Selling

Post by SirBrickWagon »

Hi all, I've made the decision to sell my car.

I would keep it but unfortunately it's a car that costs a bit more than I was expecting in the long run. It's been great meeting new people through this car and learning more about it! I feel like this car would do better in the hands of someone who's more experienced around these cars, and who would truly appreciate what a great car it is.

also my neighbors hate it

Here's the link to the kijiji ad in case any of you are interested!

Is your wagon rusty or does it have an obnixiously loud exhaust?
What else could bother someone about someone elses car? Even my multi millionaire neighbour loves my fleet of p80s ...

My neighbors objected to my water heater colour, so I painted it to match the shutters.

Since when does a " neighbors " opinion about your car matter ?? I would not so politely suggest that your note writer stay in his / her lane.
Unless they are willing to buy you a new one.....

You could also show whomever abscates pic, and say that " your brother " has some suggestions. :)
