Has an Opponaut sold a car to another Opponaut yet?

Oppositelock has been around a long time. We buy and sell cars, but have we done it to each other? I’m not saying this is going to go bad for any reason. But if Steve Lehto still reads through Oppositelock or this whole ordeal, it would likely make him cringe.

Random metro image.

Sure, there was that whole 1 dollar Sentra SE-R thing.

Didn’t G-Body-Man sell his old car to another Opponaut?

Something like that last year? It was a while back, but I remember it.

I tried to give away an XJ Cherokee last winter. Or at least what was left of it. No one bit. ¯\_()_/¯

That’s because you’re the only Opponaut in a 500 kilometre radius.

Ramblin’s Lincoln belonged to Jarod Rose.

Is that the Rain-X stuff? That stuff has a oddly nice smell, something you probably don’t want for your poisonous chemicals.

XJDano > TheTurbochargedSquirrel 10/18/2016 at 21:06

Yes the rain-x washer fluid. I don’t remember a smell. I’ll have to get a whiff next time.

Just wash the windshield, the HVAC will pull it into the car for you. It has an odd citrus/fruity smell.

I’m probably immune to it then. We use some citrus degreaser stuff to get tape residue off that smells of orange. I don’t care for the smell.

Lehto would stooge-slap us for what we’re about to do.

That reminds me, I need to get to the ATM before Friday.

I plan on metro mornings the next couple days. Photo plus a short story. I have tons of stories about this car.

Like on my way back from working in Dayton Ohio I get pulled over... I now have a story for Thursday, although tomorrow is about being pulled over..... I’d rather not keep getting pulled over stories u til the weekend.

I like it but not as much as cherry GoJo. That stuff is GREAT.

As for windshield products I really like the rain-x stuff. I love their wipers which apply rain-x as they wipe. I was rather disappointed when the parts store didn’t have a 19 inch blade when I had to get new wipers for the Mini.

Yes! Thank you. I knew the word van was in the name somewhere, but it wasn’t coming to me.

If you wanted to fix the Niva up and then drive it to Nova Scotia and then give it to me, I’d be fine with that. I’d even buy it for $1! :P

It also has a lot to do with it mostly being a shell with seats. Got no bites on Kijiji either, and hauling it to a wrecker would have got me the cost of getting it to the wreckers, so I donated it to the local volunteer fire department for jaws of life training.

I don’t remember who did it, but one opponaut sold a car to another opponaut for $1.00. That’s right, 100 cents, 4 quarters. Yup

I gave it to TheVancen a week or so prior to moving out of the province. The slot mags he has on it right now are amazing.

I just used up my bottle today. Not totally impressed with how it works, though the normal Rain-X coating stuff is great. Took a while to find the washer fluid down here, as apparently part stores only stock Rain-X’s anti-bug cleaner most of the year. It may only get below freezing a few days a year, but there is zero chance I’m putting a 32 degree washer fluid in my car, frozen windshields are not acceptable.

Certainly a lack of comments recently, but there’s been the odd gif posted to the main page. One hopes the ventilation and ducting business is in good stead, or that he’s knees deep in Ranchero and Mercedes parts.

You realize it would require the purchase price of a 3rd S600 in order for you to successfully coalesce our cars into one, fully loaded, 4 seater, designo, distronic, keyless-go, AMG pack, power trunked, uber 600. Although not a bad idea considering your seats work and mine don’t, but my door locks and soft close works and yours doesn’t. Also my front and rear parktronic is functional.

Also I may need a rear main seal and why do I feel like they’d want to pull the engine for that...

I thought they did. For some reason I thought we each had one working PSE pump and it was the opposite of the others.

No lol. I think there’s only the one PSE pump.
