    Default Its Official... I bought a house!!!

    Margaret and I have been looking and bidding on houses all summer, and the long wait is over! We finally closed today and are joining the world of house ownership for the first time! Yeah, it has cut into racing a lot mostly because of time and a bit money, hopefully now that we can settle down a bit I can get back to racing... If Stephen isn't going to beat Ken I need to get out and give him a challenge!!!

    Next step, get the racecar to my house and get it ready for the next PROIT event in NJ

    Nice place, Ray. My first apartment was the original section of a farmhouse that was built in 1785. Good luck.

    Wow, that's a real house! And a nice garage! Congrats. Now you know how I felt over the early 2000s.

    OK---now babies, braces, prom, college, weddings! You started the ball rolling, hell you'll be as old as I am before you can race again!

    Congrats, and I'm sure we'll see you on track before your 50th.:cool:

    Congrats! Glad to hear things worked out in the end. Sounded like from what Stephen said it was a bit challenging to finally get a closing date.

    That's awesome and will be worth it in the long run. Yeah, I vividly remember those Home Depot conversations about house items. Melissa, that would cost us two tires. Here I was thinking how horrible and she's thinking it's a no brainer to get the home stuff.

    So what town is your home in?
