    I thought I had seen it all, Today showed me I have a lot to see yet.

    Went and found a good deal on a car and a 3 wheeler ( one of those "buy both for a better deal" ). When we got there we seen something I had never seen before. See picts below. I guess a few more rolls of Duct tape are now on the TF list!!

    Gas to go get it: $50
    Car and 3 wheeler: $500

    Seeing a hole in a tire sealed via Duct tape: Priceless

    Hahahahaha! Thats some good maint for you.
    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check Made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    The oil is a light tan, air filter slightly dirty, all the bearings seems tight. Gas tank looks pretty good inside. The duct tape suprized the heck out of me. I would have never expected this from a house that was worth at least 1/2 a mil. They parked the 3 wheeler after they stripped the spark plug out during a normal tune up 2 years ago.

    The car we bought same place was parked because they drove it into a ditch and broke the grill and headlights out ( $50- $100 in parts at the junk yard ). They parked it and used it for a paint ball target instead of fixing it. It is a 1989 and has only 88k miles and NO rust. Has a few dents on the back quarter panel from what looks like hail damage. The engine oil looks like it was changed 500 miles ago. The only valid reason I seen for parking it was it was because it is a Plymouth. LOL

    Generally in my experience, the richer people are, the worse they are with common sense repairs, and duct tape is usually the norm until they get a blue collar underpaid Pee on, to do it right..so I am not surprised.. It does make me wonder what kind of job they can hold, that pays so highly. LOL..Nice bargains though.

    never would have thought duct tape would seal a leak in a tire. I keep a roll on me when were riding i guess i can take the tire plugs and plug tools out of the backpack to lighten the load
