I went to San Diego for a car and all I got was these stupid pictures

[parkerbink]

I got in my truck at 5am and drove to San Diego to get a car I thought was in good condition (except for some body damage) which had rust everywhere, had a hole in the cat, had grinding brakes, dead shocks and a dead AC compressor.

I got home at 5pm.

I love
12 hour drives and 200+ in wasted gas.






One good thing Thanks Josh for the Shell MicroFiber cloth deal I got 6 at three different fill ups.

That happened to me once. Drove three hours there and three hours back and came home with nothing.

sucks. I really need to visit the damn west coast.

[ecniv]

I live right by there.

That happend to me a time or two. But that was when gas was cheaper. I tend to stay closer to home now when checking out cars.

Take the train next time. It's cheap, you can sleep, work or read. And you can get a ticket at the last moment unlike flying.

Then if the car doesn't pan out, you can take the train back.

(oh AZ to SD would be a long train ride - never mind)

Jam - it's Schenectady, and its where i live right now. Its a pretty silly place. One of my teachers told me a story about having guns fired down his street while he was in his house (this was one block of campus). It's getting better though, It mostly just has a bad reputation.

Why did you think it was a good car to start with?

Nice pics. I need to go back there.

Bummer about that 2 hun.

Pictures looked ok and credible sounding owner.

Or did you think I read an ad online & jumped in my truck & drove almost 800 miles on a whim?

[parkerbink]

Yeah trains are not fast & they stop alot. I averaged 75 and it took 12 hours door to door.

The rest is stopping for gas, looking at the car eating lunch etc.

I never thought of the train good idea for shorter trips.

Thats fucked up. Id be pissed. Sorry to hear that.

Ahh you have had the misfortune of being in my area, and yes Schenectady is a run down shit hole in allot of the city.
