and STEVE, and CHEAPS.........How's that for being a politician?

Even BUSH is aditting things aren't as good as he was leading us to believe. big money will look for a bailout by taxpayers, like the S&L's did.

I have already seen many cars for sale and their prices are being reduced drastically!

REAL ESTATE MARKET IN MANY STATES IS BAD!

POSITIONING IS IMPORTANT NOW!

[1cheapstreet]

The innocent ones I was talking about are all those people that could get into homeownership by an initially low interest rate. All the major banks jumped on the bandwagon here and now those low rates have skyrocketed. I personally know quite a few people that got caught up in this and now have had their dreams crushed as well as their credit. Yes, we all will be involved in correcting this mess know matter who ends up in the White House. By no means was I referring to the lenders as "innocent", I feel their greed will be the downfall of all of us. >:(

Now back to our regularly scheduled programing. ;)

Oh yeah ...

.. sorry you can't come on this year's PT bowtiemonster !

[moparjim71]

I'm sorry you will miss the tour also. It is a good time to buy a house. I think the next year or so will be a very good time to add another car also if you need one. Prices will be coming down. It's already started.

[bearphoto]

I think john got scared when I told him I'd put my formula firebird up against his camaro for pinks. Is that right John? Just kidding, we had a great time with he and Val last year. I look forward to cruising with you again John. Maybe next year if not at the Western Scenic Tour.

The house deal fell trough. As far as for pinks lets go for it but I'm taking the elcamino. just a tad scarier then the camaro ;D.

[1cheapstreet]

So are you doing PT or the Western Scenic Tour or BOTH? Let us know and we'll hook up somewhere with you and Val. ;)

p.s.-sorry about the house deal, ours fell through also. Now we're looking at land and just build what we want. Small house and huge shop! ;D Ken is a lucky man!

[moparjim71]

If the house deal fell through is PT back on?

[White Monster]

John,
Sorry about the house brother, but there will be a lot of other opportunities coming up sooner than you think. Around here, houses, cars and boats for sale are coming out of the woodwork.

[Solsticefun]

Sorry to hear about the house, but as I'm always told, things happen for a reason, there will be plenty of more chances. The next house you find might be even a better deal than the first.

[bowtiemonster]

No big deal about the house they are new ones on the market every day. Still ging to miss the tour though. the money that Id spend on the tour I'm going to use to finish off some bills, this way it puts me in a better position on homes and betters house also.

[CJP]

Currently looking at buying my first home and will deffentaly be missing the tour this time around. The deal was to sweet to pass up.


Get your crib set up and meet us in Madison in Jume of 2009 for the start of the next PT

[Solsticefun]

Darn, I guess getting a house is more important. I was hopeing to meet you on the tour this year. Oh, well there will be more tours. Good luck on the house hunting.
