You grab a 12 pack and start to scour craigslist with every combination of cl***ic,hotrod,dailydriver...etc just to find that one special piece of iron that will make you happy
No, it's wrong when you'd like to be doing that, but instead are searching for everything needed to climb out of home remodeling hell Seriously, you should see the dust in the garage. Barely any metal in it. The wood content is so high it's disgraceful.
The only problem I see is that if you get too far into that 12 pack you might end up buying something you dont really want so bad the next day.
Dude, I just bought a project and STILL scour the ads. Gotta keep up on prices! I just found a mopar motorhome donor for a friend. He's building a crew cab D 200, and wants a nice towing motor. Cost? $250, and he's going to try talking him down! This is a complete, running big block with transmission, driveshaft core and probably enough radiator to keep things nice and cool. When you strip out and sell the fridge, generator, and other misc. inside parts, you get more storage room and the cost goes to ZERO!
I was wondering where my sister ended up. I stopped browsing Craigslist. Seeing all the things I wish I could buy and having no money bums me out.
well I did that last night (minus the 12pack) and found, quote "40's or 50's ford pickup, flathead v8 2 carb manifold all there $300. I emailed to see if it still there. I have heard nothing yet. Brakes, motor, crossmember would all slip nicely on my A
I usually find that will get one in deep sh$t. I hear these voices and then ...something follows me home.
Not at all. When I'm done lookin at the cars i go to the guitars. So far 4 have followed me home. Now if I could just find a job!!
Craigslist and coffee every morning...tools and hot rods...always on the lookout, and the price is right (or I don't buy) and it's right here....right now...no waiting for shipping, or inflated shipping and handling, or "not what I thought it was". I love running around picking up bargains...and you get to meet people with similar interests usually. I bought a spare 7gal portable air tank for a guy. When I drove over there to pick it up, he had several boxes of shotgun shells and br*** cartridges along with primers, powder and ***orted stuff for reloading. I dont' reload (too lazy/too sloppy) but I have several friends that do. I bought the whole shebang for $10, took it out to the hangar and gave it to friend #1 and told him to disseminate as necessary. Craigslist is just fun. Plus...you get to see just how illiterate many people are. How anyone expects to sell a Wheel Barrell is beyond me. They may "habla" but they sure can't spell worth a hoot. I sold a whole bunch of hot rod parts here over a period of a few weeks while I was cleaning up the garage and making space on my shelves. I don't charge much, as long as it goes to someone that speaks hotrodese...and isn't just going to flip it at the outdoor auction. dj
Craigslist is like my newspaper in the morning. I've said b/f that I wish my computer had a breathalizer, but I did score a good deal while drinking on ebay last night. The 16 hour round trip was really sobering this morning though.
I hear that! Its been 7 months, and I still havnt woke up from this nightmare. What ever happened to ****in in a bucket out back, and showerin at a truck stop? ah, the things we do fer *****
We got 'em both ways here. I like a nice bottom raker and folding top tooth. Accordion lips are a plus. Rare...... real rare
Ill tell you whats really wrong.Thinking your at a strip club while reading Rod and Custom Now thats wrong................................................................................................
well i don't need a 12 pack to dig up cars on craigslist around the USA that's the easy part it's a sickness laying down the bread to chase down those beauty's gets spendy, the last two were in North Dakota & Montana the one before in Wyoming
