Yes, I like odd things, but I've never even made a suggestion that I consciously choose the weird just to make myself feel special.

So, If I like weird things, and think of myself as having hipsterish tendencies, does that by definition make me NOT a hipster?
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

acknowledging your hipsterish tendencies is very, very not like a hipster

My head hurts now. This is all getting a little silly. I need to go trim my mustache and download some local experimental jazz/reggae fusion music.

I didn't realize this whole thing bothered you so much that it breaks all images you post.

I've never thought of Chimp as a hipster. Maybe it's because I've never seen him with skinny jeans, a fixie and huge black plastic frame glasses.

Liking weird things does not make you a hipster. :huh:

Only a hipster would say that. <_<

But really, liking things ironically /= genuinely liking weird things.

There's no such thing as liking things ironically.

You're either embarrassed about liking things you like and use irony as a cover, or you're just trying to fit in by saying you like things ironically.

There's also a big difference between real hipsters and wanna-be hipsters.

You make it sound like its difficult. I think you're taking the folklore a bit too far.

One last thing I want to do before I sell it is replace the radiator. O Reilly's has the stock rad for $150, so I figure I'll throw that on there since it was getting pretty toasty and the damn thing has been repaired twice.

I also want to add in a thermostat fan switch. I had a Derale adjustable probe unit, but it failed on me, so its just on a switch now.

280Z Turbo

I didn't do any of that shit, but the tank is back in, it runs, and it's time for us to part ways:

Okay shit, I had no idea it was in such good condition cosmetically. You made it sound like a crumbly dustpile.

Seriously, its not. If I had the cash on hand, a spare spot in the garage, and ever thought I'd get time for it, I'd buy it.

Soup needs to sell his Cadillac first.

No phone number in CL listing. How the hell am I supposed to call and ask you questions(that are answered in the listing) and then offer you 1400 dollars for it.

280Z Turbo

I made a crappy video so buyers can see the car run:

1976 280Z Turbo

Made a pull up to about 100 mph. Sure doesn't look that fast, but it feels like you're going about 200 in a car this old and rickety. :lol:

Hmm, sounds like it's got some bottom end noise. What's the least you'll take for it? Will you pick up the shipping too?


:lol:

Fuck anybody that asks that question. I'm not telling you the least I'll take. That's not how bartering works.

Okay, let's say I offer you 1000 dollars more than your bottom dollar. What would that offer be?
