Mikelly Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 ... Pro as partial trade... Last fall he bought a new Gtech pro and played with it long enough for the luster to wear off... And he had to have a costly repair done to his belived MR2... Which I picked up the tab for, but have been making him pay back... $550 of it Anyway! So night before last he comes up with Gtech in hand, offering it up for $200 knock off his bill! I've wanted to get one of these for oh... two years now! I'm gonna get me some numbers on the ole' vette, Stang, Truck, Civic, Pretty much everything we own... maybe I could hook it up to the riding lawn mower!

Jwink25 Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Do the riding mower first! Then post us before and after specs on the mods that you're going to do to it...you are going the mod it, right? With all those fast cars...you need a fast mower to.

Mikelly Posted February 21, 2004 Author Share Posted February 21, 2004 Dude, Like i'm gonna get $500 from a 16 year old??? I'll take what I can get... And I can't see to find the PRO model for anything less than $239... I can find the regular Gtech for $99-149 though... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 ah, ok... well, make him scrub all hte toilets. with a toothbrush. inspire him with R. Lee Ermey lines, such as "Boy, you're so ugly, you could be a modern art master piece!" or "5 foot 9? I didn't know they stacked shit that high!" jk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilRufusKay Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I was just at the Gtech website. Pretty cool gadget. They are saying that the new pro comp version is much more accurate than the older model. Hmmm I think I will have to add this item to the long list of "...must have..." items!! I'm with aux... tell him you will knock off $100 and he can still live rent free!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicone boy Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I got one of the cheapo Gtech devices on ebay cause they were incredibly cheap ($50). Well, you get what you pay for. It looks like a pager and it's not very intuitive. I'm sure it gives decent readings, but I have to read the manual. There's not button like "quarter mile" , 0-60, etc. It's tricky and I'd like wouldn't mind spending more to get the convenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
