drater Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 My first car was a '71 VW Thing. Left carb caught on fire 5 days after I bought it from a mechanic. He told me to get stuffed when I had it towed back to him. His rapid onset of mulitiple malignant cancers opened my eyes to the possibility of instant karma gratification.

AlpineK Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Sherri I have an 81 International Truck with a 30,000lbs GVW. It's a gas engine and it has a knuckleboom mounted on the back with a dumping bed. You could load a small shack into the bed for camping, or you could load a scout vehicle. The downside is you need a CDL to drive it; but think how impressive you'll be. Maybe I'll put a picture of it in the yard sale forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out it wasn't just naive 17 year olds that said mechanic was ripping off, the funeral was not widely attended. His son always had the sweet line on hash tho.
