    Umm. I can't believe this honestly.. but I have to Update this thread AGAIN. I gave up on the car yesterday- of having any chance of selling it whole- my plan was at lunch today to gut this sucker like a fish. I pulled down the CL ad for the car, and spent a bit of time last night pulling the rims/tires off of it and getting it ready to go to the yard.
    This morning at 10:37 I get a phone call. Guy says "Do you still have the car?" I thought "WTH? ad is gone, I'm gone, I'm all done with this thing.. wondering how he got my number?"

    So I said "I have it- it gets gutted at noon. Told him rims and tires are off, one wheel was a blankety blank and it busted 4 of 5 studs off. He said "I want it" so I tested him a little. I said- You'd have to come and meet me right away, I can't wait to finish this thing, it has to be done now" He hopped in his truck, met up with his dad.. they went to the bank, showed up with my asking price, helped me jack car back up to put rims back on- I gave them title and keys- they are on their way home to get a trailer to come back and do the swap.



    I'm STUNNED.. This is perfect.. I'll need to do more good deeds to replenish my Karma that just came back to me like gang busters!

    The Cavalier is SAVED, IT will RIDE AGAIN! YEEEEESSSSS!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Sledge, I have a system to prevent a comeback like that which thwarts any more interest in a vehicle. This was purely unintentional but..............I was going to take my van to weigh-up so I started throwing junk in the back and then we had an issue with a new dog so I was locking him in the van at night to prevent him running off. He was fine for a few days but got sick of his new jail and completely chewed a panel off of a side door and started on the headliner. It wouldn't matter to the people who claim they want the van as they only want the engine but I still haven't heard from them.

    So you recycle steel toed boots huh? I wonder if there's a market for the lead in my pants.
