I can't hate this. Other than the biblical lettering, it's apparently done at least partly tongue in cheek, so I'd give it a pass as a comical parade car/just having fun thing. I'm not wild about the desecration of the flag as a headliner, though. And why are the front wheel openings so huge?

Put a Rover V8 in it and absolutely piss off the Cosworth aficionados. Then point out that at least it's an ALUMINUM V8.
Nah, the Cosworth Vega was a good-locking little car. It's only major failing (over anything else of the era, at least) was a lack of forethought on the engine, partially due to bean counting. I mean, really: a cast-iron head on an aluminum block, with no cylinder liners, and marginal cooling system? Fuel-injected, though!

The only way to safely assume a cashiers check is not completely fake is to take it to the bank where it was issued, cash it with them right there and walk away with cash in hand, thus completely negating the usefulness of the check. Cashiers check are the most abused and conned pieces of paper in the country. People don't understand that its' just a check, nothing special, and they assume that it is some sort of guaranteed funds.

All you have to do to scam someone with a cashiers check is create your own and use a weird bank from out of town and fudge up the routing numbers. That check will take about a week to bounce. Meanwhile, the victims bank balance is showing the money. This is the second part of the scam where people don't understand that when you deposit a check from another bank to your bank, your taking a loan out against yourself until that check clears. When it bounces, and it will, your bank takes the money back out.

The most common scam involves overpaying with a bogus cashiers check and asking for payment back for difference. When it works it's a triple whammy, the victim does not get paid, they loose their item, and they give the con man extra money. Bonus points if the victim spends the money from the fake check right away and ends up owing the bank a ton of cash. I hate thieves.

I hate a banking system that allows this to happen. They are all electronically connected, and could stop cashier check fraud if they wanted to.

I agree it's ridiculous, but there is no reasonable method for transferring funds inter-bank immediately in the US. The ACH clearing house still operates like they're physically driving tapes around to each bank - it's a daily batch process.

What we need is something like the European banks have. You can clear funds phone to phone between two banks in less than 10 seconds.

Hence the "if they wanted to". They act like we don't have a near-instantaneous global information and communications medium. The banking system was all cutting edge computerized in the '70s and ' 80s. What happened?

quote:

What you're looking at is a LEGEND. This is no squeeky, rickity old HEEP or 'posh' MALL ROVER that breaks down when the going gets tough.

This is the ORIGINAL WORLD FAMOUS 80 series TOYOTA LAND CRUISER. The 1991 FJ80. Or as the Japanese like to call it, RANDO KURUZA! That is no joke. Just saying that name stirs up GODZILLA so you should probably GTFO of the way because it might just RUN OVER your little Suzuki Samu-what without even knowing it.

Driving in this will make your chest hair grow longer and bald spots more fertile than the Idaho potato farms. The first mullet haired maiden you look at will marry you and you will have not one off-spring but TWINS because that is the price RANDO KURUZA would ask from you.

Do you know what the ENTIRE freaking African Sahara, Congo, Kalahari and everything worth its salt on the PLANET drives when they just HAVE to get somewhere? You got that right it, Jenny, they ride the hill crushing LAND CRUISER.

The LAND CRUISER does not have time for the word "CAN'T" when it's busy chasing billy goats down the Himalayan mountains, or casually crunching over male Lion dung out in the bush, hunting some water buffalo with the driver's torso bouncing out of that man sized sun roof. MAN sized sun roof. Is there an echo? And it even has a ROOF RACK so you can tie that beast down when you're done fiddling around with your rifle and posing next to your trophy "4-Wheeler." Because real MEN don't POSE. They DO. And you will TOO, when you shift the transfer case into 'HI' with your clammy little pedicured feet on that throttle pedal.

And when your rich buddies are soaking in the rain waiting for a tow truck to haul their MALL ROVER RISK-Oh 2 for the 5th time this month, you can drive up and laugh at their expense for 23 minutes then tell them to get back in the CAVERNOUS 3rd ROW DUNCE seats because 2nd row is for your dog and anything smarter.

