This was one of my eccentric ideas ..what was yours?
Some years ago now I seen a car on Craigs list and on a whim ask a friend to go with me to buy it ,, we took a greyhound bus which was a first for me ,,lots of interesting folks take the bus I found out ,,it was north of Spokane Washington in a town called Colville .. Not bragging here guys,,as after I did a bunch of work on it and sold it after a few short years I lost about $4,000 on it ..had fun with it though .. wife said no more cars with no roof as it blew her hair all over.. even after the hair glue hair spray.. dont tell her I said that, ok? so whats your tale like this one ..

Re: This was one of my eccentric ideas ..what was yours?
Bought this one sight unseen off ebay.
I threw a bid in just to be a playa and it tripped the reserve. That was on a Wednesday; it wasn't done until Sunday. I called my wife into the room Saturday night and said "babe - I may have bought a car" I was sure somebody else would snipe in there and steal it out from under me - but - nobody else put a bid in on it. That was 15 years ago. K

A number of years ago I bought a 99 BMW vert. Wasn't digging the in-line 6. So I did a LS6/6 speed swap. Great swap.

Re: This was one of my eccentric ideas ..what was yours?
I was hoping some would come forth and share what they got and how.. both a couple of nice finds and great stories... The young kid who bought the Vette off me worked at a car dealership as a detailer and his girl friend worked at Burger King ,, they wanted a Vette to leave in from their HoneyMoon .. He had cash to buy the car ,,didnt ask where he got it from..

Went to look for batteries a little over a year ago for my travel trailer and ended up buying a '23 Thor Coleman C24 instead.

They call these "impulse" purchases. They make perfect sense hon, really!
