Title: Can you resurrect my junker.......cheap?
Post by: shp4man on November 03, 2015, 02:14:54 PM
I'm currently working on a lovely  '88 Econoline handicap van. This thing is the biggest pile of rollin' shit on earth  I was honest with the guy- told him it will cost way more to fix this heap than it's worth.
He got it free, so with rainbows and unicorns flying out of his ass, he's dropped 3 grand on it so far. Not a!l with me. Last time I went out to the parking lot, it wouldn't start.
Jesus, why are people so fucking stupid?  :facepalm:

Couple years ago, my father in law picked up an old Grand Prix (1980ish); ostensibly because the pickup was using too much gas. Okay, fine; I've got nothing against a cheap winter beater- except the dude spent nearly five grand on that car ( how, I don't know), and kept it for like a year. The quarter panels were already rusted through when he got it; and it was the cheapest model in the first place (Armstrong steering and a 6 cylinder).

He tried selling it for some obscene amount of money too-it was worth maybe $500 on a good day. He wouldn't believe me.

It must be nice to always be able to pull out the trump card.  ;)
