C'mon...we just had a thread about free cars. Surely someone has something they'd sell him for $20???

I just hope he's not expecting too much for that price.

$20 isn't even enough to take your wife out to lunch, much less a girl friend

I can take my wife out to dinner on that, but a girlfriend, well I guess that depends what kind, my old girlfriend, named Caddy would let me joyride all night for $20...

alrighty then...

anyway, i once bought two 87 5spd accords for $24. Im sure between the two of them i could have made one a useable car. I sold the cats off them for $140 a piece. So find a deal like that, sell the cats for parts money, fix one car, recycle the other for cash, drive one around with a for sale sign on it until you can sell it for $400, and then have $800 to buy something cooler like a turbo minivan. I say this in all seriousness because it is all entirely possible. I parted/recycled those two accords for over $700 profit.

I would have guessed Canoe also, but he's got almost a dozen posts now, most are sane.

His profile says he's an 18 1/2 year old hustler.

Sure, send me the $20 I'll send you a car.

Its from the old boards. Canoe was the safety word in a Family Guy episode, and the idea was it would be a safety word here (or the old boards). The good folks at GRM would do a search forum search for the word canoe every (day? week? idk) and then would ban the spammer. Doesn't mean so much nowadays, there is the report post thing and such.

So you're going to get the car drunk on $15 worth of Boone's Farm on Friday night? I don't think that transfers to a rusty Topaz with a seized engine in terms of fun for the dollar.

You've probably never seen E36M3 used as a swear word on other boards either. Just another one of those unique features we have here.

I am selling my 1992 Ford Escort with a cracked head gasket. Everything is working great... except that the head gasket is cracked and it won't start. It overheated, new timing belt, water pump, good tires, 133,000 miles. Make me an offer.
