I got a whole car painted for less than that. I say he should see what they're doing and shop it around at other places. Dedicated paint shops can probably manage a lower profit margin.
and that paint job was probably shit. just sayin'

Oh it was, only like a one year warranty but I sold it after like two and made a net profit so I was happy.

The thing is that if the dealership says they'll do certain things and give it xx years warranty, you should shop around and see if you can find a better deal on getting for same type of quality/warranty. I would say the same if he needed his CV joint replaced or something, dealerships shouldn't be your only or even your best choice.

I'm planning my move to Plymouth, MA. I've been researching for weeks.

One thing I'm most worried about is PT.

One of the reasons I want to move to NE is the public transportation. I personally hate cars and hate driving them and would rather catch a bus. I know Boston has some pt, and that you can live there without owning a car, but I can't find anything on Plymouth, Massachusetts. Google isn't supplying any good answers on how good the pt is over there. Or even if they have buses that also go to Boston. Arggh.

Apparently this is the local line for Plymouth.

There's also this: http://www.mbta.com/

Himu · « **Reply #5542 on:** January 14, 2011, 03:13:21 AM »

I seriously want to move here.

http://www.city-data.com/city/Plymouth-Massachusetts.html

My hard on for history, my love for old shit, my love for pretty sights and touring and nature. omg I would love it there!

My worry next to PT is the pricing of apartments.

Median gross rent in Plymouth, MA in 2009: $1,070

Himu · « **Reply #5543 on:** January 14, 2011, 03:31:03 AM »

There's also Lakeville, which I'm researching also. Seems like a better place to move than Plymouth due to price. I'd just rather stick with Plymouth because it's closer to where I plan on working.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #5544 on:** January 14, 2011, 04:09:02 AM »

The whole Massachusetts coastline has lots of cool historical stuff to see, especially Salem (which is awesome during Halloween) and The Hull (which is at the tip of Massachusetts extended phallus) but yeah, in general the rent in Massachusetts is very high (though I where I live right now rent is at $850 for a nice 3 Bedroom) but its 1 hour away from Boston and the coast. We also have high taxes in general. High cost of living :'(

Here are two shots I've taken around the Hull about two years ago...

This is a cemetery overlooking an island full of rich people

And this is the tip of Massachusetts (theres an actual school to the left, outside of the frame).

And I don't know if you've dealt with Winter weather at this latitude but its a bitch, this happened just a day ago...

Worcester, Massachusetts. Though it even depends on the areas within. In some areas its can be $1,000 but in others as low as $600. Basically Central Massachusetts won't be as ridiculous to rent as stuff on the coast.

It is. And Holy Cross actually has a baseball field now where the Worcester Tornadoes play (not sure if it was there 7 years ago?). The City Counsel here are trying to make Worcester hip too as if having like 10 Colleges in the damn city wasn't enough.

Well, the only reason I'm interested in MA is a movie studio that may be opening up and because I feel like New England is where I'd be most happy. If that doesn't plan out right I'll have to move to LA. The reason I'm so keen on moving to MA is because I DON'T want to move to CA.

Here's an update on that studio I'm interested in.

Thanks a lot, asshole dog.

I know I've said this a million times but I HAVE to stop drinking. Or at least actually have a long hiatus and stick to it.

Had a bender this weekend, as a result I'm really depressed right now, just as a result of being hungover (and spending money I didn't have when I was out drinking). Had an awful sleep last night, was in a cold sweat for hours and woke up soaked. So depressed right now I skipped class this morning. I'll head in this afternoon but.

But goddamn do I feel worthless right now. I need therapy badly but can't afford it

I think the only way for me is to go cold turkey though. I cannot moderate myself. Once I have a couple of drinks I'll be drinking until I get smashed. The term for this problem is "alcoholism" I believe.

Theres also the cigarettes, which I would love to cut down on or stop completely, as the government has increased tobacco prices by 50% in the past year. 30g of roll your own tobacco is 28 fucking dollars now.

Argh I dont know what to do. I'm thinking of visiting KFC for a comfort burger.

I have found that the best way for me to moderate my drinking is to be broke, when I have no money I just buy a bottle of the cheapest beer they have and try to drink it as slow as possible so it last me the whole night

I find the best way to moderate my drinking is by not getting smashed. I only get REALLY drunk once a year. Every time I drink I just do one or two glasses. If it's beer, two or three beers.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #5576 on:** January 16, 2011, 04:54:04 PM »

yeah I just cant do that

It's always all or nothing for me. Just gotta say no altogether, and thank myself in the morning for not being hungover.

God I hope I can stick it out for a couple of months at least. I've said 'cold turkey' so many times but I keep on flaking.
