Actually I got here (actually to a DG about 1/4mi from where the car is) about an hour ago then the guy tells me he is on his way from Charlotte and had to feed a turtle or something. (YCMTSU) Apparently his son was handling the messages. so anyway I talked to him and I’m waiting for him, the car is at this property in the country he bought just down the road but there’s a locked gate. He should be here in 20min or so. Apparently the thing drives as he said he would drive it to the DG and meet me but I said I could go back to wherever it is. I’m in the GL so offroad time!
He said a guy offered $3k sight unseen last night so I guess that’s my number. That’s what I was thinking anyway if it checks out. I’ll have to figure out logistics of getting it from here to wherever, I don’t have the trailer with me. Turns out I’m only about 40mi from where my daughter lives, a drive through the country. There’s not a lot around here. The nearest little town is basically a shithole. I stopped at a ratty gas station convenience store to pee and get a drank, gave the woman a fidolla bill, she gave that back and dollar 36 change. Sigh. It took awhile to get her to understand why I was giving her the fiver and asking for a one. Sigh. The crackhead in there was all chatty though so there’s that. Friendly place!
