I understand to a point the idea of not letting people post in the classifieds until they have a few posts under there belt, but these for sale ads as the first post in our regular form are getting old.
Most new, let alone SOME old users even read the 4 RED READ FIRST threads. TONS of information in there. I reread them all the time and use HIO Silver links.
Good with the bad, like a primer paint job, and a fresh rebuilt motor.
And the funny thing is, its usually crap that's way overpriced, then they get all butt hurt. I agree if they take the criticism they get a small flame. If the get like that Sheppard guy they get the Pirate 4x4 treatment.
When I first moved into this hood there was a methfreak 2 doors down. Every month after the welfare day you would see her running down the street, top torn off, screaming about how he's going to kill her and then you'd see him, knife in hand, arms and legs flailing about like an Octopus out of water, trying to run after her. The next day they would be all honky dory and doing the other side of their lives.
He had an old light green dentside with straight pipes and he would Race it at 1.30 am around the back alley loop and wake up the tax payers, it had the trashed passenger fender that these back alley race mobiles seem to collect. You couldn't work on your ruck at all, he would show up, arms crossed and he would blurt out insane dellusional statements like ' I get paid $10k a day and flown across Canada to rebuild broken down KW's' or 'I've been doing mechanics since before you were born son' ant you know he's about 15 years younger than you. But the best was that the motor in his truck is the motor he built for Kevin Harvick when he beat Mark Martin to the line at Daytona and they had to make it dissappear after the race. He sold his RARE beat up, dented, rusted out,smoking, loud snit box with the racing 429 to a mindless moron that was happier than a pig in snit that he had a truck with a racing motor that could do brake stands on gravel and makes noise.
Rumor was confirmed by his sober ex landlord that he got $3200 for it, he forgot to pay his rent with it and we havent seen him in years. Still get flashbacks of the buyer looking at me and yelling, It's a race truck, and doing a burnout in the alley to prove it.
If it weren't for the fools that buy these rat traps thinking they are getting the deal of the week there would be no need to advertise to them. I've got a 75 cs with a 79 front end "restored" snit box that runs good and makes noise and looks like an old black - n- white cop car. In reality it's a $1500 truck that looks like a $4500 fishing hook and thats the market I'm looking for. For sale to idiot, $1200 truck for $5400 obo, customer must be dopey and like noisy trucks that look pretty. If your intelligent, go bug someone else, this is for suckers only.
I live my life in Forest Harlem, the girls on the corner are looking for some stardom, think Marty Robbins. Actually the taming program has caught on and the interesting bits are gone and and it's getting real quiet nowadays.
It's not the Glebe CelticOne, but I don't like raking leaves or maintaining a brownstone,lol, used to live on 5th and Ralph. Sure was a nice hood to live in during the early 80s.
Back in my day, it was Stittsville on the weekend, Mitel ruled Kanata, Kanata was a place we went to fish for Barbots and football was played in Landsdown park. Miss the icehog grogs that got served during the Winterlude and having a 'smoke' behind parlaiment while watching movies during the spring festival. Yeah Ottawa was quite the place in the early 80s and Hull was a blast after hours. Trying to remember if it was a tractor pull or mud bog that I worked in Manotick. Ottawa was the last of my carnie/ special events, souveneir days.
