In Reply to: RE: At the age of ten I asked my Dad ... posted by reelsmith. on May 06, 2017 at 07:20:51
...but not quite two years later I bought a used 1970 Datsun 510 sedan for about $1600 from a mechanic who had rebuilt the engine. I had to eventually work on rebuilding the brake system, replace the starter, and tune-ups (condenser, points, dist cap, wires, plugs, adjust valves, etc.).
It was actually fun working on cars back then but had no choice in order to keep enough money for gas and insurance. I did a lot of yard work too which is probably why I hate yard work now! If it weren't for our dog and my wife, my yard would be concrete. ;-)

Thanks for the heads up before, I mulched my lawn today with that snapper 82 volt mower. Took me only 54 minutes for the front and back. Saved a lot of time not messing with the bag, I have zoysia grass across the whole lawn. Follow the 1 time a week rule and keep it about 2 inches high.
The electric mowers are amazing, thanks again for the heads up. Will look into electric snow blowers as the technology evolves. Lol, the Tesla of lawn mowers :).
I saw the photo you posted. I like that electric Snapper of yours. It doesn't look like a toy like my green Ryobi from Home Depot!
Here's the Ego snow blower that I wouldn't mind having. HomeDepot had them for $599 last season with two standard batteries - which is probably sufficient for our place. You can get it with larger batteries. The setup is a bit pricey but not having to deal with gasoline storage is a plus, and it's much quieter.

...my Dad always said if it was up to him he'd just pave the yard and paint it green.
He was just kidding... I think.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
