    Default Missed out on the deal of the century...damn.

    a 95' 6-spead 540i for $1,500 ????!
    http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/m...564201771.html

    I didnt discover this ad till 3 days after it posted (which i suspect was 2.5 days longer that it lasted)

    Am i off base to think the person that did get it may be the happiest guy on earth? Cosmetic and upkeep repairs aside, this was as steal.

    I've responded to stuff like this moments after it posts with no reply.
    If anyone was ignorant enough to be serious about that ad the responses flooding in would educate the seller quickly as to the car's real value. I doubt there are many 540 6 spd. owners who don't know what they have.

    Not that it makes a diff at this point, but in defense of myself in the gullibility department, the ad didnt include any email contact info (zero chance of email scam). He listed a phone#, which i called, and he simply responded "oh yeah, thats gone". And I said "i figured" and hung up. What this means? No clue. just sayin nothing about it points to scam. Joke?? you never know...

    I missed out last January to buy a gold 540i/6. The seller wanted 6,000 for it. A few weeks later I saw the price had dropped to 4,500 and then the car disappeared shortly there after. It had 116K. The only feature it didn't have were lumbar support on the sport seats.

    "Its time to kick ass, and chew bubblegum... But I'm all outta gum" is the correct quote

    I believe your thinking of the newer/"Duke Nukem" adaptation of the quote.

    I am quoting the original - Rowdy Roddy Piper in 'They Live' (a true classic of 80s cheesy horror/action flcks) Again my people, Give me some credit here!

    Default They Live

    I just made my wife watch it with me cuz it was one of the funniest movies of the decade (kind of). I can't believe John Carpenter actually has his name attached to it. Roddy should have his own page on mulletsgalore for that one.
