I bid on this . . . wife doesn't know yet!!!!

[weejub]

More of a low-ball on something that looks too good to pass up and to replace my 93 Accord:

Toyota : 4Runner - eBay (item 180711903520 end time Aug-24-11 09:09:51 PDT)

Now I have to come up with the $1525 to pay for it

I'm guessing it goes for $3.5K at least - in which case I won't win it.

May have to swap out the engine, from the sounds of it.

A few questions

1) are you still the high bidder?
2) have you told the wife yet?
3) going to be living out of the wagon?

 

[weejub]

1) No Its up to $1580 now!! lol
2) Yes and she wasn't happy, but I told her AFTER I was no longer high bidder.
3) Aren't we all heading down the path of "living out of the wagon?" The key is getting them to come with us!

It just looks real clean underneath and he seems to really have put the time/effort into it. We've traded some emails - it would have to be shipped.

There is a local 22re for sale at moment on Clist - would love to buy them both and see what I can do with it.

Colin time to step up and bid

 

[CrowleyFJ40]

Let me see how much change I can shake out of the couch cushions tonight....

Here's how this conversation is gonna go for Colin..

Hey honey.. We got some spare $ I wanna look at a truck and bid on it..
Amanda.. Uh.. hello.. you just built a HUGE playset for Ella.. You have a wheeling trip coming up and if ya hadn't noticed.. I'm like Preggo here.. Um your new play toy will be delivered in a few months.. You don't need to be looking at a truck.. You will have plenty of time changing diapers and burping.. Not only you burping but the baby.

Good luck Colin.. Your gonna need it.

 

[CrowleyFJ40]

You don't think she'd buy the excuse that it's for the baby?

 

[weejub]

I think this would fit in it nicely:

22RE Rebuilt Engine

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

Colin, or whomever.. I would totally help explain that a mini or cruiser or whatever is scientifically proven to assist in a childs learning development of mechanical skills and acquisition at an early age or pre-birth definately has been proven to assist in the development of those key life skills and is highly recommend by none other than "Erik"..

Does that help?

 

[CrowleyFJ40]

"But Amanda, Erik said it was a good idea!" Really, are you trying to get both of us in trouble?

 

[Metal Spice]

Seriously - you wanna mess with a pregnant woman??? Not a good idea, Colin. Unless you're trying to guarantee that the only one seeing your wife's naughty bits is the baby.

 

[CrowleyFJ40]

Don't blame me! Erik and Kelly are the ones trying to get me in trouble!

 

[mwalls54]

I have had my eye out for a cheaper 80 and a 45. When we found out she was preggo she said well we have to get the baby a cruiser. I said seriously? she said yeah. Im still too scared to go get one lol

 

[Metal Spice]

Don't blame me! Erik and Kelly are the ones trying to get me in trouble!

Hey guys, please tell Colin to give me MONEY!!!! He's very open to the powers of suggestion.

 

[weejub]

Well the auctin has ended at $1850 - - hard to believe it went for that - prolly going to be some weirdness with that auction. Hope no one here bought it as it is apparent that most would be in as much trouble as I would have been if I would have won

 

[CrowleyFJ40]

Wasn't me, I'm saving my money for Jenn's IROC fund.

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

Colin.. Don't go there till i get some toys completed..

 

[Metal Spice]

Wasn't me, I'm saving my money for Jenn's IROC fund.

IROC - No. Just no.
