This project sucks and I don't want to finish it. The more I have to work on it, the more I'll take out my misery on you.

The more I do, the more you'll have to redo, after you pay me more for it :D

Yeah this one resonates with me, too, for some reason!

This is may favourite part:

"Not being rude...To my 5 “watchers” ... and the one who is “watching” again lol..not 30 Sec I post a new add. shit or get off the pot. THIS WILL ONLY GET MORE EXPENSIVE BY THE DAY.. they’re getting older and worth more, not less. If TP is $200 a pack then cars DEFINITELY are up 100%. This car has NEVER been hit or have ANY rust. Get it while it’s on sale..
No I will not send more pics.. come look at it and bring cash. No money no VW, sorry don’t waste my time.. this car is the most SOLID vw you will ever find."

I'm not sure how the inflated price of shitter paper relates to prices of VW's going up, but I guess it does.
It will only get more expensive by the day? As in, the longer people are out of work and deeper the economy dives, the more money people will have to spend?
I'm also a fan of the "Not being rude" part. If I was one of the 5 people actually interested in it, that would give me a hint as to what kind of seller I was going to be dealing with.
He will not send any more pictures? here are 2. That's all you get. Just take my word and come with cash.
Such an angry, hostile tone to the whole ad.
It might be a decent deal. I don't know. But best of luck with the sale I guess.

Eh, for anyone who has ever tried to keep water & drafts out of their Beetle they know that punching a shitload of holes in the hood ain't gonna help. Now they get to source a new hood & get it fitted & painted, that oughta knock an additional $800-$1,000 off for the shoulda been left in the '80s theme.

totally seems hostile but his feedback is stellar. maybe one of those overly harsh seeming guys that put that out there because they are actually nice and get taken advantage of. I know some dudes like that

My mom always give me good feedback. It would be even better once I move out.

That abortion isn’t selling for 5 large this year

Fri Apr 10, 2020 6:36 pm

So just to get into the spirit of things I am watching that too, we all should.😀

Fri Apr 10, 2020 7:21 pm

Just don’t sign anything

“also customer/owner Signing work orders are agreeing not sue in the event of an accident. “

Good luck with that piece of adhesion

someone needs to let him know the '80's styling demands an '80's price tag.
