Out looking for a new project car today

Out driving around looking for a project car today & here's what I found all with in 2 miles of the house

 

sweet....jk lol..no pics bro..

 

Here's the pics

 

Your trailer park is cool, less the fox body tang.

 

Let me guess; you ask people if their car is for sale when it has no sign.

 

Not much HAMB-friendly material in your neighborhood, I see.

 

You went looking for a project car, and found other peoples..... cars?

 

At least you could block out thier tag numbers when posting random pictures on the web.

 

All with in 2 miles of the house. Not my trailer park . & yes I ask if it for sale or leave a note on the car . If you don't ask you wont know all they can say is no .Most people are nice & like to talk about there cars.

 

This is gonna be good!

 

Between my last house and this one, I've been approached over 100 times in a few years about selling a car or truck that didn't have a for sale sign on it. Every time was someone who didn't even want to offer diddly squat, they wanted me to spit out a price, then they wanted to mumble, then they wanted to go home to Maria.

-nice, but tired.

 

Stop cruzin the trailer park! CREEPER!

 

Creeped me out... you could get in a world of shit if someone saw you and took it the wrong way. I'd find another hobby.

This is why I have no trespassing signs posted all around my property. I had my 55 Chevy Gasser out from behind my privacy fence one day, I was talking to my friend, a guy pulls up in my yard opens the door on my 55 and sits in it, I walk out of my backyard and ask him what the hell he is doing. He says I want to buy this car. I say it's not for sale and I ask him if he can read, he looks at me perplexed and I point at one of my trespassing signs that has a picture of gun pointing at you, it says " Forget the dog! Beware of the owner!" He is real lucky I was in disbelief that he was in my car. Needless to say when he saw the sign he realized he needed to apologize and leave very quickly.
My advice is: talk to the owner before going anywhere around their vehicle, especially if there isn't a for sale sign on it. That shows respect for their property. If there is no trespassing signs posted: Keep Moving. They are there for a reason.

 

I saw some cars at the Wal-Mart parking lot too.....

 

The guy took the picutes from inside his car on what seem to be public roads and parking lots. I don't think the OP needs to be shot for trespassing just now...
I don't see every license plate blanked out when people post thereads about car shows, license plates, etc. Too much paranoia.

 

Ever see youtube or google vieos shot on the public roads?
Yah he's paranoid, maybe he removes his plate whenever he parks his car.

 

When I'm at a car show, or parked in a parking lot, I'm fine with having my car photographed, and maybe being asked if it is for sale.
When I have a car sitting in my driveway, I don't expect to have someone driving by, sneaking pictures of it without stopping. If they do, I'm going to get VERY suspicious, and probably write down their plate number. I sure as hell wouldn't appreciate a total stranger walking up to my house and asking to buy a car he SHOULD know nothing about, since it is sitting on private property. If he's going to ask about buying it, I'm going to assume he's going to offer scrap price, or he's really not interested, and just using it as an excuse to go snooping around my property. I know I wouldn't just buy a car, because I liked how it looked from the street, and have yet to look it over well. I may be paranoid, but I call it being protective of my property.

 

Get that Mustang, I hear those are rare.

 

people here are weird sometimes. if the first couple posts were something about the vette or the shoebox Ford that is how this thread would have gone.

instead people want to shit on this guy for no good reason.

what the fuck do people think can be done with a license plate number from a photo on the web? idiots.

we have threads about "hoarders" who won't sell when asked and now on this thread it is somehow bad to ask someone if they want to sell a car.

we need another jesse James thread to keep all you guys busy.

 

What is all the fuss about lic. Plate numbers, anyway?

Thats some funny stuff right there. Amazing how some threads go isn't it.

 

You guys need to eat a bowl of "take it easy" for breakfast!

 

I heard there are some good fox body forums you could join... And spare some of us the jokes for the day....

 

Hey WTF...I just searched Jesse James and found this thread!

 

I guess you are talking about a nice looking, registered car in your driveway but how many threads on here show an old car sitting beside the barn that someone here has photographed and posted "I am going to stop and ask about it next week."

Oh wait, I guess that's ok for a rusty, unregistered '32 but not for a nice Subaru WRX.... please tell me the cut-off year so I don't go making people all suspicious or is the cut-off between registered / unregistered?

 

I think there's a pretty obvious difference between something that looks like it's parked for the night/short term, and something that's been sitting for years. The cars that are shown in the OP pics look like they were parked there the night before.
TO ME, if it looks like a current driver/project, I wouldn't waste the guys time asking if it's for sale. Something that has been sitting for years would be fair game. The reality is, if it's sitting there without a for sale sign on it, 9/10 times it's not for sale anyway.

As far as the picture taking thing, call me paranoid, but I don't care for people I don't know taking pictures of my stuff, or my family. I guess I watch to many spy/cop shows or something, because if strangers are taking pictures of someones stuff, bad thing usually happen!

 

If I didn't ask I would not have this .Guy was getting ready to put it on craigslist . Bought with broke motor in may 2010 driving it august 2010

 

Right on. You don't ask, you don't get.
The worse she can say is NO..

 

Close the shutters Mable ,the mailman is comming
