I'm going to end up with this by the end of the week.

http://bloomington.craigslist.org/cto/4444733144…

He's got a new rear hatch for it so that's not a problem, and I'm trading my bike and some cash for the whole pile.

I'm pretty stoked. I've driven it around, it sounds decent, and minus some outside cosmetic stuff (rust on the corners and on a spot by the end of the trim) it's pretty slick.

Dude selling it is pretty kick ass as well. Hell he even lives in my city which he says is a big plus if I want to buy it so he can still see it putzing around.

Great car and seems like an awesome owner just by reading the ad. That really helps.

You're going to paint it brown, right?

The thought has crossed my mind. Although the orange is definitely appealing.

Are you in Columbus or Bloomington? Looks like a nice car, btw.

Columbus, Indiana? That thing will have to be the 2nd nicest diesel in town.

Awesome! And it's not yellow! And it's a wagon!

Columbus. Not to far from Zwanzigs pizza if you're familiar with it.

Potentially. The only sticking point is the automatic :/

Ha, I always thought it'd be awkward to be the guy in Columbus driving a Power Stroke or Duramax.

You'd be surprised. I think a LOT of the people with decent jobs who don't work there buy them out of spite. Hell even some of the people that work there buy them just to be somewhat ironic.

easily fixed

Easily. HA! I need just a touch more experience with a wrench to do such a thing.

Plus, this way I can just get a modern Merc diesel and swap it in, along with the stock tranny.

Which likely will never happen.
