Hi ya, Matt; Have much in common (intro to offroading, business owner, 2 daughters 2 years apart, etc.), I'm just 25+ years further down the road from you. My $.02 and regrets................ Put together MY setup based on my wishes/wants/goals. While it worked great for me, it didn't for our...

Small Claims search for Maryland results; https://www.courts.state.md.us/courthelp/someoneowes#:~:text=Someone%20Owes%20Me,procedure%20is%20simplified. As someone who uses our State's small claims regularly, here's some experience (Maryland requirements may vary): You'll need to provide a...

Mission Statements mean nothing. Marketing nonsense unless backed by a commitment of character. This is textbook example. This thread should be required reading for anyone considering doing business with these folks.

Appreciate your post. Common ground, shared experiences with good folks. You ever want to drop in Flyover Country to share the dating site stories and bring @Joaquin Suave along with his first hand tales of the 14 year olds "the early days", I have a friend with a keg refrigerator in his...

This is a good conversation, concede its running its course. For some of us, the core issue here are the trinkets or lack thereof. I see something else at the heart of it, one worthy of discussing, worth a minor dust up among the community in the hope of salvaging an outcome that both sides...

@grubworm, I'll bite: Have you read the thread from beginning to here? Take a look at the title/originator/purpose. @Michael multiple responses/explanations/assurances/reassurances throughout to folks with skin in the game (unlike you and me). Take a look at posts #72 & #77. The level of...

Even if ironically/sarcastically, You asked me specifically; Your reference to the "Modern Entrepreneureal Formual" isn't lost and isn't off base.........except (and why rubs me wrong); This started out being a website for comradery amoung folks with differing degrees of experience/passions...

No doubt. If you haven't, start from the first post and read the early enthusiasum/optimism/ goodwill from the "Community", the ongoing "Investor" goodwill in the face of reality and then, to here. The respectful "could you possibly, if not too much trouble, look in to the stuff that was...

As an early member and sometime contributor, a couple thoughts. These comments come from nearly four decades in private finance and what's unfolded through this thread. @Michael , @Corrie , @DavidL should each take 5 minutes, read this thread in its entirety (particularly Michael's initial...

Take a look over at Bring a Trailer, you'll see eye watering prices for nearly new (condition) 3rd gens. I've had a couple older vehicles that were insured for "stated value" rather than market. Otherwise, regardless of how pampered or conditionally clean, you're at the adjuster's mercy...

Understand your frustration, particularly the follow-up (or lack thereof) to status/questions. If past experience with RCI & Tim applies, they/he'll make it right. Let us know either way. You've expressed your disappointment/frustration to us/them. Reset the clock, you're in a different phase...

Three of the best things in life (IMHO)........ Road Trip: My home state is ranked 48th in public space. Excellent for filling the world's dinner table (corn/soybeans/hogs/cattle), lacking in topography/parks of any note. Road trips were instilled at an early age and the call has only gotten...

If doesn't affect sleep/comfort, it's level (enough).

This. Exactly and specifically This.

The rationalizing of the towing/boating/camping community can be..............."interesting". That written, never ceases to amaze people's interpretation of GVWR (or lack thereof).
