I think we are all familiar with the trials and tribulations of people when it comes to buying and selling things including your experiences as you are always so kind to post those current events for us here LOL !!!
That said, I have a car that I have been trying to find a home for, its a '91 Mercury Capri, like some people, she kinda fell apart all at once, motor, trans good, had new tires, oil always changed, taken care of, but not roadworthy now, hate to even say it, but its a parts car or one heck of a project for some one interested. There are not a lot of these, only made '91-'94, but have a following, parts are not cheap, so I figured I'd try to find someone who needs a parts car, I did, saw the person in a parking lot, and he lives in the neighborhood, back in late March or early April. $200, car and extra parts, one door, extra wheel, tailights mine has a turbo, his does not, price a motor for one of these on ebay, though finding a buyer might be like finding hens teeth.
I'll take it he says, ok, so I park it at the end of road, make sure it runs, tires aired up, been sitting. Don't hear from the guy, few weeks go by,he calls back, "hey you still got that car?", Ok, I will be by to pay you and pick it up, several weeks go by, get another phone call, same thing, hey would you take $150 for it ? LOL .... now I'm thinking Dave 2 all the way here! That was yesterday.
Now I could have played hard ball, but I just want this thing out of my yard, and to someone who needs the parts. The local junkyard told me years ago, he would have given me the last one they had in, as no one needed parts off, it so they crushed it, so either I call a scrapper and there ain't much metal on one of these or keep fooling with this guy on it, there is no real rush or the town is on me about it etc. I told him the price was firm, when you have the money and the time to get it, call me ahead of time and it will be here. I had not listed it yet, so not sure if any other capri owners are around, but was going to if he did not call yesterday, we will see if weeks go by or not, if so this time I will list it, I just wanted someone to benefit from the parts, and no money lost or time lost, I cut people right off at the first sign of wasting my time, it rarely if ever happens. He said he's off this weekend, his buddy with a truck can tow it, but during the conversation, he said he will call periodically, I'm like ?????? ok, well it will be here, that don't mean I won't list it and try and sell it if he dicks around too long, people are funny to say the least !

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
