I'm not using the money I'm currently making from my roommates in my monthly budget. Half of it is going towards the principle on the house (to pay it off early), and the other half is going into savings for a down payment on the next house.

And yes, I'm still very much living like a college student. I graduated with no debt of any kind (student loans, CC, car payments, etc.), which is most of the reason why I was able to buy a house so early. This car I'm looking to buy to replace the Civic is going to be the first time I've spent more than maybe $1000 since graduating.



I figured there hopefully would be. I rebuilt the transmission in my Mustang, during which I learned that it isn't nearly as complicated as most make out. But then again, with there being millions of 4R70Ws out there, there was also LOTS of info and writeups on how to do it.



That's a good call, but I actually just did that about a year ago. It was burning over a quart of oil every gas tank (~400 miles). Turns out, all the oil rings were completely seized inside the piston.

Unfortunately, I screwed up and didn't go ahead and have a valve job done on the head while everything was apart. And now I'm reaping the consequences.



I suppose we'll see. Hopefully going to look at one either tonight or tomorrow.



Not happening. Way more money than I'm going to spend, and by the time the extra cost of diesel is factored in, it's not any more economical per mile than the Accord.
