Wow, there's a LOT of stuff on FB Marketplace!!

I found Firm's new car...only $17,500 - I'm sure he can talk them down.  Been for sale for a while it seems. Then time to start popping out babies.

How about a low k Vette?  Knock it down closer to $10k...could be a deal.

Me too, but I feel like those stripes don't work with it. It would look better if they were dark.

Here's black stripes.


I prefer the white.

See...that looks good, even if they are shiny wheels. 

I know a broker who has/had (might have sold it by now) the green/black striped convertible.  Got a 5 minute ride in it, was all the time she had.  Wish it could've been longer.  Her husband has a '68-69 Charger and before the Viper she had a 70ish HEMI 'Cuda - but not a 426.  Was something like 500 + cubes...nice car.  He restores those old things for fun.

Might go see this tomorrow.


Please view this ad:

2011 Nissan Frontier SL 4X4,

Price: $ 14,000

Download the application from the Google Play Store.

You this be fixable

Edit: took  it for a test drive last night.   O boy it's been a while since i drove a truck. driving a stiff frame down the highway and an old 5speed tranny. Beside the small dent/rip on it the truck looks mint but it think i need to test drive a ridgeline.  what you guys think of the newer GMC Canyons

Got a couple of friends with Canyons and they're just ok imo.  Worst part is rock hard seats.  Ground clearance sucks as well.  Not as much torque as the Frontier either, especially down low.  More of a carish truck, which is great for a one car solution.

Canyons with the 5cyl are to be avoided, and Canyons with all other engines are to be avoided. They are not built right, and the GM shop I worked at had them in all the time, engine replacements, transmission recalls (PAWL problems, like locking in park while driving on the highway).

Just avoid those trucks unless you like FGC reliability.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.
