    First day back

    Got back from Oklahoma last night late, I ran 45 sites while there. I won't have any work for two weeks so back to the cars

    I got these 3 today, I've got two lined up for tomorrow and one for Saturday. So far Friday I don't have any calls.



    The impala will run and drive but sometimes it won't start, it's pretty nasty on the inside. The Suzuki is junk, bad motor. The eclipse I drove home, it's got issues but I'm gonna try to sort thru them and as sorry a replacement it will be it may replace my 3000gt



    expect the worst and hope for the best

    I would just love your leftovers. Most of mine the rust falls apart before I load them. The rust wt. is usually greater than the steel loaded. Then it is decision to shovel the rust for the extra wt. or just let it die of natural causes.

    I had probably 20 calls while I was gone to buy cars, I've pulled all my ads except for the one on here. I really don't know where they are getting my number

    The ads are working great! Anyone else you could farm these out to when you are gone? Maybe someone from here...

    I think the eclipse is a keeper, just got back from a 30 minute ride with no mechanical issues, I may insure it on Friday after another test tomorrow

    Maybe they are getting your # by word of mouth.

    You have been "planting seeds" for a while.. I'm starting to get an uptick after a year + of just getting out there and getting my name out there. I've gotten feedback from people that talked to other people that I bought cars from.. they all say how professional and courteous I was.. which is nice to hear. Hoping for referral business from those seeds!

    Glad you made it back safe and sound brother!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    I'm agreeing with word of mouth, an this here site. Everytime someone searches for a car guy in your area, likely your popping up via the forum.

    I scrap cars at my work but would not do it on my own time. I have a habit of wanting to keep cars. The wife wanted to kill me one time after I got up to 12 cars sitting in the yard at one time.

    67 slant 6 one owner, original interior. It's actually Steve's who is my old partner. We picked it up probably two months after we started buying cars. Had it running in probably two hours of getting it home. Those that remember we got it a couple houses down from the greyhound bus

    That eclipse is a sweet ride, congrats. I've been hit with an unhealthy dose of the flu for 10 days, on the mend now. Seems lost of ppl. have cars for sale, had to refuse 4 of them! It's been real cold here also, maybe x-mas bills coming in, cost of heating is high people need money, can't wait to start feeling better.

    It's been a couple years now but I think I bought 5 cars in a week in the 1stor 2nd week in January. It was our first big week. Around holidays it's always busier and you seem to get the best deals.

    That's a nice-looking Eclipse. As a mechanic, I would also like to thank you- One less of those Suzukis on the road is a good thing
