I see you are looking at BaT’s Mini. My dad and I were joking about it a few days ago. It’s located not to far from my aunts house.

A coworker has been searching Craigslist for a new car and he has no specific requirements (only that it’s running). Our email chain from the last couple days is hilarious. Who in the real world cross shops a VW Thing and an MR2?

I think this was the protocol for most top gear challenges.

How do you get it to only look within a certain mileage? I’m only seeing default, US only, North America, and worldwide.

I do this all the time, using up to 250 miles away, and I set sort to “oldest to newest year model”.

So weird, I’m scrolling through my results trying this out and I come across your exact screenshot! Which is weird since it always seems that nobody on Oppo is anywhere near my area (southern Vermont)

No way will that Cheyenne stay low, but that Lincoln. With $1,100 that could be yours before midnight

If you’re southern VT then I’m about an hour south of you

I did that when I sold my Subaru and was without a car and had a wad of cash burning a hole in my pocket.... REALLY BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN.

I think the SO would disapprove, unfortunately.

Kinja'd!!! "Dusty Ventures" (dustyventures)
01/17/2017 at 22:57, STARS: 0

But they’d approve of an MR2?

I have a feeling she wouldn’t approve anything either of us would find appealing, truth be told.

My latest terrible idea:

And, there’s a couple 1940s International Harvesters, here and here .

That’s basically all that really stood out at me from this search , though.
