It even runs (most of the time). Okay, so maybe I should have asked a few more questions about it, and paid attention when he said what year it is, or how many miles it's got on it. But for $12.95 I figure it's a decent deal and it'll make a good shop truck. But hey, I knew my coworker was going to be buying a "new" car and so I asked "what are you planning to do with the truck?" and he replied with "why, do you want it?".

What'cha think, did I make a wise purchase?

*squint*

no, I want a little shop truck and an emergency back up vehicle

of course, having a shop truck would sound more convincing if I had my own shop

about trading it though, I'm not opposed to helping someone else out, get him in touch with me if he's close enough by to make it worth it and is willing to fix the truck, or if the person who wants the truck is willing to fix it

as I don't have my hands on it yet, and no one has had a chance to open it up and look into it, we've no clue what's wrong with it

There was this guy a couple years back that eventually traded one red paper clip for a house. Actually I think it ended as the right to live in this house for 1 year. But I could be wrong about the 1 year time frame. Here's the website. http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/
Oh the guy in the background in the white skinsuit is Tronguy. A very unique individual!! google him for a good laugh.
