If you use Facebook and you are not a member of a local buy/sell group I urge you to join one. The scamming and blatantly stolen items for sale make the experience incredibly entertaining. Some dude is losing his poo poo because he bought a "Snap On" toolbox and when he got it home he discovered it was a Harbor Freight box with a Snap On sticker. And the only reason I'm not shaming him is his sister is a friend of mine.

The question is: was it advertised as a "Snap On", or just as "toolbox" and pictures just happened to show the logo? Is that fraud, then? Also, if you can't tell the difference...

Cage posted:My brother tried to sell his car on one of those groups, he GIS'ed other cars that were clearly not his car and tried to make it look better than it was. He then posted about how some guy was trying to give him poo poo for it. He deserves everything he gets for that. Seriously, I would just walk away if I went to go look at a car and it's not the pictured car from the ad, because who knows what else the seller is lying about.

Mr-Spain posted:Yup. Sitting here in the hospital with the 1 day old 3rd one. NICE! Our second started Preschool yesterday and my wife is home with our 2 1/2 month old (third) right now. Three is a handful, but the other two are older and play together well so it helps tremendously. Enjoy sleepy snuggly little baby.

The best group I am a part of is a new neighborhood near mine that is heavily saturated with ~Millenials~ which I know I will catch a lot of flack for labeling them here (I am also apparently a millenial). The things they complain about is incredible. I can basically brine the meats I smoke with their tears. As a group they refuse to be adults and speak one on one with people over minor conflict, there is public shaming, and a general lack of owning up to personal responsibility.

Wife got us tickets to an RWB Showcase & Tech event this evening at the local Beetle dealer. I guess Nakai San was in town this past weekend building a white 964. Anything specific I should get pictures of or ask? It is a tech evening as well. So pumped for this.

The ad said it was a $1700 Snap On box. I'm currently ribbing his sister over it. It's kind of hilarious.

Could be an instinct to make it much harder for whatever text they write to get scraped. Having heard all the cars that are getting water damage totaled by Harvey, I started thinking of having a bugout plan for my car specifically. Like if I know bad weather is coming, how quickly could I store my car somewhere else.

Jalopnik showed a guy who used bricks and jackstands to lift his E36 M3 way the hell up. I'm close enough to the mountains that I could probably just drive up in them if they aren't getting washed away, but if AZ is seeing that kind of flooding, poo poo is going to be hosed.

I think the only disaster I'd face is a forest fire (almost happened last fall). That'd be a tough one unless you had some sort of fire-rate structure. You'd really have to remove them from the area in that case.

I see that on local buy and sells with all age groups, though. The "olds" just usually do it at the local dive-bar/coffee shop/McDonald's. All I hear is them bitching about kids not wanting to work, as I'm talking to a 17-year old who's working 3 jobs for the summer to pay for college. Everyone's poo poo, not just "millenials".

Cage posted:I once bought a cpu off someone on craigslist who somehow erased the technical details printed on a low end chip, and then put it in a higher end cpu box. I looked at it, thought it was weird it was missing but thought maybe they didn't do it anymore and jokingly said "heh heh youre not trying to scam me right?" and still bought it like a fool. I am still salty about it 5 years later. Sometimes people will lap the IHS for better surface area contact with the cooler, so he could have done that
