I figure it's something like that..  I'm supposed to email him tomorrow about 1pm and set up a time to meet him at some for store..  Maybe he is homeless??  I'm surprosed myself that no one has snatched it up yet, unless it is truely a piece of junk...  I should know tomorrow hopefully...

Well, I mailed him Sun afternoon, no response till later that evening..  It worked out that I was going to be in the area today so FINALLY I managed to meet up with the guy..  Interesting character.. He and his petit ami roll up in the rattiest MK3 Jetta I've ever seen.. The resgistration and inspection had run out over a year ago... I think they could have been living out of it as the trunk and back seat were packed with clothes, sleeping bags, etc..  He apologized for being slow to get back as he relied on McDonald's wifi for service, and he'd been run out a few times for loitering...

AS he rooted though the trunk moving his various paraphenalia aside he found the header!  It was indeed an 8valve VW header, looks like it was scored from a junkpile somewhere..   Cracks welded, and RUSTY...  I opted not to support his crack habit and passed on it..   He did have a few other things to sell me if I was interesting, the first two being a bit less than legal, and the last only $10 more if I wanted his buddy to join  :o..   I've met some very cool people through Criagslist, gotten some great deals..  But this one.....  Nope, not so much...

so, basically , he was a straight up tweeker? i really hate tweekers and that would have made me sick knowing he bought rock with the money he got from the header. wow, sounds like this guy was a real winner. im glad i didnt meet up with him. i probably wouldnt have been so nice. iREALLY REALLY HATE TWEEKERS...

thank you for trying, but im glad you passed on it.

Definitely a tweeker..  I'm sure he was pertty tweeked when I got there..  Even if it had been decent I think I still may have passed..   I'm with you, I'm not supporting the habit....
