You're in the wrong country then...I throw out cabs in better shape than this...this one's faded and water damaged.

Hey! I was being polite ;)

I envy the US homes for their big garages and sizeable rooms.. for £250k will get you a 3 bedroom house with a narrow garden.. and I bet you can get a 4-5 bedroom with a garage for that inthe US?!

£250k = close to $400k US...and yep, you can get a fairly large house for that price...except in California

place down the road with 80 acres dry land and feilded with 4 beds 3 bath full basement and close to 4,000 sq foot for $105K

I watch them shows where people pay like 600K for a dinky condo or apartment in other states and they actually think there nice and roomy and it makes me wonder if they ever knew what they could get for that kinda money in michigan or other place's.

I seen where older folks where living in a trailer part and the home with lots where like 800K and here them trailers and lots like that sell for 8k all day long with no dues or fee's for whatever reasons lol.

I paid like 350 000 euro for house that is attached to another one and a small garage,  and that is not even near the center of Amsterdam (Netherlands).
In the center you easily pay 500 000 for the same. I wanna move to the US  :badmood:

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Bought our house three years ago (1200 ft² - 3 bedroom, 1 bath, large living room, nice sized kitchen, big front and back yards, huge covered front porch, plus storage building / workshop) for $42,500.

Haven't had to do much work at all on it. Prices just depend on where you live. A $700k home in California is an $80k home here.

Sure, there's nothing to do around here, but I'm a home-body anyway.  ;D

Thats awesome, couldnt do the one bathroom thing though.

Yup...There are too many people here. I would like to get out, but its good for my business, and I grew up here, couldnt think of leaving for an extended period of time.

I like that though. Everything gets shipped now adays, so its not like you need to live in a big city. Too many people in one spot irritate me anyway haha. I want to live out in the mountains when I retire.
