That car looks really happy to be there. Also, what the gently caress? Is that Pinkman's car?

I have to plan on only being able to part it out when I find out there is a lien on the title and the owner is dead with pending debts on the estate. Not replacing a $5 part to make it a running car before you sell it is the biggest WTF warning there is.

Yeah; if I were closer I'd be interested enough to pull the cap off my Lark and go over just to mess with him. "Oh it needs a distributor cap? Well it just so happens I have one here... You don't want to try it? Why not?" I mean, it takes about as much effort to order a new cap from Rockauto as it does to type that sentence about the distributor cap, and then you have the mystical "runner". Assuming he's not doing the typical Craigslist "ran good just needs a tune up" thing and the motor is shot. Edit: I mean poo poo, he's only a few miles from Studebakers West, one of the only Studebaker shops on the west coast. I'd push the bastard down the street to them, get it running, and sell it for an additional $2000.

Pham Nuwen posted:more like the sweatiest hipster Ugh, thats really clean. Even if the motor is toast, you could easily swap in something else to make the "resto-mod" or whatever people call it now. Just the title poo poo is a pain in the rear end. I am kind of willing to do the leg work of getting all the paperwork lined up (its online, pring it off, take it in with 10 bucks) if they want to just go to the DMV. I remember I lost the title to my old car once and it was a 10 minute process to walk in, hand them a check and walk out with a new title. The ones that truly know the title is hosed usually just don't deal with it.

BoostCreep posted:Super rare factory turbo Mirage. Cheap too! I have a feeling that the "transmission work well" as long as you double clutch into 2nd. My dad owned 2 of those and the synchros were always dead on second gear. Still, I would love to find one of the previous generation ones. The older boxy body looks way better. I might have posted about this car before, but this thing is really pissing me off WTT/ WTS 1988 MR2 Supercharged 4A-GZE Clean RWD - $4200 (Seattle)  I know this guy paid ~$3k for the car(it was listed on the mr2oc) and I was about to pick it up myself before it got sold. Pretty sure it is still registered in Oregon, since he nicely does not show the plate and the PO never transfered the title to Washington. I just don't get the mentality of someone who would buy a car just to try and trade it for something else. slurry_curry fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Mar 13, 2014 |

So, some dude offered me a straight trade, my 1996 Suzuki Bandit 600 for his Labrador 143 with a 55hp Johnson outboard (trailer included):    Goddammit man, having a little boat to tootle around in would be awesome. And very expensive, I'm sure.

Nah not necessarily. My family has an old straight 6 i/o Wellcraft Elan that's taken nothing but oil and gas since like 1987 and it still pulls great when we take it out for the summer

That's a cool looking little boat - A guy who knows nothing about boats The only thing I really know about boats is that outboards are at least easier to work on (though absurdly expensive to buy new).

Easier than what? The space shuttle? Sure they are simple, but every single one of those fuckers is haunted by Indian ghosts. Also, you have to set up a saw horse and a trashcan of water to actually test them. If you work on them in while attached you will end up dropping your carb in the lake. I guarantee it. Make friends with boat owners. Never be one yourself.

Boat owner ship includes the day you bought it and the day you sold it. With that being said, my old crestliner needed nothing other than oil, gas, and other "basic" repairs which included winterizing, keeping the lower unit full of fresh fluids, and an distributor rebuild (new points, weights, condenser, etc). The Mercruiser Alpha series has been around since the dawn of time and are easy to deal with. Other brands are a "proceed with caution" Outboards are haunted by voodoo, leprechauns-not the good kind, the ones that want to kill you, and Satan himself. When outboards run correctly, they pull like a loving freight train and never stop. When they don't work, you might as well kill yourself.

As a former boat owner, listen to Tai-Pan's advice. Boats are fun but expensive to own and operate. Unless you plan on going out on it every weekend (all boat owners plan this but never do, so really think about your planned usage), don't get a boat. You can usually rent a boat and it will be cheaper than if you bought one. You could take monthly fishing charters and still pay less than your boat loan/gas/maintenance would be each month. If you have a friend with a boat and they invite you along, chip in for gas, bring the ice and drinks, help them clean up the boat afterwards. It's much cheaper for you and they will really appreciate it. Plus you will get invited back multiple times if you do this.

Yeah, I skipped on the boat. One of my colleagues has an old wooden fishing dinghy that we've pootled around the harbor for fun in. It's much better for sailing out and getting drunk in, plus I don't have to maintain it.

If you want to get into sailing, head down to the local club and see who needs crew for racing. Someone always needs crew, and from what I've seen sailors are happy to welcome & teach new people. Bring beer and you will be forever loved.

E: hes still got it, claims someone gonna look at it sunday at 2:30pm and some bullshit about first come first serve. So i'll be there in the morning.
