I haven't been driving my ITR lately, prefering to use some of the first tank of gas I'd actually put in my 85 Rex lately.

So I decided to tuck the fenderliner into the fender and tiewrap it in place (aftermath of someone hitting my car in the apartment parking lot), when I notice a scrap of paper under the driver's side wiper.

Someone left a note with his cell number, asking if I was interested in selling my car, saying that he'd been looking for one ... etc.

After giving it less than a moment's thought, I realized that it's unlikely I'd ever willingly part with #151.
I'm still keeping that scrap of paper with his cell # on it, just in case my car ends up "disappearing" any time soon. Ed

 

:eek:

that would probably make me a little nervous, but there are some honest people left in the world I suppose.

 

I did that when I was looking for a 96-00 hatchback. You'd be surprised how pissed some people are when they call you and start bitching how you touched their car.

If I was you since you drive an R, I'd keep a watch on it. Writing the note was probably a cover up as he was writing down the VIN when a neighor walked out and asked him what he was doing.

 

I dont know man, sounds fishy. If your not looking to sell it....dont bother. Ask him how much he's looking to spend before you go any further. Dont give him a test drive until you have all or most of his info. If you do meet up, do it far away from where the car sleeps. Remember......you dont know if this guy is trying to make a parts list, your car as the donor. A friend of mine had his Si stolen while he had it up for sale. Someone test drove it......liked it.......then had it stolen!

thats coo, dont sell it

He already knows where it "sleeps", since that's where he left the note.
I'm not planning on calling, or selling.

 

Call him up and tell him to meet you at a truck stop.....

Then kick that bitches ***! Fight, get him, punch him in the nads!

 

The only time someone left me a note was saying "Very Nice Car" This was outside a mall.

That's pretty big talk from someone that's only going to be drinking "chocolate milk" at the Expo.

I moved it in the parking lot so its not as obvious!

Liar!

I left you a note once

 

I left a note on some ******'s kia that boxed me in...took me 10 minutes to get out... 2 ******* inches at a time.

something along the lines of that old printable insert that was flying around not that long ago like... "Thanks for parking so close. Next time why don't you leave me a ******* can opener so I can get my car out??"

 

Ive actually gotten a few notes put on my car of people wanted to buy it...i should have sold it when i was offered 22k about a year ago....on second thought..i shouldnt have

Carry overhead projector markers in your car. That way, you can leave a very nasty note right on the glass. It *really* pisses people off, until they remember it just wipes off


[on-topic] Ed, keep a close eye on #151. It would really suck to lose her so close to Exblo time

 

I had that happen about a year ago. I felt the same way, but nothing ever happend. I eventually meet the guy some months later and he was cool.

 

I once got a note on my car wanting to buy it. But it was on my cheap little beater which is worth more to drive it to death than to sell it.

 

I use to get love notes all the time...

 

I was once left a note on my hood, trunk lid, bumper and........hmmm i think thats about it. I couldn't make it out but it went something like this "I hope you didn't mind me keying your car, i am an ignorant bastard and shall you ever catch me i would hope you would break my arms and legs". Never got to meet up with the young fella but i promise you all that shall i ever i will beat the tar out of the little bitch!

 

Hahaha .... yowww!

 

Someone did that when I had my 300z. Nothing ever happened. I have a garage though, so I feel pretty safe.

 

yea keep the paper you never know when you will need it..

when i had my 440 hemi 68 charger i threw it away. i was paranoid like you " who the f put **** on my car. oh its a note wanting to buy my car. i also said the same thing."im never going to sell my baby" 1 year later " damn i should have kept that paper with the guys number on it" car sold easily never the less but im sure i could have gotten a couple of hundred bucks more out of the previous guy, since he was eager to buy..

keep it safe...

 

Call him up and tell him that you'll meet him at some shopping mall or somewhere and then go along in another car, when he gets pissed off waiting and leaves, follow him and see where he lives....then ring him again and tell him how you decided to pull out as you've decided not to sell...you now know where he lives and if god forbid your car gets stolen, make a bee line straight to his house and jar him up about it!

 

yea i would keep his number too.

Hehe ... look guys, that's what insurance is for.
But I WAS curious what kind of replies I'd get if/after I'd posted something like this.

 

I still say KICK HIM IN THE NADS!

 

sounds innocent enough to me. Ive left a note on a car before asking if they wanted to sell it. they even called me back. no big deal.
