another car rotting story

There is a 68-69 charger thats been sitting in this guys driveway for a few years. You can only see the car as your going over an overpass, and it would be a pain in the neck to turn around and wind your way back to the house. One day I seen a cardboard sign in the rear window, so I turned around and after 5 minuites, found the guys house and drove up to see how much he was asking for the car. The sign said NOT FOR SALE. The sign is still there. I wonder whats worse, a few people, now and then knocking on your door to make an offer, or hundreds, over time, driving slowly past your house, to look at the car they think is for sale?[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

another car rotting story

I don't mind seeing a car sit as long as the owner genuinely has the intention of doing something constructive with it besides killing grass or providing a home to mice and mud daubers. It's the ones that you know have no intention of ever doing anything but watching it turn into a brown stain in the dirt that gets me so POed. I inquired the other day about an early-mid 90's F350 dually diesel that had been sitting for years and whose crewcab was serving as a junk storage facility, but the little old lady that answered the door was rather stern in her reply that it was not for sale. Same story with the equipment trailer whose floor was rotting out.

I hope I never get that way. Everything I own has a price on it. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

I had some MORON drive to the rear of my house & "said" he saw my Spoiler from the street & asked if it was for sale. I asked if he saw a sign or if he saw the one that says" Private property, tresspassers will be shot!" Lifted my arm & showed him the .357... People take it too seriously when a car sits.

another car rotting story

I have my Cougar and wife's truck in the back yard. People walk by all the time asking about the truck [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]. Very strange they dont ask about my cougar but everyone like the truck. Its a 68 Dodge D200, 383/auto, bucket seat, dash shift black POS thats all rusted out and looks like ****. It runs awesome, just looks like crap (flat tires, saggy springs, rusted out box), but has some special chrome trim package.
