how much gas money you gonna need to make it worth your time? if i could get that thing here for under 75 bucks i would be pumped. i dont expect you to do this for free.
I was planning on driving the VW so I won;t be needing any gas..
Or much diesel either.. Gotta love WVO.. Tenatively I think we are gonna set something up for Sunday afternoon.. THe guy has no phone so it could be interesting...
haha. no phone? he must be seriously hard up for money. or homeless. but that wouldnt explain the speedy email replys. haha... im surprised someone over on that side of the country hasnt bought the header yet for that kinda deal.
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...
if its a piece of junk (you know what your looking at) please dont waste your time on it, unless you want it. cause i dont want it if its a piece of junk.
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
.. 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....
LOL..... THe thing is, neither one of them was a she......
