Did my fertility test this morning. Results already back. My swimmers are swimming swimmingly. Very surprised to see all my values above average even with all the gear I’m on. I’ll still come off it it and run fertility meds as prescribed by the clinic to help us conceive faster, and use that time to get more healthy.

I could buy a 5 year old Nissan with 120k miles for $19k but it will be worth $37.00 dollars in 2 years.wap wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 3:32 pm$19k for a 30yo Toyota with almost 200k miles?KYGTIGuy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 2:10 pm Thoughts? Buying this a bad idea?

At least the collector cars will hold their value and I only drive about 5 miles a day.
At least that's my thought process.
And maybe one of these to go with it.

MANY MANY BAD ideas... First of 19k
Second off it is the first gen V6, that 3.0 is a pile of heaping SHIT by toyota standards and it keeps popping head gaskets etc etc etc
I would look for a 3rd gen, many in my area that are MINT are around 8-12k
The 3.4 is a far superior engine with epic toyota reliability and significantly more power
It would also be a solid 7-10 years newer than this overpriced pile
Buddy of mine in high school had a five speed gen two 4R like that in really good shape, it was a dope vehicle at the time and was also like $2500.
I think it's cool, but hardly $19K cool. Gen 3 would be my 4R of choice, or a new Bro.
Congrats!SAWCE wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 3:51 pm Did my fertility test this morning. Results already back. My swimmers are swimming swimmingly.

I need to line up another test. Has Michelle undergone any testing yet? Sounds like it could be something there or you just need to more

Congrats dude, sounds like you just need to up the pineapple in your diet and according to a 'well conceived' plan.

Thanks guys! She’s had some tests done and all looks good for her too, so just a matter of timing now. She’s still stressing because “most couples get pregnant within 3 months “, and we’re going on month four. I’m not worried about it at all, and trying to get that to rub off on her, but just like the .gov, gonna

Yea no such thing... my buddy here decided to fuck 2 chicks... 1 was his fiancé who is no longer fiancé and after month 9 she claims to be pregnant... and the new poon is taking tests now after month 1... God works in mysterious ways. He could be stuck with 2 child support payments.SAWCE wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 5:32 pm Thanks guys!

I’ll just try to be the positive voice of reason and she can do her thing and I’ll just smile and nod.
