What's funny is that the picture you provided of a LHD model is actually a RHD that's been mirrored. If you crop and create wallpaper on your link, you can see the numbers on the speedo are backwards. Also, using your second link you can just barely make out a gas pedal in the very corner. Also the speedo and tach needles are in the appropriate place (lower left so as to turn clockwise).


Edit: The pics in the original CL ad are authentic, sorry.



So wait - the speedo and tach are on opposite sides of the dash, both not in direct field of view?

I'm not sure what good he thinks it will do anyone. No place that needs it is going to have port facilities to accept it right now. And it could be another 1200 years before this happens again. And a truck like that isn't suited to most Japanese roads, even rural ones. And there really isn't a shortage of trucks in Japan.

Maybe you could make a case for a Mog with a tank.

4-cylinder non-turbo diesel Mercedes with a 4-speed?

Be prepared for the slowest car you will ever drive. Seriously, my parents had a 190D with the 2.0L diesel and a 4-speed, the fastest we ever left an onramp was at 80kph and that was a huge-rear end long downhill onramp.

Unless you're used to driving around earthmoving equipment or something similar, you will not believe how slow that car will be.

Instead of a tach it has a giant clock. True story.

Yes, they're slow. No it's really not that bad. I drive one every day. I get 30mpg on the button, never more. Sometimes less. Lowest I hit was 24mpg and that was during the coldest week of the last winter and I had a fuel leak at the number 4 injector. If you are looking for something to slag your way through rush-hour traffic in comfort without great expense, get it. If you are looking to run 70mph down the highway for long periods of time, don't. It'll do 85mph, but they don't really cruise well much beyond 60mph.

I just got an email a few minutes ago...

"your email with craiglist has been changed to"...and my current email.

I know there is a big scam going around with this, but the link was actually valid.

Thing is I never had setup an account with CL before. So I jump on CL and hit the forgot password button, minutes later I am resetting the password on someones hacked account.

found a whole bunch of obvious scam listings, all the text was embeded in an image, like this one..

http://i54.tinypic.com/34ytr3o.jpg

So I went and deleted them all. Looking at the history it was some guys acct nearby that got hacked, and they started posting all sorts of scams on the acct. No idea why they changed the email to mine though. I am pretty sure I know the guy who got hacked, his email is one additional letter but otherwise the same, I get his email all the time....

truck was listed for $2200, BTW, but ill take $2000 for it.

If they were smart they would make it look like craigslist sent you that email, and catch your username/password when you went to 'recover' your account. but I'm paranoid :tinfoil:
