Total sticker shock

[IdahoRanger]

Nice

Nice looking roof. If I ever have to redo ours, I want to go metal. So many options in metal these days.

It is standing seam with hidden fasteners. Snow and ice grabbed fasteners on old metal roof and tore the metal so updated to standing seam.

Just got home from getting the wifes Ecosport serviced. After write up I went to the showroom to check out the new and improved trucks/suvs. There sat a new F-150 Raptor R. Eyes wandered to the sticker in the windshield. only $188k. Just about had a cat.

188k! that is just clown shoes!

wasnt that long ago 188k would buy two raptors and have money left over for add ons and fuel.

in 2004 I paid $33k for a new Sport Trac with 1.5% direct from Ford Credit
in Apr. I just bought the 2021 Ranger XLT Sport FX4 with all the options and only 13k for $31k they were asking $38k and I saw it was up for a while so I Low balled a $28k on a cash offer I was only $3k away from what they had to get out of it so I got it since it already had the Mods I was going to do anyway, now I dont have to do anything but drive it
First oil change is coming up so I am going to start from now with Amsoil

I have Zero Percent Interest in financing at that price.

I thought for sure you found the Canadian price or something but, nope, it's a near $30k Mahindra right before my very eyes.

Actually, still a bargain...

Holy shit! I had no idea. Wow...

How much hail do you get in your area? A few years ago, my parents redid their roof, as did many of their neighbours; fortunately for us, we were in the group that did it after a major hailstorm. Most of those who had done it before the hailstorm had gone with metal for longevity. Not only was the sound of the hail pinging off of the metal roofs drastically amplified inside the house, but most of them had major dents and damage to their roofs as well. We ended up going with a composite shingle material (I forget what, exactly) that could absorb the sound and impact of hail much better than metal, even if it doesn't have the same expected longevity.

We rarely get hail, but I would look at the metal that looks like shingles.

Holy shit! I had no idea. Wow...

Nor did I. The Mahindra Roxor was the catalyst. I thought if that's $30k then what stops me from getting a Gator? I found out!

I moved from Texas where pretty much any kind of roof lasts maybe 5-7 years before a hailstorm destroys it to Florida where people are complaining about replacing their 30yr old roofs due to age. I couldn't even comprehend the idea of an 'old' roof as that's not something that's possible back in Texas. lol

Holy shit! I had no idea. Wow...

A couple weeks ago, we rented 4-seater Polaris side-by-side UTV's for a sand dune and canyon trail ride while on vacation in Utah. Wife and boys loved it - so we asked our tour guide the price for one: $45k!!!!

Almost exactly what I paid for my 23 Lariat FX4 earlier this summer.

Mind. Blown.

Love the sound of hail pinging off of my metal roof. It makes sure I'm awake for the tornado that's following.

I honestly have to say that thing looks like a freaking blast.