Don't be fooled into thinking this is some kind of "beater" or "hoopty." When GODZILLA took a dump after eating half of Tokyo, what do you think was left to fight him? Not the faded vinyl camo wrap falling off from the monster's stomach acid. Think harder, Trudy. It was the 4700 pound BRUTE FORCE ON 4 WHEELS pounding Godzilla's intestines with the thunder of 155 HORSES from that indestructible 4-liter 6 cylinder Sabre Tooth Tiger crammed inside its ladder frame. That's what. Just turning the ignition makes Godzilla belch PLASMA FLAMES uncontrollably from indigestion thinking of that day.

Did you get that 'little' detail? This is FULL TIME FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, not some piddly little part time wannabe that you can 'pop' into 4-low and pretend to go off-roading in your independently sprung twigs you call a suspension. This California's nightmare rides on SOLID AXLES only, so you better not high center that bulbous diff case on a rock or you'll get a 54mm socket smashed on the back of the neck because you forgot your hi-lift jack. This is not some cushy crossover car-based leather bag you're too scared to drive in the rain. This is the real deal. Do you think you can handle that, Cletus?

You know how to contact me. It's that little thing up there that says REPLY. It's that obvious.

Do it, or you will die regretting never having the honor of driving a REAL MANLY MAN OFF-ROAD TRUCK.

** And yes, the plates and inspection sticker are up to date. It shifts and runs like it's supposed to. A/C & Heat work. It has 4 brand new Falken A/T tires. It will drive to Greenland if you can pay a ferry to take you there. How you get back will be another story.

If you feel you're up for some nature wrangling, $2400 or your best offer is what it takes.

Come look at the truck before drawing any conclusions. I am selling because I need cash asap for a house, and without the shelter of a garage I have no more time to service the Land Cruiser.

Edit: Wikipedia implies hat the first-gen Trailblazer was unibody by stating that the second-gen "returns to the roots of General Motors' classic body-on-frame SUV's that the first-generation TrailBlazer abandoned. As is the case with the original Chevrolet Blazer (1969-1994), Tahoe (1995-present), Suburban (1935�present), S10-based Blazer (1983-2005), the TrailBlazer will be based on a pickup truck chassis, in this case the 2012 Chevrolet Colorado."

Nice car, but $17K? I mean, I'm sorry you spent $40k building it it, but that's because you used a Turn Key engines crate LS1. There is literally nothing else custom about the interior or exterior, though it is in very nice condition. Also, your "custom" wheels are Impala SS stock wheels with Olds decals in the center caps.

I dunno, maybe my $$ meter is broken -I'm a cheap bastard. I do love that wagon, though. They were decent even with the LT1. I would drive it every day (can't get worse gas mileage than my 4-banger XJ, and I bet it will tow and haul more...)

Maybe I'm wrong here but at least in Texas you can certainly find out if the vehicle has been reported stolen.

First step in getting a bonded title in TX is to do a title search with the state. Costs $5 or so, and you get the title history of the car. Then you send a registered letter to the last known address of record, so, yeah, you get the name and address of the previous owner(s). (If you get no response, you can register the car is yours with a bonded title, paying a % of the value as the bonding fee. Bonded title becomes a real title in 5 or 7 years, I forget which. Pretty easy, though it's easier still to use one of the title washing companies in Hemmings, who usually just register it in a state that only requires a bill of sale.)

Ah, well. I should spend money on my '70 Cutlass post coupe instead, anyway. also, I have no money, so there's that.

actual edit: Hell, I would send you one of the new ones if I find another, providing shipping and customs isn't a nightmare to navigate. No duty/VAT if it's a gift, right?

Those are stock XJ wheels, almost zero chance it's anything but stock axles. So... $300 worth of axles, maximum, unless one or two of the rear ones are dana 44s which is extremely unlikely. Even with two dana 44s in the back, it's no more than $700 worth of axles.

Also I don't even want to know what's going on under there, because there's no way there is enough space under the back of an XJ for the driveshaft and transfer case skullduggery needed to get both of the rear axles driven.

They do appear to have used a 2-door rear side window and body side to lengthen it, which would be the way I would do it.

Found this while looking for doritos-on-a-stick stuff:

Yeah, that's sure an $1800 car there. I don't feel too bad about what I'm wanting to ask for my rough-ish FC now.
Bonus points for posting a car/dealer that's in North Carolina in the Dallas, TX Craigslist.

edit:
Just looked at the guy's website. He wants $2300 for this:
