My pimpin' ride is out in the garage.

It's a 1968 Ford Mustang. I had a mechanic friend build me a racing motor and transmission so I can race it at the car shows. It's going to be way more cherry than my Mercury Cougar ever was. I picked up some chrome Cragar wheels for it. The paint was going to be blue, but blue Mustangs are so cliche. I picked out a really wild, feminine metallic color and ghost flames for it. It's going to be a girlie car with an attitude.

Pimpin yo ride
It you had it to do again (being a teen with a hooty of your choice) what ridge would you pimp out. I am a child of the 70-80s so mine would be an 82 IROC camaro. Rim it out and the sparkly black paint. Mild tint.
As soon as I drive into my garage
before I ever get out of my vehicle, I am lowering the garage door. In my community houses have been broken into just the way you have stated, by leaving the door open. It matters not where you live but safety should be upmost in your mind. I never open the doors to anyone. My workroom is situated to where I could see anyone entering my property and my front door has glass to where I can see and talk through to people and not only that solicitation is not allowed in my neighborhood. I had a person to come to my door 1 day and asked them if they read the signs saying no solicitation. Guess not. You should be more careful as a mother and you should also teach your children not to just open the doors, no matter who they might think it is.
Solicitor knocking on garage door
Yesterday afternoon, I had a solicitor walk into my garage. The garage door was open because my girls and I had just gotten home. Instead of parking out front and knocking on my front door (which is obvious), the man parked his car by our two cars, which were just outside the garage, and walked into the garage and knocked on that door. He knocked softly, and it was a kind of knock that you would think is from someone you're familiar with....the you...the one that goes something like dunt,dunta, dunt, dunt.......dunt, dunt (hope you understand that!). My 13yo opened the door thinking it was her older cousin (who maybe was locked out), but found this insurance salesman standing at the door. I should add that we live in a rural area, too, and we don't get a lot of solicitors or unwanted visitors. When she realized it was a stranger, she said something like, Oh! Just a minute...., and shut the door in his face and came and got me. I went to the door and asked him what he was doing in my garage and proceeded to tell him that I found it highly suspicious for him to knock on a garage door for his solicitation purposes. He was friendly, in spite of me being hostile, and said that he approached the door that appeared to be the most used. I feel like he was way out of line to walk into my garage. That would be like opening your front screen door and walking into your house just because you had the main door open. Kinda' the same, you know? What do you all think? He was selling cancer insurance and had handed me his business card right away. Needless to say, even if I were interested in cancer insurance, he didn't make this sale. My husband wasn't home. It was just my girls and I.
Have a remote garage door opener?
Could have scared the bajeebies out him by shutting it while he was in your garage. Only thing is, you'd be cleaning up bajeebies off your garage floor.
I have a dog that does a very good Tasmanian devil impression, spitting included, when people knock. The people can see her through the door and they usually leave a card or whatever they have and move out pretty quickly.
Garage sales, consignment stores, coupons
If your income for the prior year is below 24,000 in Calif., you are eligible for 20% discount on gas/elec. Also, if your income is less than 12,000/yr, you are eligible for food bank visits once a month which total about $120.00. It has been six years since I went down this road, so the figure may have changed.
After a divorce, major surgery and no job, I found myself penniless. I had yard sales daily. Went to swap meets and sold my things there. Also, took my finer clothes to a consignment shop. Used coupons to determine what I would be eating. Thank God, I had no children.
I think when you have kids, you really need a nest egg of some sort that is absolutely untouchable.
This sounds like a temporary situation if you price your home to sell.
I have two artificial flame resistant trees in my garage. Too bad you're not closer!
DH has to have the real thing, which I don't care for.

What color - I saw a light purple one here in the boondocks and it was gorgeous....Odd, but gorgeous...
I ride my own
I got my license about 5 years ago. I took the training course and passed. I started riding on a Honda 500 and then went to my now bike, a Yamaha V-Star 650 and I love it. I've met so many nice people and have made so many new friends over the years. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.
I ride
Got my license a few years ago. If your school is like mine, you ride nothing over a 250. But I have a 650 now and love it!!
Wow, what a ride!
I just read your story and she and the baby are so darned lucky! It is downright creepy how people can get away with saying they are something, even provide legit-looking documentation, yet are completely corrupt. I'd certainly be making a call to my Attorney General's office with her name, address, and all the info they have on her.
Please pass along my congratulations and hope mom is back on her feet and feeling better soon!
What does Pimp My Ride mean??
my best ride still is a 4-legged one.

he's getting a free ride
Why would the mooch want to move out? Basically, he gets a free ride until shove him out the door. You haven't done anything wrong. This guy will continue to take advantage of this for as long as you let him get away with it. Been there. Done that.
ya gotta know what Pimp My Ride is
If you have teens, young adults (especially boys) and be able to carry on a conversation with them on a subject they like. The kids hanging around here are always talking about it. So, I actually watched the show one day and it's wild what they can do to a regular car
There's no such thing as a free ride.
The only person making money off that guy's book is him. You can't make big bucks doing next to nothing. Anyone who tells you that you can is scamming you. Never pay for any job, kit, startup, information or anything.
I've done secret shopping. It's a pain in the backside and works out to $10 per hour or less. I've sold on ebay but couldn't find wholesalers willing to give a decent rate to a small potatoes client. I've looked into those real estate investor/house flipper programs, but that only works if you've got capital to lay down, a decent credit score and a good housing market. I've purchased every secret book and plan that's out there, but they're all lame. No useful information whatsoever.
The only way to make decent money is through education and hard work.
Yup...friends of ours think I am getting a "free ride"
I guess this means I sit at a computer "pretending" to work and get a "fake" paycheck. In my opinion, I feel that people who make these comments are truly jealous. In my case, they don't see how I can work and tend to my daughter's needs. I take her to pre-school and dance. I'm sorry for those that don't have this luxury, but if you continue getting comments like that, just turn the other way and ignore it. You know you work your tail (and fingers) off for your paycheck just like they do. That's all that matters.
Anyone ride motorcycle, have your license, etc.
I've decided to get my motorcycle license, already passed my permit test and am starting to learn to ride. I don't know yet if I'm going to learn on a 350 or a 650, but am starting to get excited. My state offers a weekend course where you go both days for instruction and training and give your license all in one weekend. My dad loved motorcycles, my sons both have motorcycles, and now it's my turn. So, satisfy my curiosity, anyone else have this interest?
I won't let my kids ride with inexperienced drivers.
On the other hand, my sister just let her daughter drive a 300 mile round trip with friends and no parental supervision. My niece has had her license for less than 4 months and is only 15 years old. The parent is trying to be the "friend" instead of enforcing rules.
FWIW, the only car accident I was involved in was with a girl who only had her license for three days. She didn't use turn signals or her brakes, just geared down and decided to stop on a 55 mph two-lane right in front of me with oncoming traffic.
Well, that's all folks. All gifts have been given. It's been a wild ride

My sis routinely makes the 6 hr car ride home to visit with her three kids and has since they

I nearly suffered heat stroke taking a bike ride in 105 degrees.

Ok, I invite you to hop on a bicycle for 15 mile ride in below freezing weather, snow, ice, etc.

Any plans for Mother's Day? Hubby is taking me on a wine & dinner train ride.
