my mom mentioned "hey you should find a cheap truck on craigslist" i sat there and laughed at her theres no way im going to go through the trouble of trying to find a vehicle that doesnt have some sort of problem, true there are honest people, but being as picky as i am and the fact i really dont trust a single person its hard for me to search peoples ads for something that isnt broken somewhere.
