The next car I own - which the non-idiotic part of my brain says I will buy in Ontario in April or May - will need to carry a canoe, bomb down gravel and dirt roads in TSD rallies and other adventures, and generally put a smile on my face. The Roller would do that in fantastic style (picture that car with a green canoe on it - go on, I'll wait. Don't forget the nice layer of mud up both sides as high as the windows) and I can get to Calgary easily. The auction starts at 11:00am, a surprisingly reasonable hour, and they allow internet bids. The excitable moron in the back of my head is SCREAMING at me right now.

That Lincoln would be great with a non flashy plastidip coating on it. Edit: not paying attention. Not a Lincoln. Although basically a Lincoln.

I was in Redcliff today and had to do a double take as I was leaving town. I saw a hoarder with about 15 Fieros in his compound in various states of disrepair, including a 1988 GT. Why?    jonathan posted:I've been thinking of doing a side business doing plastidip coating poo poo. The investment is low and overhead is almost non existent.

There are a couple places in edmonton and calgary that do it. I can't imagine how many people there are that would want it done but wouldn't do it themselves. I really don't see the point of it. I've plastidipped rims and stuff. it's not all that durable, and there have been cases of it pulling clearcoat off when it comes off. With that convertible, it wouldn't be that much more difficult to do a nice single stage eastwood paint job that looks better than plastidip, and lasts 10 years. i've been considering plastidipping the chrome/stainless bits on my lincoln to protect it, and make it a little less flashy. maybe in copper or just matte clear.

I would consider doing on my bike rims because I managed to put a gouge in it and it pisses me off each time I see it  Besides, it's a street bike and it generally only sees good roads so it would probably last a pretty long time. Pulling the clear off is a concern though if that's true, never heard it before but I'll assume you have.

I've done the rims on my car and truck.   It works ok on wheels, not that durable, but if it's a paintable surface, it makes far, far more sense to just nut up and paint it. So this summer, should i be an old man  or a pimp  or a drug dealer  Just messing around in gimp, was gonna do all the chrome but oh lord, there is so much.

I'd like "drug dealer" with some different wheels and a little less ride height. But maybe that's because I'm a child?

I'm always searching for different wheels locally, but it shares a bolt pattern with jeeps, chevy pickups, and astrovans, so all the choices are TEEEEEEEEERRIBLE. The 16 year old in my wants to just black it out and run d-slots or soft 8s.

Drug dealer, completely blacked out (the term "murdered out" is stupid but fits in this case), with these wheels: also blacked out. My GF at the time got a Mark V as the loaner when her crappy little Hyundai was in the shop in Vancouver for transmission work. She called me in a panic because she didn't think she could ExecuDork fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Mar 6, 2015 |

What the gently caress kijiji, why won't any of you answer my texts, phone calls, or emails. It's like you don't want me to give you thousands of dollars for your loving trucks. Buying a used 3/4 or 1 ton should not be this hard in Alberta.

When i bought my king ranch, i got it for 15k. similar trucks were listed on kijiji for 20-22k. by dealers for 28-30k. In 09 i bought a 2005 f-150 extended cab with 116k kms for $7700. Both at michener allen. There's an auction at regal in calgary every saturday. auctions are fun even if you aren't buying anything, and not a bad way to spend a sunny saturday. Sometimes stuff goes stupid cheap at CPA, they have an auction on the 10th http://www.canadianpublicauction.com/ i bought a 99 powerstroke from ritchie bros last year for $750 as non-running, and it runs perfectly. Sometimes you get stupid lucky.

There are a fuckton of unreserved trucks in tomorrow's sale http://www.regalauctions.com/upcomingauctions.php?sale=030715 There are 3 07 f-150s with 180-200k kms. I would bet they'll go for under 5 grand.  Check for rust around the gas cap. smooth steering lock to lock, and phaser tick, you'll know it if you hear it. If you buy it and it's got the original spark plugs, you might break a few getting them out, but i have the tool to remove what gets stuck. Buying poo poo from auctions is pretty much gambling though.

So, looked at the car. Top works, engine runs great, tranny seems to operate fine. Of course, the body is full of filler, and there's rust in most of the nooks and crannies I looked in. Also all of the weatherstripping is dry rotted out and the dash is cracked. Pretty sure it sat in a field for a long while before some guy pulled it out, filled the obvious holes, and primered it before putting it up for sale. Gonna throw out a lowball, see what happens. EDIT: nope, not even a little bit

Drove a 2007 chev 2500 this morning, 4x4, 209k, simple options, but still has ac and cruise, extended cab, acceptable rockers, good frame, box, minor rock chips on the hood. Might need a ball joint or some front end work, tiny little thunk on bumps. Good rubber. Bought it at 5300. Pretty happy with that. Just need to get it insured and registered now...

Whats the purpose of insurance inspection in this province? Is it for registering a used vehicle only? Some ads have inspection included, do they just do PPI out of the goodness of their hearts?

This is the only form they're allowed to use.

I had to get an insurance inspection on and old truck I had. The truck had 500 000 km on it, three shocks that were connected to the chassis, and the tires were utterly worn out. Passed with flying colours.

Not the insurance inspection, in my experience - OOP certainly (since they can make some serious money from it). Insurance inspection is laughably bad in this province, and - judging from the people I see selling used cars crowing about how they passed the insurance inspection with flying colours - potentially dangerous.
