[LilCe98]

Did you buy all this stuff from the same person? :laugh:

 

[Smalls]

nice wheels!

 

[blu_fuz]

Yah, those wheels were nice - I am glad you got them


$740 of that total was just last week! :crazy:.


I need to stay off of there, I am set for a long time

 

[BAD SVT]

u got 2 svts and the other stuff for that price??? am not sure if u're a bargain hunter or a cheapskate:laugh:

 

[blu_fuz]

Mostly a cheapskate hahahahaha

My brother's SVT and wheels are not figured in the price

 

[hectik1]

Joe is the best budget buyer ever!

 

[Smalls]

its funny that you posted that pic of the go cart. i couldnt imagine how there were tire tread marks on the insides when i got em. that had me so confused

 

[blu_fuz]

I deflated the go-kart tires and wedged them in the wheels and inflated them. Stuck like you wouldn't believe! Drove with the rears on down the street, it was awesome. I was going to make contour knuckles fit that go-kart so I could use those wheels too :nonono:.


I have nothing but time when we are slow at work :laugh:..... Sometimes I feel bad when I leave a deal knowing that the person could have gotten much more for their stuff eventually. Supply and demand I guess, and at least my money is going back into the economy so I look at it as my "stimulus package"....

 

[LilCe98]

Sooooo how much can I have those Kazera 18" rims for?:shrug:

 

[TRicker]

or the team dynamics in black ? ;D

 

[todras]

Holy crap you must spend a lot of time one there. I wouldn't have the patience to weed through all the BS.

 

[Manimillion]

There are a lot of crack heads in your area I assume.

 

[teamSVTour]

you find all that shwag in your local Craigslist for pick up or you search all over and have it shipped??

 

[Wien_Sean]

Every time I talk to you, you always have something new. You've even found me deals. If we ever had slow works days I might be doing that same, but I don't have the time or the patience to find deal like that.

 

[Wien_Sean]

There are a lot of crack heads in your area I assume.

I don't think you need to be a crack head with the economy the way it is.

Nice Joe
