ParticipantGet a cat
I grew up on a farm and we had plenty of problems with mice and rats. Our dogs and cats did a pretty good job on keeping the rodent problem in check. That and traps are best bet.
This has been quite a funny thread! I think that Marion and NavyDoc need to get a room and work out their differences!!!
Too funny you guys!mixxalot
ParticipantHonda S2000
I would avoid any Audi unless it was a brand new car with a full factory warranty. As a car buff myself, I bought a used BMW 3-series with 50k miles and 2 year warranty for about 13k. Its been a fun car and fairly reliable. Have had the car for almost 4 years. Its paid off.
Now if I were in the market for a new car, I would consider the Honda S2000- its a fun fast car and not that expensive. Less than 35k and a convertible to boot for San Diego cruising. And you can rev the hell out of the VTEC engine. It sounds cool and looks great. Reliable as well. But my favorite is the Lotus Elise which does cost more about 45k but has a Toyota engine and pretty reliable and looks like a small Ferrari without the headaches and reliability issues.
For a used car- I like the Porsche Boxster- its not a bad car and can be found with low mileage for fairly low prices compared to a 911.
But as I realize its nice to have no debt or car payment and to invest so that I can buy a house when prices bottom out in the future here in San Diego and at least you get some financial benefit out of house that I car cannot provide.

Is what this whole credit mess will end up as. Once the parasite (banks) can no longer get food off the host (consumer) it will die and kill the host in the end.

ParticipantBetter to wait and save
I have saved up 60k and waiting still. Either prices fall when it makes sense to stay and buy in southern California or I am moving in 2010 to Austin or place like Raleigh, NC where tech jobs are plenty and home prices not inflated.
Let the foolish Europeans piss their money away and market crash.
