It's a shame there's no picture. £3 is a very good price, but if I have to take it to the metalworker's guild it could end up costing a few more shillings than I'd be willing to part with. I may send my boy down to have a look at it though.

It's setting off scam alarm bells, but it does have an old Alberta plate and the scenery in the photos is somewhat consistent with Alberta.

slidebite posted:Does this seem too cheap? Search for more ads from that Estate Sale. Sometimes, estate sales are run by companies that are greedy as hell and will spend months and a few hundred man hours squeezing the maximum value out of anything and everything. Other times, they just want to get rid of stuff as quickly as possible. There's also a chance that this is actually an estate sale auction and that's only the starting price. There's further a chance that this isn't an estate sale but a private seller pulling your chain and it's never been appraised by anyone but the owner's brother-in-law. Anyhow, the words "estate sale" and "appraised" in a classic car listing are truly magical. If anyone's selling a classic car right now, get it appraised, even shadily, and put the words "estate sale" in your listing.

Not really "Craiglist Gold" but I've been looking for a 91-92 Camaro on Craigslist and came across a RS for $1200. I emailed the guy and he sent me this pic : Click here for the full 1024x768 image. Now I have been out of the Camaro scene for awhile but isn't that rear end pieced together from about 3 different years? I asked the guy if it was a salvage title and he said the title was clean but he doesn't have one. I asked if it was hit because it was Frankensteined together. Am I nuts? You couldn't get those nasty tailights on a 91 could you? Nevermind a 91 RS. And that hatch is like a 86 or 87 right?

I emailed the guy and he sent me this pic : The wheels and ground effects match my '92. The stock spoiler matches too, but the wing was stolen off of some other year and the third brake light should be on the inside. So likely they stole the hatch off of some other year as well as the hood. The paint job looks like a pretty shittily done MAACO quality one too. Most likely it's just been redneck repaired over the years, but the bumper seems to fit well from that angle as there is no obvious gaps (unlike mine which was involved in a minor fenderbender at a stop light).

When my dad was looking for his Retirement Toy, one of the guys he worked with, a big Harley guy, kept trying to get my dad to buy a Harley. My dad finally looked at him one day and said, "Well, I can afford to buy a new Harley, but buying all the crap to go with it would bankrupt me." Dad finally bought a Honda VTX 1800 and rides the hell out of it. Much as I would like to buy a Harley, just for the novelty of it, listening to all the Harley owners I know makes me think that Harleys are like British sports cars. They spend at least as much time being repaired as they do on the road.

I have to take exception with that list. 8. Put on your wrist brace to help carpal tunnel from all of the unnecessary revving As if most Harley riders ever spend enough time in seat to get carpal tunnel. and.. 17. Starbucks gift card: This is usually your hangout--------------how tough. Maybe it's different elsewhere, but here in Wisconsin most Harley riders go from bar to bar to bar. You'll see big groups pulling up to or leaving "biker bars" out in rural areas.

Or buy a japanese cruiser knockoff for less money and higher quality engineering. My dad got a Kawasaki Mean Street/Streak (can't remember which) and that thing is way better than any harley I've ridden, in comfort and performance.

However, the rising sun would be awesome. You are right and I shouldn't let it bother me (for gods sake, one of my cars is a miata) and I will think about getting one when I am no longer neck deep in renovating a house, which suck every available penny.

At the expense of derailing too much, while Harleys are certainly overpriced compared to a Japanese bike, they feel more like a motorcycle. I mean I love the poo poo out of my Valkyrie, but it feels like I'm riding a hoverbike compared to the loud, rumbling, imperfectness of riding a Harley. I can't fault anyone for wanting one, they are nice bikes.

You can politely nod to them as you ride past but I wouldn't let anti-peer pressure influence my bike decision, unless someone else is going to make the payments. I loved the crap out of the XR1200 and would have bought one despite the crap my riding buddies would have given me. The lack of $13K lying around saved me from that particular situation.
