After a year of listing on and off, I finally had someone bite on Craigslist that 1) spoke coherent English, 2) wasn’t flaky, 3) could keep an appointment, and 4) actually showed up to look at the car.

And, we couldn’t do the deal because my state makes you retain the license plate, and they didn’t have another one to get home. So, we will try again at the DMV parking lot on Wednesday - unless he gets second thoughts in the next 48 hours and backs out.

Right now, I’ve still got two other prospects, but, one lives on Staten Island and has been stringing me along since January about getting his nearby brother in law to come check it out, and the guy never calls.

One the plus side, I was able to get rid of the stairlift that came with my new house the same day I listed it, but that was free, so, the price was obviously better.

Pretty sure you can drive a newly purchased car home legally without plates, your state my vary

That would make a lot of sense, but, my reading of the regs is that you at least need a temporary tag to go out on the road. We’re meeting again tonight to hopefully conclude the deal, fingers crossed.

One car driveway, one car garage, and three vehicles to park is not an ideal situation. Especially when two of the cars are full-size landyachts that use up every inch of space.

Dude, if you want a ‘70s 4-seater pony coupe with a V8, just buy a freaking Mustang, they’re not hard to find. That smooth straight six is one of the best things about the Z.

The moment he mentioned the Mustang drive train was the moment I decided he was a jackass. And unworthy. Also: Kinja’d.
