Fuggit. Just peel out and drive fast.

Be sure to livestream the buy for evidence and entertainment purposes.
 
Check oil and start driving. Hell son, you from Memphis!!
 
Yeah that's true. I'm going to check all the fluids and everything before making the drive back. I'm really hoping it makes it back in one piece
 
I drove to nashville in a 60 to drive back in a sight unseen 100 with 178,000 miles. I then drove that 100 to pick up a sight unseen 42 year old piggy and drive it back 4 hours.

I may be too casual, but sometimes you just got to secure the cruiser and let safety stay in its rightful place (3rd or 4th).

You next to last PM:

"Well if you installed it to the truck and I got it with the truck, you could build it into the price if you wanted to. I figured I'd need a winch if I didn't have the lockers. If this 80 is what you're saying it is, im definitely in. Pictures would help a lot. I'm sure you live near Jackson which is a pretty long drive from me. I just need to talk Noel into waiting a little bit. The truck reliably getting me to work is priority #1. Wheelin comes second"

Your last PM:

"Awesome man. Thank you. I live about a mile or less from Cam."

Your last text:

"Hahaha I'm not looking for a warranty. Just like it will run. When I bought my 4Runner, the engine blew in 2 months."

Not sure what you expected a response to from these. I'm not saying you were committed to buying the truck but we discussed how little time I had to work on it without shifting priorities and you made it clear you needed to move quickly. A note saying you had moved on would have been nice that's all. No worries... Someone else will want an 80 with 123k miles on it...

Interesting. Having been on Daryl's end of deals where I have bent over backwards to get stuff done for someone (sometimes staying up several nights to fit in all my obligations and newfound priorities) who showed no intentions of flaking, this doesn't sit real well with me. I assure you that You will be hard-pressed to find one person in the Cruiser community that has a more sterling reputation than @Bossman , so kinda irks me to see you couldn't even publicly acknowledge what Daryl has said.

Deals don't always work out. I buy and sell more stuff than I care to admit. However, being considerate and communicating effectively is always a top priority for me. Not trying to chastise you, but I do hope you learn from this. I'm sure Daryl had better things to do with his limited time than push up this 80-series on his to-do list for someone to not even say directly to him that they're no longer interested.

One thing I continually see in this small community is that what goes around comes around.
 
There was no agreed upon deal though is what I do not understand. I literally said let me give it some thought. I have had no contact with him since May 8. The last message in the conversation string was from me. I'm not looking to start anything. But I do not like to be accused of doing anything inconsiderate. We talked about his truck. If you'd like I can upload the short conversation in its entirety. The only thing remotely close to an agreement was me saying "let me give it some thought." Everything else was me asking questions about the vehicle. He told me he was busy but could get the truck back together quickly, but I never asked anyone to do anything, and also there was no follow up. It has been 9 days.
 
Photo is gone. Did not realize I had not saved your number. My apologies
 
No worries man. I didn't want any of it to be like that and tried changing the subject early on. I hope there is no hostility or animosity between us or me and anyone in the club. I was just buying a car. I apologize to anyone that I may have offended.
