I'm selling my wife's car so I put it across the mile on a state hwy corner. A guy calls last eve very interested. I said call Friday after 3 PM. I work nights so I get up today at 3 and see 9 calls on my phone, 3 each from 3 different numbers all about 1/2 hr apart. I try to call back the first two and they both go to this little mom and pop motel across from where the car was sitting. Its way out in the country and its the little old motel left from the 60's that still runs on the occasional line worker or "other" clients (whatever, not the point here). They, of course never heard of this guy. Soon he calls, he'll be right over. Gets here and I tell him I tried to return his call. He says "yah I'm at the Blah blah motel (doesn't use the right name), and it rings into the desk not the room. Him and his friend look the car over and I go with them for a short one mile ride, ( I armed myself earlier). We get back he makes one counter offer, I accept, CASH ONLY, Its only $5,000. His mom apparently calls, they discuss bank hours at length having no clue that every bank is open until 6pm on friday and they head to bank, its 4pm. He calls me soon and says this a small bank and they "won't have that much money on hand would I take a money order or cashiers check "thing". I say CASH ONLY. Okay he'll see what the bank says. Then he calls me and says I can't get back until tomorrow morning and I tell him okay call me in AM and let me know. NOW, I didn't take a down payment and I'm fine with that because I thought he'd be right back and that's not the point. I have no other prospects and to be honest I was so rattled I didn't think to ask for a payment . These guys were not smart enough looking to be running a scam. I don't think they ever saw 5K in their lives. The guy buying it never drove it, I don't think he has a license, and I really don't care. My point is, I guess as long as I get my cash I don't care. Its just the whole thing seemed weird from the start. They didn't case my place, the whole thing only took minutes. I doubt he'll be back.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
