OK, I was looking to buy

Person had it listed as being in excellent condition, rated it as a 1; talked to him about the car for quite a while... seemed fine with only trim needed to be added... body off restoration

Took my Honda - 6 hours one way! Told the owner how far I was traveling..
When Ted and I got there, I found the car had sealant around the rear window gasket ( gee I wonder why) The body was twisted to the extent it took all your might (literally) to slam the passenger car door closed, and to open it, it took quite a bit of strength to keep opening the door to its' full openness. the driver door was a bear to close. Welds for patches were done poorly, new floors were put in poorly - reboxed the rails in a poor manner.... on and on. Stayed there less than 10 minutes... I was pretty peeved.
So cost me one vacation day, about $60.00 in gas, 12 hr.s driving, ........ and feeding Ted - which of course costs a lot too.
What the heck are people trying to sell? The car is a basket case...
The next day, I found my Honda transmission no longer likes to be in "Drive" - it now always prefers neutral.
Towing it to the tranny shop tomorrow...
Fun Times....
I would say live and learn, but this guy completely mislead me, and probably will do so to others.

Matt, if you missed Sophia so much that you wanted to buy a clone, you should have let me know!!! 01cry
Gosh.. try to be a little more original next time though, would ya? One Sophia in the club is enough. #@rofl3
I hope by now, I should have a good idea as to what is quality car build and what is not...
Yea, i should have smacked him, but figured it is better if I get out of there [gunfiring\ else I could end up on America's Most Wanted - & they'd probably find me hiding in someone's bus... whistleegi
Yea, I thought if I could buy this one, it would then appear Karen is actually getting Sophia to some shows after all...
I am considering buying one that is in good shape,
I could redo Junior ( my 73 convert) but have some worries about my back holding up on his re-do I don't want to get more needles in my back than a voodo doll....
So I could sell him at a discount, use that and some other $$ I do not have, to buy one already done, then just maintain it...
But when I see cars like this that are bent out of shape, Junior is looking pretty darn good...

Disco is the most abhorent,detestable, loathsome, vile horrific accursed, offensive, repulsive, despicable, galling unpalatable, revolting abominable, detestable, offensive, cheap disagreeable, insipid, atrocious, nauseous, obnoxious, degenerate, repugnant music I have ever listed to - and on top of that..... it just plain stinks - in my humble opinion.
the only thing that was a just a bit worse is when shortly after that the music being played was a string of 5 second songs, all different, but all linked together with a really, really stupid back beat ( I forget what that was called, thank goodness). There was so much of that being played back then.... Wow,...hearing that music .... weil, I just wanted to kill myself - I only didn't becase back then i was too young and too good looking to die....
I like Disco and Dance Music, **^bana0 @#bananadarkhair. =bana4_+
Wow... Matt was already an old fart by the time Disco became popular? I didn't think he was that old
Am I giving away my age when I tell all that my wife and I took disco lessons in 1975? **^bana0 I wore a white suit (very wide lapel), white shoes and white belt. %$oldcit
