Why U.S. Marshalls?

US Marshals are also the court officers for the federal courts (similar bailiffs in a state court) and thus are tasked with enforcing federal court orders.

Is it love? Is it hate? Who knows! But you can't help wanting it even though you know it won't get you where you wanna go in life.

We had our ups and downs, but in the end we're not meant to be. This is a classic "it's not you, it's me" situation here folks, 'cause I'm tired of putting in the work needed to make it work, and I gave up too long ago to keep going. She may still be helpful around the yard (or if you throw more money at her than I will), maybe she'll treat you better. I dunno, we broke up, and I just want her to move out already.

- $1,000 OBO SOLD AS-IS! -

The good/great:
- 2000 MODEL YEAR JEEP CHEROKEE XJ 4-DOOR SPORT WITH 4 WHEEL DRIVE
- 4.0L I6 Engine
- Automatic Trans
- No check engine light / error indicators
- Full-Time / Part-Time / 4-wheel High / 4-wheel Low 4WD System with manual lever
- 50/50 Front Bucket Seats, Bench Rear Seat that folds flat for cargo space
- 2 Chipped Keys
- Aftermarket CD/Radio with Aux input and two new speakers in cargo area
- Never had any oil leak problems
- it DRIVES
- Great for XJ enthusiasts with some cash to burn or already sitting on an I6/other parts to swap
- Includes over $200 worth of planned-repair parts for the front suspension, a rear bracket, brake lines, radiator fan guard, original fog lights, and the fender flare that I knocked off with other tires that were too big.

The bad:
- Lotta rust specks around the body in particular along the trim and around the gas door
- One high beam doesn't work, but running headlamps and all other lights function properly
- Cargo hatch latch is dislodged and won't open without being held in place with the key
- The driver-side hood latch needs regular lubing or it pops up sometimes (but the passenger side and center safety latch both are fine)

The ugly:
- Ignition cylinder pins are getting wonky, and I leave a hammer under the seat incase I need to tap the key to make it turn (you can have the hammer)
- After an accident the frame is bent behind the front bumper
- There's a pretty bad coolant leak but no drips, so it's possibly getting burnt in the engine

After an amazing four-year long relationship, it's just time for us both to move on - and asap. Again I'm selling this Jeep as-is. $1,000 or best offer

I still have an irrational desire for a late 928. I am quite sure it would end up in tears, but there is just something about them. I'm a total sucker for GTs.

Hard same

NitroSpazzz posted:

That tire price is pretty inline with any modern SUV really, pretty sure that's around what we paid for a good set on the Highlander and the Tacoma before that.

928 was one of the best cruisers I've ever driven, smoother at 100 than 75 and it got there plenty quick for how old it was. The M5, e28 best M5, is also great at covering vast distances but no where near as comfortable or stylish as the 928. My 928 was cheap and came with a bunch of problems but at the time that was a bonus, now I'd pay a few times what I did and get a nice one that someone else has thrown thousands at fixing.

I mean look at this thing, it just screams "Let's go make terrible decisions"

If you're not going to make terrible decisions in a Porsche then why did you make the terrible decision of getting a Porsche?

Rebuilding old school busses into various degrees of RV and service vehicles has been a thing in the Midwest since at least the 90s and if the build was right, people paid. I knew multiple people back in college who had old school busses. I'm guessing this finally bleed into the overlanding scene from either the cycling or automotive racing worlds.

I keep threating my wife I'll get a van-based minibus as a beater truck. I might actually do it one of these days.

Yeah the Aging Wheels guy has been converting an old bus into a combination car hauler/RV. Looks like a decent project if he ever finishes it.

currently looking for a car to replace my 2004 Volvo S60 that was too good for this world, came across this gem: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1045553545980395/

This thing is a compilation of every high idea you've ever had on 4 wheels. At this point all it's missing is laser beams and missiles. Supercharged 450hp/450tq, lifted, mud tires, freakin solar panels to power a beer fridge in the back, air compressor to air you back up, 360 degrees of led lightbars. You will NEVER come out to a dead battery and ALWAYS come out to ice cold beer in the trunk, even if you don't drive it, it will ALWAYS stay charged. I've yet to find anything the onboard 3000W inverter won't run. Yes the snorkel works, yes the solar works, yes its a lifted mad max cop car. Yes the supercharger kicks rear end from a dig, yes it chirps 2nd on 33s. I recently started a job where I will never be home and won't really need a car for the next 2-3 years so I figured I'd sell this.

There's like $15,000 of stuff on this thing:

The real nerdy stuff (I'm going to keep this stuff unless you want to add an additional $2000)
ICOM IC-7100 all band all mode HAM radio
Little Tarheel II screwdriver antenna
dual band 2m/70cm antenna
smaller dual band antenna that I was going to use for APRS
Garmin GPS antenna for the ICOM
Cradlepoint 4GLTE modem (this thing is surprisingly expensive)
Low Profile 4G/Wifi/GPS puck antenna wired to the cradlepoint

Facebook won't let me put a proper price, so I'm asking $10k Honestly come check it out and give me an offer, cash talks. The value I see in it is the accessories I'll happily pull off and use on my next vehicle, and the exhaust and supercharger kit that will net me at least $5k in a days worth of effort.

Depends. A GM product that "functions as it should" has no air conditioning, seven different warning lights on but nothing else in the gauge cluster works correctly, and the leather has crumbled away to nothing. It is their natural state.

A Ford that "fais" has holes in the hood where half the spark plugs shot out. The transmission changes gears, but each shift results in spilled coffee and seat belt bruises from how hard the vehicle bucks.

A Toyota that "fais" looks OK, everything works, but the structural components have rusted away to nothing.

A Chrysler has bald tires from failed front end components, but it can't be fixed because the fake chrome lug nuts can't be removed. Oh well, the transmission doesn't work anyway.

A Volvo that "fais" will be in decent cosmetic shape with little rust despite bein 20 years old and never having been south of the Mason-Dixon line, the head unit will have been replaced, and the odometer reading is north of 200,000 miles. The last oil change, before the one done at time of listing, was during the Obama administration.

Transit tags if you want to do it right and not be hassled. Otherwise depending on the state you have a grace period between purchasing the car and plating it. DO NOT bring a plate from another car you own and slap it on there for the drive.

MA's laws in this regard are so convoluted and contradictory that the easy answer is "lol just get it transported"

just move to a better state, then all these problems simply go away.

Normally I'd argue on the grounds of the fact I'm in a metro area that actually has a transit system but lol it is the MBTA in tyool 2022.

(I've moved since I last talked to you and have a job in downtown Boston now).

Now I'll just argue on the fact that MA is the best state to live in if you're transgender. And I'm transgender.
