If you use Facebook and you are not a member of a local buy/sell group I urge you to join one. The scamming and blatantly stolen items for sale make the experience incredibly entertaining. Some dude is losing his poo poo because he bought a "Snap On" toolbox and when he got it home he discovered it was a Harbor Freight box with a Snap On sticker. And the only reason I'm not shaming him is his sister is a friend of mine.

The ad said it was a $1700 Snap On box.

I'm currently ribbing his sister over it. It's kind of hilarious.

idk sounds like victim blaming for blatant fraud

Would you buy a $1700 item without checking to make sure it's legit?

I never said it was okay. The buyer being an idiot is what amuses me.

really he shouldnt be complaining on facebook if he wants to solve the issue. confront the seller or extract revenge with property damage.

did he actually pay 1700 bucks?

The picture showed a $1700 box from snap ons site. He paid less but it was a very cheap HF box he actually got.

LoL

The seller claims he sold a legit SO box and the buyer is trying to gently caress him and...

well, knowing [brother's name redacted] the seller is telling the truth

His own sister says it's quite possible. All the posts are deleted now, hopefully he goes on an insane rampage.

Brother is doing drugs again. He was acting funny wednesday night. Eyes were like slits, kept rocking back and forth, talking about reaaally dumb stuff. Poured himself a drink and let it sit for 20 minutes while taking one sip. Seemed the same way on thursday night and me and my dad knew he was on something. My mom came home from her night shift, found him downstairs watching tv asleep with spilled pop all over. Ended up finding needles and heroin packets in his room.

Sooooooooooooooo stupid. He just came off 3 years probation less than 3 weeks ago. Not that he stopped using drugs during that time.

edit: cute dog tax

Sorry buddy. It's worse because you can't just cut off family.

Went to the Auburn Douchenberg auction today.

Found the best car

$2500 OBO i about died laughing.

If he'll take $1200 or less I might

It had rust at the rear of the driver side rocker and two or three hand sized dents. Interior as shockingly clean but very worn.

The auctions make everyone think their poo poo is gold. We saw so many crossed out prices with OBO under them today, nobody was buying anything in the car corral.

Darchangel posted:

Yeah, that's definitely a proximity effect.
$2500 is a bit much. Maybe $1500.

His crossed out price was $2800. I didn't remember to check the mileage so unless it was crazy low I stick by the $1200 value. They're pretty common around this region.

Edit: Oh yeah, so after the auction I jumped on the highway and went to IKEA. I got detoured because of a wreck and cut across a state highway and ended up passing a BREMBO facility. I pulled in and wandered up to the office and asked if they gave tours but not on Saturday so that sucked.

West of Jackson? That's where they cast and machine their rotors. There's also a corner assembly area for the GT500 but that may have changed in the past 5 years.

I was heading towards Jackson so that must be it!

A BP swapped Festiva is too cool for Douchenburg.

Dad has to have open heart surgery. I might be freaking out a bit.

InitialDave posted:

I can't see a Festiva and not think of a Kia Pride. I mean, they were pretty terrible, and I don't understand how the US versions can be much of an improvement. Is the love of them just down to the US not getting all the really good small 80s cars that everyone else had?

Yeah, our small car selection sucks.

InitialDave posted:

He's considered a good enough prospect for them to want to do it, so chin up, dude. Surgeons are arrogant bastards and they do not like losing, if they've decided they want to go ahead, he's likely going to be ok.

This is what he tells me. I'm still worried.

Congrats, that is a gorgeous kitty.

One of the local car idiots that seems to plague every enthusiast gathering crashed a bike on the interstate last night. From what I understand it was his 5th or 6th time riding.

Pro-tip, if you need supplies for the hurricane, you best get to the stores ASAP.

Homedepot is bringing out pallets of plywood and their being emptied as soon as the forklift leaves.

This is gonna be bad. Are you in the line of fire?

Yeah, the last few days of the school year (especially in lower grades with no exams to study for) where you'd just dick around watching movies or they'd open the gym and do bigass dodgeball games and poo poo? Those were your snow days if it didn't snow.

Local school district schedules every monday in April off to make up potential snow days.

Power was flickering, just watched our transformer blow. Looks like we're dark for the long haul here in Longwood.

Lights are still on down the street for now, so hopefully it'll be a quick fix once the storm passes. We've got lots of aux batteries, including my bigass laptop battery, and the stove is gas so we can still cook.

I'll mostly be in ultra low power mode on my phone but I'll check in periodically. Catch you on the flip side.

Be safe my dude.

Welp. Survived the storm, but no power for a week it sounds like.

Couple of trees dell down, one managed to snag power lines and poles.

Another guy down the road had a tree split in two. Half went in the street, half on his house

Just glad you made it through unscathed. So far it looks like all AIers made it through okay with minimal damage. My fiance's best friend has been unable to get in touch with her mother so that's frustrating us a bit.
