My only worry is that it's gonna break down right in the middle of Washington in some desolate area

Possibility. Do you have a relative or friend that can give it a good appraisal?

nope

Well you buy bitcoin, so you love gambling!

F

I actually don't buy Bitcoin

I got rid of them a long time ago and transferred into other cryptocurrencies

Bitcoin is stupid and useless

It literally is only propped up because of first mover advantage

Aaanyway

I'm a filthy no coiner, so I can't talk

Can't I just look at the Carfax report?

not on Craigslist obviously

but in other places

I mean, those don't ever show anything about what Jimjoebob Shlomo did with duct tape and bubble gum to the radiator.

@Jacob Crown Vic at 127k isn’t bad, but it’s always a gamble.

Or how many nuts and bolts he had left over after overhauling the engine

I bought n old Toyota truck, and it’s excellent.

I might be carpooling the Okies to Denver in my 333,333 mile suburban. -__-'

I missed the six-digit last month. I was sad.

Don’t buy from Pedro. They fix their own stuff with bubble gum.

@Patrick Please happen! (after confirmation)
Kavanaugh is going to be so Red Pilled.

Remember the Black Hole Sun video by Soundgarden?

Should I do it lads?

I am in no position to give mechanic or automotive advice...

What are you trying to get out of a car @Jacob ?

Greyhound costs $85 round trip. If this car lasts me 5 trips, it'll pay itself off.

I'm trying to get across the state for to see Patrick

at the Northwest Forum

and keep using it for a bit

Offer the guy $150

Then go for it

ah shit manual transmission

Even better. Teach yourself manual. Burn up the clutch and become a man lol

"Been sitting awhile" means you're going to show up and it won't start

Could need new battery, or starter, or alternator...

All of the above

@Jacob you can't drive a stick??? <:sad:366743316475281408>

lmao should I buy it, drive it 5 times, and throw it away?

man card...revoked

dude I can barely drive period

lol

no one wanted to teach me

and driving lessons are crazy expensive

Become who you are, in the car...

😂

Haha!

I will teach you!

IE Driving Instruction when?

I'm an only child, no siblings, extended family lives in Poland. Who exactly is going to spend time teaching me to drive?

Jeep trails outside Denver!

i would say dad...but that might be a sore spot?

@Jacob ok. Buy me a ticket out there. I will teach you. Remember... only children unite 😬

Ya I rarely see my dad

my dad showed me how to drive during a Xmas break at college when he bought me a stick shift VW and I had to drive it 11 hours back to Savannah like 2 days later <:nervous:359009898115104770>

@Asatru Artist - MD Threw you in the pool, eh?

hell yeah, best way to learn!

Tear up someone else’s clutch

needless to say, i destroyed the clutch on the trip down, got stuck in the middle of nowhere for a couple days, and then continued the trip 😳

I love driving stick 😏

Can't make it over the Oregon Trail without breaking a spoke.

I want a Miata so bad.

So fun

Why does it say "you haul" if the car supposedly drives? 🤔

because it needs a battery & ECM

will probably run with just the battery

holy shit guys

I just got a brilliant idea

> buy one of these crappy $500 cars
> use it for 1 trip
> sell it

Not having a battery is code word for "yo this thing is so much junk we had to scrap the battery for $8.75"

yeah I would take a battery with you & take it for a spin before buying it

It's not like a 20 year old car is gonna depreciate in one month, is it?

it has 208k miles on it & its 30 years old

worst comes to worst you can scrap it to probably break even

eh I kinda don't wanna lug a battery around if I might not end up needing it

how much work is it to scrap a car if I will no longer have a car to haul the scraps?

Worst comes to worse, keep it in your backyard and slowly turn it into you War Rig

you're definitely gonna need if you plan on buying that junker

take it from a guy whos had way too many painful car experiences

okay what's the minimum I should spend on a car to use a few times and flip it?

I don't actually need a car, I'm just trying to avoid the Greyhound

you cant really flip a car tbh thats very difficult work

I don't mean flip as in try to make money

look for biohazard cars that people killed themselves in & clean them out: those are probably your best bet for money makers

oh

I mean use it a few times and sell it on Craigslist

eh thats not really how a car works man

better to have a reliable vehicle you use for 10 years

wait, like clean out the brains? 😳

ya but I'm a poor college student

yeah most biohazard cars are garbage because theyre from accidents

The greyhound is a great way to build character

just dont get a car then man

but how am I gonna get to the Northwest Forum?

@Valaska It was a proto-redPill for me.

cars are only money sinks. at the very least youre putting money into it in the form of gas, oil, tires, etc
