Free time at work means I look for ways to blow cash unnecessarily. When I do this I come up with half-brained ideas. Besides, for this amount of money... what could go wrong?

Image not of actual car...

police officer: "it took you guys a while to answer the door..."
my roommate: "it's four o' clock in the fucking morning!"

So some fucking guy with a jeep parked in P-run had the plastic back window cut or something last night as it was parked across from my townhouse. Harrisonburgs finest wakes my whole house up and makes us come outside and "line up" so the guy can see if it was one of us that was witnessed doing it. I'm really pretty pissed about it, as they had no warrant or anything, but like 8 of them just barged on it. We have this big knife laying on the table at my house, and they go "That looks like something that could have done it"...my roommate's response "Well it is a knife. Everybody should own one."...blah blah blah...awesome way to get woken up at 4 in the morning.

A recent visit to craigslist has thrust me back into the car market. Since I know diddly squat about buying cars, I would appreciate any help you guys can give.

Anyone interested, say at 3?

For those who went to Laguna, look who we have here :lol:

Still have TONS of work to do though. Hopefully I can get it running this winter, but working outside in the cold sucks.

The title says it all. I won this in a contest at work and I have no need for it. I need money to finish the Daytona the way I want it done. So I figured I would offer this up to MM.



The Nexus is an XM unit + 1GB MP3 Player.

On ebay the Unit + car kit is $155+20 in shipping. So $175. The unit, at retail, is $150 by itself and the car kit is another $79. One year of Service (paid as a year) is $143.

$250 OBO.

Call, e-mail, PM, or IM.

I should physically have the unit in my hands by the end of the week, it is supposed to come pre-activated. I am willing to install it for free if you would rather not do it yourself.

Pete and Dan were just on the 11pm news!!!

Pete was holding the mic like he was working for TV3.

SUPERSTARS!!!

... I would buy if I became a millionaire!
