This is a magical place of wonder where text is used in place of verbal communication. Images take the place of useless descriptions. People ask questions when they have questions. I don't want to talk to you if you don't have a question about the truck. Considering I'm selling it at just above scrap prices, it's not worth my time to deal with tire kickers...if you want to buy something, let me know.

I am in NO WAY, I repeat NO WAY connected with this schmoe. 
I'll share with you a much better picture you won't find on the web (unless Timmy decides to steel it from me) And a really cool CL story. I participate in Microsoft focus groups from time to time. For my time and brilliant input  they give me software I never really need. I had a bunch of it I put on Craig's List for nothing just to get rid of it. Unopened, licensed etc. etc. all good stuff right. I listed Project, Vista, something else I can't remember for $50. My plans were to use the money to give to a Microsoft friend who had been laid off. A guy responds and offers me $200 for each. I thought for sure I was getting set up for some undercover sting. I gave him an address a block away from where I live, walked out the door with my sunglasses on, turned out the guy was an "eBay reseller" who was cruising the city for deals, the inside of his car looked like the bat mobile with monitors and maps.. but he gave me a little jackpot and I payed it forward.

Got your email to, thanks for the input on Thunderbolt and the gear. I need to do a bit more research as well. Have a great weak.

Agree to disagree.
I e-mailed him back with my telephone number on the second response, I just deleted it from here because I didn't want it posted for the whole internet. He was just trying to get the truck for free like most scrappers try. -Tom DemonRallyTeam | Fine Tuning | CTS Turbo & RP Turbos | RalleyTuned | JRM | Meister Autowerks Spitfire EFI | Product Apparel | JVAB Imports | NLS | AP Tuning | USRT Add us on Facebook | Next Event: 2013 Olympus Rally June 22-23 Olympia, WA |
