    Here is another funny one from the same guy. Rusted diamond plate covering up the rust underneath it, no top or doors, nor engine, but who's counting? $1800!

    Just hit the big 5-0. The optimist in me says I’m only halfway through, with another 50 to go.
    Thanks,

    They can get some awesome range between the 2! The other day I was on research & Lamar, she was almost in Manor. We could hear each other no problem.

    Involved in a hit and run today. It was really weird, and hindsight is 20-20 of course. Kudos to APD for being quick on the case and helpful with the police report, etc. Wonder if I'll ever see any money out of these guys.

    I was in the left lane heading westbound on W. 6th, when a carload of Canucks tried to pass me on the right and turn southbound onto Guadalupe, clipping the front right corner of my bumper and tire. At first passenger 1 got out of the vehicle, saying that we would stay in the middle of the road until police arrived and it was my fault. Then came passenger 2 and driver, so I also got out. I pointed out that my vehicle was in the left lane, and theirs was half in the left lane half in the right and it would appear that they were at fault. I then pointed out 2 parking lots within 20' and suggested that we go ahead and wait for police there, rather than tie up traffic. They said the damage on their vehicle wasn't that bad and that I should drive more safely. Then, they walked back to their vehicle! 2 men and one female (driver) all very Canadian probably early to mid 50's.

    I told them that my truck was damaged, and I would be calling the police and reporting them leaving the scene. They got in their car and took off. All they would say is "Good Day, Sir." I got really good pics of them pulling away with license plate, etc. We'll see what happens from here. Scuffed up new tire, bumper, fender flare. Things could certainly be worse, but DAMN that's frustrating.

    Effin A, sorry to hear that. Could always be worse but it still sucks.

    People don't come here to not act like idiots...that's all I can say about it lately.

    If anyone sees a blue Ford Edge with Canada plates, take a picture of the VIN. Apparently that is much more reliable than a license plate. Insurance co/ police have had no luck thus far.
