That's amazing. I wish I could find something like that out here.

Related, why are all old convertibles automatic? I guess it was part of the whole luxury/extras thing back in those days. I found a decent looking convertible Corvair with a manual but it's in Nevada so I'd have to really know it was the one. How are Corvairs for engine access/maintenance? They look a lot more tightly packed than a similarly old straight 6.

So does the 4.0 Exploder. It'd still take a month to make it there and back. If the route was completely flat.

When I took it in for smogging, I told the Gen-Xish guy that I was glad I didn't need to ford a river and had enough food for the trip. I never expected "Pepperoni and Cheese" as a response.

It's been said before, but one more time -- cover yourself when using Craigslist. I sell a good bit using cl, but never have anything that can be traced to me... I use a burner cell phone ($10 black friday Sprint phone using RingPlus for a couple bucks a month), always meet in a public place, and cycle though gmail accounts like STR processes mexican food.

Protip for craigslist buying -- if you want to buy something and don't want to drive to get it, tell the seller that you're from "x" distance away and you'll meet them halfway... when halfway is very close to your actual house.

Yes, meatpimp can be a dick in real life, too... but hey, if they want to sell, it's cool... they never know that they just delivered to you.

I don't go quite that far - I don't give out my phone # until I have to (and I give out my Google Voice # when I do - normally I have it set to go straight to voicemail unless I'm expecting a call on that #). When you reply to a post from Craigslist, your email also gets anonymised.

I actually have a couple of things on CL now, though they're kind of obscure (98-99 Altima front clear corners, 98-01 Altima rear tails, new OEM Nissan power steering return hose - I don't expect the hose to sell). No nibbles yet. :sigh: Kind of tempted to toss my factory stereo on there, but I know I'll get angry calls when they ignore my telling them that they'll need a dealer to pair it to the car.

Unrelated, it seems leaving a fax modem hooked up to my land line for a couple of months has finally stopped the 10+ telemarketing calls a day I used to get (and never received any faxes). I finally put a phone back on the line 2 days ago - it hasn't rang once. I have the line more because it knocks $5 off of my cable bill (including taxes), also in case I actually need to use that antiquated "fax" technology. Comes in handy if my mobile is dead too. I don't even know the phone number for the land line though.

As much as I hate my job, I'm really loving glad I'm going back tomorrow. Being out for nearly 3 weeks has wiped out my meager savings. I think tomorrow is payday, though it's going to be a tiny, tiny check.

As far as they know, I was in the hospital for issues relating to diabetes (which is true, and I was receiving insulin while there - they don't need to know about the detox part). And diabetes is protected under the American with Disabilities Act. They'd find themselves in a world of hurt if they tried to terminate me over that. And legally all they can ask for is a doctor's note stating I'm fit to work.
