    them. I asked my wife to take a picture of the phone number, and she did. So each day for the next two weeks, I would call the number to ask questions about the vehicle once I got to work.

    Here is where it gets petty: I get to work at 5:30AM. So for 9 week days (I get every other Friday off) I called the number at 5:30 from a phone far from my office in a common area.

    There was no way to tie the calls back to me as there were many of us arriving around that time too. They stopped answering after 3 days, but I kept calling!!

    I'm a bigger than you though. I posted tons of ads on craigslist for free stuff or cheap stuff for sale. I also posted that there was a yard sale at his house. Early birds were welcome on Saturday and Sunday.

    barbershores • 21h ago Tell them that you heard that that car needs servicing. It has a loose nut behind the steering wheel. Do they intend to fix that before they sell it?

    BikerJedi 20h ago A lady with her "Life Coach and Wellness Guru" business and email cut me off. I emailed her and suggested she learned how to use a turn signal and she cussed me out. Lol.
