    Going to load up the truck this afternoon so i can head out early in the am.
    Come by and buy an armload of old car magazines and other stuff from me . It is time to start christmas shopping for the gearhead in your family.

    i sell or trade on cool stuff or firearms , ammo , or reloading supplies or equipment.
