    "For sale. GMC Crew Cab Pickup. Like new. Garage kept all its life. Never seen rain. Many parts replaced with new, too many to list. The car runs strong and the odometer will continue to climb as I use this as my daily driver. I just completed a round trip from California to Maine with zero issues. Minor dent in the front.

    Asking $15,000 firm. No lowballers, tire kickers, or joy riders. I know what I have and I know what it's worth. Might be willing to trade for a Ford Mustang or an ATV and some guns.

    Truck currently does not run. Will need to be towed away."

Ever since I made that comment on bfv's weekly music thread, about a dream house and garage, I've been browsing Craigslist for fun on my lunch breaks and spamming my wife's phone with link after link. I'm seeing tons of really good deals from realistic car sellers. I'm also seeing tons of jokes too. Maybe it's a redneck thing . . .

Curious to know if that's some kind of Chinese knock-off. Never seen a JMC before. Maybe I will Google it later.

Ha! Fuck. I didn't even notice that. I just pulled a random image off of Imgur. It's more than likely though. Chinese car companies constantly rip other designs. I don't read Jalopnik anymore, but I know they've had a few articles dedicated to them in the past.

It is Chinese. The license plate gives it away.

Ha. Yeah. No. That part I caught. My mind though, for some reason, read the emblem as GMC. It's one of those things, where it just fills in the blank for you. :)

I didn't notice it right off but when I did, my first thought was, 'oh, the emblem broke...wait, that's not possible.'

I've been browsing property lately, a mix between dream homes and realistic stuff. It's fun to look and find land for sale that hits many of my wants at a price I find reasonable. I'm not going to move on anything for at least a couple years, but I still browse around.

Not many joke properties, though.

Missing Copper. Missing Septic Tank. Horizontal Crack in the Foundation. As is. No warranty. $150,000.

WanderingEng  ·  3237 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Landlocked property, no access easement.

Meh pex isn't that hard to run I'm guessing the walls are already open since it had to come out somehow. Septic tank sounds expensive. Concrete corkscrew foundation pillars are 10-20k installed. I'd buy it if it was in Seattle lol

In Seattle, the lot would probably be worth that alone.
