today i was talking to my friend about a guy he knows that does tranny work, and somehow we got ont eh subject of a guy he knows, that works with someone that knows someone that has some gn's setting around that he wants to sell. apparently they have been stolden a few times and the guy just wanted them gone.
problem is we didn't know where the guy lives. we knew he lived on the east side of a street, next to a green house across from a meat plant. we didn't even know what street, but we had an idea.
so after aobut 3 hours of knocking on peoples doors, which if you've never done that, its an experience. i had one guy try to sell us his ford probe, another guy try to sell us his house, and another guy, i wish he would have tryed to sell me his daughter, but thats beside the point. we ended up finding the car hidden in a field under a tree. someone parked it there because it had been stolden twice and it was the only place out of view to keep it.
it was pretty clean, the paint was shot, but the body is straight, the interior is realy clean, not cracked up at all, seats are in good shape and so is the head liner. the engine is bone stock right down to the airbox. never been touched. has 144k miles.
he wanted $900 for this car! my friend managed to steal it for...
$700!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
talk aobut a steal. the guy really had no idea what he had. we got to talking, he used to have "one of those x grand nationals" he didn't like it much so he sold it to his son for $2,000. a gnx, for $2,000. ready for the kicker? it had 2,000 miles at the time, right now it has 5,000 miles. i asked for his sons number but he said he wouldn't sell the car regardless of the money.
right now its getting cleaned up and i'm sure will be well taken care of.

I had to read that about three times and I'm still not sure if I've got that straight.
