Oh the joys of buying or selling on FBMP. This retard is actually the little brother of a member here.

welp. fun addition to this thread. find one just south east of Peoria. i don't mind because ill trailer anything anywhere and being "that" far south leads me to believe it could be actually pretty clean.

ha. silly me. believing car dealers. stupid me.

i didn't mind the tan, and planned to get the ground effects shot any color other than burnt magenta.

i ask if there is any rust at all anywhere, namely, rockers, door bottoms, etc... he sends me this:

looks alright, right? again, i ask:

sweet, right?


I rent a trailer locally because all of my work trailers are occupied and it's just the least amount of fucking around... 3 and a half hours south, i get there pull in, park truck and trailer out back and start checking out the van.

as i walk up, hood has hail damage, whatever, that's not a deal breaker to me, i stand on the roof to make sure the roof has the same amount of hail damage and of course it does, okay whatever.

bend down, THIS MOTHER FUCKER.

Fucking cock bag took all the "look how clean it is" pics to avoid the actual rust. Fuck me.

I go to the back door...

this fucking piece of shit is like ohhhh i must have missed that from where i took the pics?

im calm... i go, oh ok. i need to get some food i think, long drive im starving. ill be back.

hop in my truck, got on the interstate, pointed her north. fuck it all.

got a kickass quarter pounder with chee at the el paso IL mcdonalds, got to see some sick storm clouds and took an empty rental trailer on an empty excursion.


Pic of kick ass burg.

well and also, i was told 3 seperate times, no rust, no bubbling, etc... got photos of what appeared to be a clean van (specifically taken i believe to avoid any visual signs of rust). i don't know what else i could have done? :dunno:
