Have you acquired any firearms?
I need to know how much I can troll from here on out

Pretty sure it was a trailer full of groceries

I do too, can't wait to get a 3" turbo back on mine. I've gotten 20's doing pure highway but thats my city/highway average.

True but I enjoy my consistent 18-19mpgs in my 6.5 burb. Its a great motor if taken care of properly just like anything else. 

It was the good engine, 7.3L

I have some Lady Gaga torrents to add to it tonight

Pics or entire story was fabricated.

Ad says he's selling because he's moving out east, otherwise it'd probably be sitting there for another 15 years.
 
"I planned to restore it myself so it comes with new fenders, emblems, and a carb kit." -riiiiight....
 
"...headers, and a 4-barrel carburetor... it goes like a rocket." -He means went like a rocket, and apparently is living under a rock because a Grand Caravan is probably faster in a straight line.
 
Anyway, if the ad is still up in a couple weeks I might take a look at it and offer him half what he's asking. It's a decent parts car.

Still too much $$

Maybe the coolant/oil mixture burning scared the ghost lady away.

Looks pretty gay, bro. 

If we drink enough of it then we are guaranteed to see some paranormal stuff!

Man I've met some interesting people buying stuff off c list. Anyone else?

I have definitely dealt with some weirdos but for the most part I have had a pretty positive experience buying and selling.  Most of the negative experiences were with people that didn't actually buy something from me anyways.

That is the saddest part about it. Europe gets all the best diesel motors. And over their manual is more popular.
My bank told me that they value a automatic transmission vehicle higher than a manual one because its what everyone wants. How gay is that?
 
That is funny that you say that. Because a few years ago. That is EXACTLY the car I wanted to replace my Jetta with. A TDI wagon AWD manual. Dead nuts. We got a smart man on this forum.
 
A big reason I want a truck also. My friend is the only person I know with a truck. All of my other friends have cars. Both my brothers only have cars. And the rest of family doesn't even live in Wisconsin.
 
Here is one that I am hoping will still be available when I go down there in 9 days. Crew Cab Long Bed (exactly what I am looking for) Fully Loaded for that Generation and it's Manual. I'll have to cut off that exhaust tip though. It looks ridiculous. I hate the way people mod stuff.

Well dodge came out with the 1500 that has the V6 diesel in it. I test drove a fully loaded one. But the 8 speed transmission was annoying.
 
And I quote "Also in that 2016 model year, Chevrolet and GMC will offer a 2.8L Duramax four-cylinder turbodiesel in their Colorado and Canyon, though these should be pretty close in price to a base Silverado or Sierra."

Man if they made an awd diesel wagon in the states with a manual trans I would buy it! They made an audi one, but its damn automatic. I imagine that to be the "perfect" daily for me. 

Otherwise I totally want a diesel half ton some day. Like a 4 cylinder turbo diesel. 

One thing I would like to cover, I think diesel has its purpose, but solely on LONG hauls. If you are hauling stuff all over the country, or haul trailers on a daily basis more than like, 50 miles, I would say it would be a good call.

Otherwise, you really don't need the power to pull around much. I mean, what the hell are you pulling that you would need a diesel? My dad bought a dually flat bed isuza for 24k brand new in 2005 i think, and it has a 6.0/6.2(not sure which) LSX motor with a th400 trans, and it has 90k on it currently, and we have barely done any work to it. 

My dad was a landscaping/contruction guy so it was a work truck, and it was definitely worked. the two times a month where he needed to haul the skid(13000lbs) plus the 5000lb trailer, it did not have a problem. Sure its not like it hauled ass, but there is plenty of power to pull it. All of this was most of the time within a 50 mile radius. 

There was no reason to pay the extra 8k for the diesel. And the added operating costs. 

I personally believe in having multiple vehicles with each of them having a good purpose(not all around okay cars). 

But dude if you are only hauling your e21 to the race track or within the state, no sense in having a diesel. ID haul that e21 with an e30. 

Long story, lots of 'right place, right time' situations.
Marquette is pretty awesome too, just hella expensive.

Very cool. I wanted to go there but couldn't affoard it.

I went no where. I'm a mechanical Designer, not an Engineer. Basically I know everything you are learning, but I don't have a REALLY expensive peice of paper saying I do.

Exactly what I thought.  You do realize there are other uses for trucks than hauling fifth wheels over 100,000lbs, right?  Uses that legitimately require the size and power of a truck, but not the grunt of diesel.
 
In your world, there would only be full size diesel duallys and compact cars, correct?  So, if I wanted to get a sheet of plywood, or pick up a set of wheels, I would have to own and operate my 50k+ diesel dually to do it, right?
 
I pulled plenty with my gas trucks.  I pulled a huge enclosed racecar trailer, and had more power than I knew what to do with, granted, I'm not denying a diesel wouldn't have done better, but on the other 6 days of the week when I wasn't pulling the trailer it would have been completely overkill.
 
I don't understand the mentality of diesel guys thinking that the truck must be pulling something at all times.  When you go buy your diesel, how will you get it home?  Will you have another diesel truck bring a spare trailer so you can hook it up before you drive it home?  If you don't you risk some douche bag making fun of your grocery getter truck and telling you to get it dirty and haul something.  
 
I've been told by many people that I don't even own a truck because it's not a heavy duty or a diesel.  I just don't understand I guess.

My dad owns a small painting business and a truck is a necessity of life for him.  It constantly is loaded with paint buckets, compressors, scaffolding, etc and has pulled open and enclosed trailers, car haulers, boats and more.  It is a 2004 F150 with a 5.4, prior to this was a 1999 F150 with a 4.6 and before that was a 1994 F150 with a 5.0... The extra cost associated with a diesel just doesn't make sense when he can accomplish everything he needs with a gas truck.
 
He just put his order in for a 2015 F150 with the coyote 5.0 and will take delivery in March which will work just fine for everything he does and still be cheaper to own and maintain than a diesel.
 
P.S.  All of his trucks have turned over 200k on original drivetrains including the 04 which just clicked over 200k over thanksgiving.

I have a big rant about diesel queers(you know who you are) coming up when I have some free time. too many damn 3/4 ton grocery getters. 

Right?  I was hoping for at least a .38 special (gun or CD)

I just had an old cat litter box open up. Would it help if I rented it out to you?
