I financed my used 2016 TLX for something like $235 a month, and only because the interest rate was 2%, and I figured I'd make more investing the cash rather than having it set in the driveway. Of course today....

Damn truck didn't sell. He agreed on a price, drove all the way from Boise with a rented dolly. Then wanted to dicker on the price. I told my Buddy not to budge, as we'd already come down 20% on it. I was proud of him... he struggles with negotiating, and he did just exactly what I suggested. He gets taken advantage of a lot because he caves.

It's a pretty sweet rig... it's a quick truck, all considered.

I bet you either:

A) worked on that truck yourself.
B) at the very least, gave him advice on mechanical repairs.

Sounds like whatever deal your friend makes on the truck, he's indebted to you. 😀

Looking at this pic... and noticed this POS building in the background is now sitting where our beloved race track once sat.

Looks like a home depot or a Costco

If there's not a lot of rust on it, I don't see the reason selling it at present.
Although, I do see some rust on the bottom of the passenger side door.

I think they basically, put it out using conventional methods and then dunk it as quick as they can for 24hrs to ensure it stays out

Probably just as easy to let the thing burn... and then repair rhe road afterwards...lol

What if it ain't outside. They seem to spontaneously combust. Like 10th gen F150s that don't have the cruise control wiring recall done.


In all seriousness, it had a road hazard event earlier that day and no one thought it was damaged. It was though.
I still wouldn't want to be the person rigging it up. With my luck that would be when it decides to light off again.
