    Do you know people who are likely to lose their homes?

    If anyone I know is at risk of losing their home, I don't know about it. I know 1 person who's considering walking away from an investment condo because it isn't making him rich like he expected it would. I know a couple who just listed their home for a (IMO) wishing price. I have no reason...

    No matter which index you use, they all say we're back to at least 2003/2004 pricing

    1996 is probably about right, just from looking at index graphs. I think pricing was last "reasonable" around 1998/1999. If prices go back to 1998 + 3% compounded, I'll probably be willing to buy.

    Behind the Orange Curtains

    I live in LA and don't mind the traffic at all. 3.5 mile commute helps a lot. ;) Are the southbay schools not good enough, not safe enough, or both? I think I've seen some pretty good test scores from Torrance and Palos Verdes.

    Alaska Cruise

    BIG +1 on cruisecritic.com. Planning is key. My fiancee planned a cruise a couple years ago for us, my parents and 3 couples my parents have been friends with since the '50s. My fiancee found things our travel agent offered for much better prices, and other things our travel agent couldn't...

    Building a backyard wall

    How tall was the wall you built? I assume in this case the wall will be close to 6' tall, since its purpose is for privacy. A block and concrete wall that tall, stretching 40', would weigh about 12 tons. Per code, it could also be less than 5' from the nearest structure, depending on lot...

    Where are you right NOW?

    Good work Graph. I see you're kicking things off right and completely endearing yourself to the family. There must be quite a story behind Cayci's comlicity. ;)

    Car Racing

    <a href="http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e60-m5-e61-m5-touring-discussion/111454-rough-shifts-m-mode.html">The thread.</a> Kind of uncomfortable to read that. Yeah, parent's car. It was the M5board, and there were 5 fatalities (4 passengers + driver).

    I saw it. It was posted all over the web. He asked how to disable the (I think) traction control system. And some members did provide the answer, perhaps unfortunately.

    Refi into a 30yr fixed when 8 years in. Adv needed

    We can probably give you a few scenarios with a recommendation or two, but something's not adding up. $245k principal and $1500/month payment @ 5.75% means you've only paid off about 40 months so far, kind of far from 7 years. Verify the numbers.

    Adventures in Gear Oil, or why my wife is a Saint (abiet an angry one)

    She's a keeper for sure! I have a somewhat similar gear oil story. I was working on a buddy's Audi, refilling the rear housing. I have a shop tool I made from large PVC pipe. about 7" diameter and 3' long. I capped both ends and had threaded a couple brass fitting into it. I use it to...
