Wait, I don't think it is possible to not get a perscription for weed in California unless you are on some watchlist for reselling illegally or something. When I was out there, I found pleanty of resellers if you are an out of towner that it isn't worth getting a card just to smoke a few bowls on vacation.

Also start a should I buy a mr2 thread so I can steal the answers for my own greedy purposes. That particular one looks pretty bad for that price, every car on craigslist that has a ton of miles was just rebuilt 1000 miles ago, because people normally spend a thosand dollars to rebuild a car engine then immediatly turn around and sell the car for 1500 bucks.

Craigslist $1500 is usually like $750 cash. I'm going to go check it out tomorrow. I have a guy coming to give me $1200 for the motor/tranny out of my corrado (hah!) so I might go straight to the MR2 guys house and buy it.

Do some people just have so little time that they can't be bothered to spend more than three minutes crafting a listing? Or are they still stuck in newspaper classifieds mode and have to abbreviate everything?

I dunno, the example is pretty much the perfect storm of Craigslist. If there was a nude picture of his wife, then it might be a bit better.

I think he's saying he's replaced the motor and trans, and that it will drive now (whereas it wouldn't previously).

1971 GTO Judge Wagon - $19995 (Lake Oswego)

Hi I own a 1971 GTO Judge Wagon. Well of course Pontiac never made one so someone had to do it!

In all seriousness, this is a super tight high end car. It has a genuine 1971 Judge front end and 455 HO motor with functional Judge Ram Air and 12 bolt rear end.

Super interior/factory 8 track and too much to list such as full aftermarket large drilled disc brakes and many mechanical upgrades for reliability and handling.

Very reliable and has been a fun family cruiser that stops traffic.

Featured in High Performance Pontiac magazine. http://www.highperformancepontiac.com/features/0309hpp_1971_pontiac_lemans_gto_wagon/index.html
Check link for more pictures.

Many updates since article. Very low miles.

Shoot me an email if interested. Was built by one of the top GTO Judge experts in the country. Want to sell to make room in garage for new addition.

No surprises - sold by private party and a real special machine.

Thanks
