Project Billie-Bob: The Redneck Truck

[Soup DeVille]

Maybe $1100, if I'm in a good mood.

.....

You know exactly what I've put into that truck, so you can't expect me to give it away for $800. I don't care where you're coming from.
In fact, I'm not in a good mood anymore, so it's back up to $1200.

Say something nice about his basils sprouting

Nick, if you drink with Matt, you'll probably be in a good mood.

If you drive all the way here to buy my truck, I'll give it to you for $800 if you give me whatever you drove here in.

Oh, and thanks, my basils are really growing fast now... I'll have a whole batch of pesto in no time!

I'll think about it.


How long do you think it would take to get to your place on a 15 year old Honda Spree?

I don't know,  but could you maybe ride a Ninja 250 instead?

[omicron]

Mmmm, pesto.

[Soup DeVille]

I just checked the garage.

No, sorry, there are no Ninjas in there.

I have:

1 Spree
2 Lawn mowers
1 Snowblower
1 recumbent bicycle (Vision R40)
1 regular bike (GT- front suspension)
3 chainsaws- all 18 inch
1 barely used craftsman tool chest
1 set of 87mm forged mahle pistons for an aircooled VW
an elusive family of mice
1 complete 472 CID Cadillac motor from a '74 coupe, no carb- ran when removed, good compression.

(Many other things I'm not willing to part with)

Any of these things interest you?

[omicron]

Where did the rest of the Cadillac go?

found a svelte buick and waltzed off into the night

'Oooh, Electra baby, you're a full 225 inches'

[Soup DeVille]

Where did the rest of the Cadillac go?

Caddy heaven

I still have my '79, and I was going to use that motor, but I've decided to go with the later 425 engine- better mileage and still enough power for my needs.

The recumbent bike, yes. I've always wanted one. If you ride it all the way here from Michigan, you can have my truck for $800 (plus I keep the 'bent of course)

Oh, and if you can strap that Craftsman toolchest on the back of the bike, bring that along too 

[Soup DeVille]

Well, I have always wanted to take an epic bike trip...

I'll get back to you.

[Soup DeVille]

Well, in all seriousness if you lived within 100 miles that truck would probably be sold at $1100.

But sorry man, driving to maine for it just isn't feasible right now with the missus pregnant and? due in late April.

(Word of advice: never ask a 7 month pregnant wife if you can take a long weekend to drive to Maine and buy some pick-up you want from a guy you've only ever conversed with on an online forum when she's already hounded you to decrease the number of cars in the driveway. Especially if you just told her yesterday that we can't afford a new couch (actually, there's nothing wrong with our current one: damnable woman redecorates out of boredom).)

[SVT_Power]

how many cars are there in the driveway?

[Soup DeVille]

how many cars are there in the driveway?

Four total, two normal cars (The Civic Si and the Pilot), one project car (the '79 Caddy) and one "future project car" (a '59 Baja Beetle). The Billie-bob truck would be great as a "hauling parts for the project cars car."

That's not excessive by any means is it?

My neighbor has five cars under tarps behind his second garage!

[SVT_Power]

Future project car?

[Soup DeVille]

Future project car?

Okay, so the non-understanding, unwashed masses call it things like "abandoned" or "derelict."

Some people still think the world is flat too...

[SVT_Power]

Wait. It isn't?

[omicron]

Wait. It isn't?

Not with your DDs affecting gravity.

[Soup DeVille]

I did. I don't anymore. I don't want to talk about.

[SVT_Power]

[TheIntrepid]

Oh please do. I want to know about this.
