Is there a way to put a new spin on these articles? I appreciate the effort, but the novelty of really nice old things costing the same as nice new things is wearing off, at least for me.

If this board shaped liquid nitrogen box hovering over magnets looks that incredible to you, I suggest you head to your local high school and ask the Physics teaching to show you all the awesome experiments he’s been showing students for decades!

Ugly wheels? Though I agree they aren’t the prettiest, those are RPF1’s, pretty much the lightest quality/but still low on price wheel you can get.

From my experience most people don’t mind the Enkei RPF1’s, I’ve never heard them called ugly, but there’s a first time for everything.

I’ve told this story on OppositeLock a few times, but in 2008 I had a car I couldn’t drive (no license) and was sitting in my mom’s driveway because it had an expired license plate and I didn’t want my apartment complex to tow it away.

What’s the hourly rate on that? Benefits?

I’ve moved on now. I pay other people to slam my hood, kick my fog lights while I drink a case of beer.

Sounds to be me like you need to work on those anger issues. Slamming hood, kicking car, impulsively selling, drinking a lot. I’m worried about you, man.

“I would like to buy your [insert $25,000 car here]. I have great credit - like a 459 - and I make good money - $900/mo on disability and $3000 on the side for which I get paid cash and have no proof of. I also have a suspended license, so you’ll have to put it in my girl’s name, but she don’t work, and the insurance…

I’ve probably sold about 15 cars in my life privately (so not including the ones I traded in). My cars are always impeccably maintained and obsessively cleaned, so the vast majority of those sales were to family, friends, or friends-of-friends. I’m always asking for blue book or in the case of friends and family…

My worst experience was when I sold my 96 Nissan Maxima. Like any cheap-ish used car, I put it up on Craigslist. A marine called me up VERY interested, because he was in love with this gen Maxima. We met up in a Best Buy parking lot and he decided it was the car for him. The next day we met at my bank, and he brought…

Stupidly fast, comfortable, but kind of a pain in the ass. It was my daily driver and I was always worried about something happening to it, and tires and brakes were very expensive and had to be replaced very often. Brakes were ridiculously expensive, actually.

I tried my luck doing a b series swap on my very mint 94 civic ex coupe, this car was a one owner very low miles and in great shape. I swapped a b18 with a 4.40 trans and it took me about two months working nights after work,’ everything was new, rebuilt motor every hose, sensors you name it, except the trans. I…

I once posted a fairly modified Jeep CJ-7 on eBay. The eventual winning bidder was from Boston (I was in NJ) and he contacted me several times by email. I gave him my phone number and spent maybe two hours with him discussing the condition of the Jeep, the work done to it, taking additional pictures, really trying to…

Mustard tends to unintentionally get everywhere. Especially if you smother your hookers in the yummy yellow stuff.

Did I buy a car from you when I was sleeping? I love Mustard and my friends call me mustard man sometimes. You don’t live near Baltimore do you? My wife will kill me if I have been buying cars in my sleep.

The buyer paid in dirty bills that looked like they’d logged a lot of miles in entertainer’s undergarments. And they had mustard on them. He had mustard on his face too. No other complaints about doing business with the Mustard Man (as we called him afterwards).

Hmm, well, when I was getting rid of the GTR, I was at a BMW dealer and got offered a ridiculously low trade in for it, and when I inquired about it, they said (rudely) they were basically unwilling to budge a single dollar on the trade value.

I’ve been offered :a very nice snowblower and 2 oz of weed” for both my car and my stereo. (2 different listings)

Is there a reason you never post what the asking/buy it now price is in these posts? It’s annoying to be forced to leave the page for such basic, pertinent info
