My uncle, who bought both of them for her and is completely aware of the irony, desperately wants to get "SMUGCAR" personalized plates for it. If I saw her driving it while I was riding, I would not get within a quarter mile of her. There is way too much sensory deprivation going on with those cars, they are the equivalent of automotive Soma. You're not in a car, you're in a controlled environment completely detached from the outside world, so might as well get a few things done while you're there. The driver always seems to be texting, eating hummus sandwiches, reading magazines about recumbent bicycles, or some other poo poo I don't understand.

Mother fuckers. This is so common it is far more likely to happen than not. I've sold 4 bikes on CL and each one was a nightmare of differing proportions. I've had people ready to buy not show up, I've engaged in email conversations that go on forever and end in nothing. I had one piece of poo poo show up 8 hours late on a beautiful Sunday, waste another hour of my time looking at the bike, and then offer me HALF what I was asking. I realize that negotiation is part of the game but the bike was priced fairly and it was obvious this guy would never come up to where I wanted to be. I literally said "It's time for you to go" in a firm but non threatening manner, and got him the gently caress off my property. The potential buyer that gives you the least hassle and shows up on time, that is the one who is going to buy your bike.
