Cleaning out the garage and found these oil filters. I had bought them for the wife's old car which is sold and gone. These definitely fit a 2001 Honda Civic. Pick them up in East Brunswick and they're yours! One Bosch 3323 and one Fram PH7313. PM me or email me at Led 1013 at aol.

Reducing the weight of the car is way more effective than a CAI or spark plugs. But I imagine the Corolla is already pretty light. You probably don't want to be tossing the spare tire and jack just to get an extra .5 MPG.

Sweet!! I like the upgrades. What kind of front sight is that? My Loaded came with 3-dot Novaks and I've been toying with the idea of changing just the front sight.

Aaaah ok. You should go for a build then. My personal opinion is that you should shoot whatever you're comfortable with. Once you build your ar10 you'll never have the "should I sell it" question again. I want to go hog hunting so bad...

Why not give it a shot with the M1A first? I know it's similar to the mini 14 which you didn't like, but it's worth a try. I imagine dumping the 2 current rifles and building an AR10 would take some time. At least this way you can get some trigger time on some hogs and decide the best route to go afterwards (and maybe you even get some wild hog in the freezer as a bonus!).

Pliny... mmmmm.... I have my Gingerbread Brown Ale (brewed with ginger and spices) almost done on one tap, and just put my Orange Wit on the other tap. A few pumpkin ales left in the bottle that my buddy and I did for a contest in March. I hope we win! Next up: IPA and the yearly peach sour. Oh I almost forgot I did a version of a Dogfish Head 120 that is over 21% abv. That one is still aging - going to take some time to dry out. EDIT: I've gotten away from kits lately. They're good but there's just something about making your own recipe or tweaking an existing one (there's a homebrew recipe for just about anything if you search the internet hard enough) and heading to your local homebrew shop. There's one in Boonton, North Brunswick, Trenton, Freehold. Getting fresh ingredients that aren't shipped from Cali in the summer heat has to be a good thing as well. Plus those guys who work at the homebrew shops generally know their stuff so if you have a question you're bound to get a good answer.

Easy trade transaction.

There's also a section of this very forum dedicated to building your own AR. I just remembered!

I did it, and I'm far from a mechanic. Tools needed: vise, roll pin punches, screwdrivers. You'll need a barrel nut wrench (a combo wrench is nice). Seriously, it's easy. Getting parts is the hardest part. Check out Brownells video section - they have step-by-step instructions. Also ar15.com has a "Build your own" section in the forums. Between those two you'll have more than all the info you need.

Cold but fun! I'm participating in the Long Branch plunge (usually Seaside but they switched it this year). Don't forget it doesn't count unless you go all the way in.

For the record I did say that a home inspection was necessary for negotiation purposes. A good home inspector is just very hard to find in my opinion (over a decade as a high-level loan originator). Most buyers are not going to look further than their agent for a reccomendation and I think that's the biggest issue. Good job by the OP for looking a little harder for an inspector. I agree the contractor can be a conflict of interest as well. Again it comes down to how much you trust the contractor and how good he is. I didn't mean the contractor should actually execute the official home inspection, I meant that it may be much more useful to have them go through the house and give an opinion of condition. When I bought my house the home inspection was next to useless. He missed major items (roof, water damage) that the contractor saw in two seconds. Now, that's just my personal experience which you can argue is an isolated incident. However, I have seen a lot of poor inspections professionally as well and it's a known issue in the industry. Bottom line - a good inspetion of the home is the goal so that you know what you're buying. As long as the OP gets a competent inspector who does his job, then mission accomplished.

NJ is not an attorney state. If you are confident negotiating the contract then you don't need an attorney at all. It's done all the time in South Jersey. That being said, most people want an attorney to help them negotiate the contract. The seller will undoubtedly be represented by an attorney so it may help to have one of your own. I used an attorney for my home purchase and I've been in the mortgage business 11 + years if that tells you anything. Home inspectors - I could go on all day about this. They are necessary because you may want to cancel or renegotiate your contract based on what they find, however they can also be quite useless. A competent contractor is far more useful in my opinion. Home inspectors just want to keep from "rocking the boat" with the realtor since that's where their business comes from. That means they won't be as thorough as you want them to be. Good luck and if you want any professional advise or have any questions at all, please just PM me. I'm happy to help.

This is blatently incorrect. There are multiple programs still available that offer 100% financing. Also, minimum credit scores are as low as 580 - far from excellent credit. Refinance programs through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac allow you to go up to 125% of the value of your home. OP - talk to an expert instead of listening to random advice on a message board.

Looks like 18 South just after the Uhaul store.

Verona/Cedar Grove is a good area, I have friends that live there. One of them has significantly higher taxes (neither Verona nor Cedar Grove is cheap), I forget which is more though. If you need any mortgage advice, feel free to contact me.
