here is another russian video. they live life large. . . . . notice how smooth the car the video is shot from drives . . . . .

interestingly enough, i was a passenger in a car driven on a russian road like that once a few years ago. russians like narrow roads, slippery with snow, and think nothing of passing when there appears to be no room. drivers on both sides slide over a bit to let you pass . . . . . eventually we decided it was better to not watch . . . . . . .

yes.

Real.

it is on the local CL now, priced at 18.5K$: http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/ctd/2659958869.html

Maybe the offshore buyers will start buying those instead . . . . . .

really? i don't remember it. any idea what the reserve is?

nice truck for short money (so far): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MACK-B81-/290621790971?pt=Commercial_Trucks&hash=item43aa689afb#ht_20312wt_1182 i wonder how much it costs to register an antique in MA . . . .

I believe this is at least his second post for these fenders: http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/pts/2635737851.html

http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/2626779742.html 1962 G73 MACK - $5995 (western ma.) nice looking, but is it really worth 6K$?

well, i am one of them. if you are transferring ownership of the MH to the Mack Museum, i will be glad to contribute my share . . . . if, as was mentioned earlier, it is being loaned to them for some period of time, well . . . . . . . .

Don't forget, the pictures are three years old, from the look of the date on the corner of the pictures. I am not sure if it can only get better with age . . . . .

it ran well when it was parked, in about 1972, from the looks of it . . . . .

I live near Aran Trading. They do have some nice trucks, and price them on the high side, which does have the effect of keeping them inside the country, although it also tends to keep things on the lot, too. Interestingly enough, the prices also seem to go up over time. I don't know if this is because they continue to work on them, or they are trying to recover their costs of carrying the stock. The grey Superliner is a really nice rig. Too much for me, unfortunately, and it keeps getting further away from what I can pay. The new black Superliner looks good in the pictures. Recently, the listed two white Superliners, a restored 79 and a cleaned up 87, both for the same price. Both are still there. I don't know if there is flexibility in the prices or not, as I have never asked. I assume that since things hang around, there likely isn't much room for haggling. The other big guy around here is global truck traders. I bought the R688T dump from them. They do a nice job also. Their stock tends to churn a lot more than Aran's. R model tractors seem to hang around a week or two and then disappear. Hopefully they stay in country, but I don't know. Based on the pricing, I assume they do.

One morning, johnny and his little brother Jimmy, decide to begin cursing. "Johnny, what are you going to say?" Jimmy asked. "I think I'll start with fuck." "the neighbor says god damn a lot, I think I will say that." They go downstairs for breakfast. Their mother asks what they want for breakfast. "I think I'll have some god damn cheerios" Jimmy casually says. Without a word, his mother slaps him so hard, he disappears behind the table. She turns to Johnny, and asks him what he'd like. "I'm not sure, but you can bet it won't be those fucking cheerios" he answers.

well, as a kid i heard something like this . . . . johnny is out at recess, and debbie calls him over. he is standing there, and she is standing there, and johnny says "i have 10 fingers". debbie says "i have 10 too". "i have two ears" "i do too" "i have two eyes" "i do too" johnny stands there for a minute, and opens his pants, and debbie starts crying and runs away . . . . the next day, debbie calls him over again, and after a moment, johnny starts up again: "i have 10 fingers" "i have 10 too" "i have two ears" "i do too" "i have two eyes" "i do too" he opens his pants, and says "i have one of these" and debbie pulls up her dress, and says " i have one of these, and my mother says with one of these i can have as many of those as i want."

when i was a kid, back in virginia, it seemed that all jokes were about johnny . . . . so, johnny is sitting in class, listening to the teacher. "so, class, there are four birds sitting on a fence. you shoot one, how many are left?" johnny's hand shoots up, waving back and forth, while he goes "me! me! i know!" the teacher sighs and says "ok, johnny". johnny smiles a huge smile, and says "Zero." the teacher frowns, and says "no, johnny, the answer is three. you have four, lose one, and you have three left." johnny scowls, and says "no, you shoot one, and the others will fly away." the teacher signs, and says "well, johnny, the answer is three, but i like the way you think." johnny sits the rest of the day, arms crossed, with a sour look on his face. the next day brings more of the same, there he sits. in the middle of the day, he raises his hand. the teacher looks at him, sighs, and says "yes, johnny?" "so teacher, there are three women eating ice cream cones. one licks the ice cream, one bites the ice cream, and one bites the bottom off the cone, and sucks the ice cream out. which one is married?" the teacher is stunned, and finally answers "i dunno, the one licking the ice cream?" johnny answers "no, the one with the wedding ring is married, but i like the way you think."

http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/cto/2592449950.html Nice truck . . . . So, are there any craigslist aggregator sites left anymore? The one I used, jaxed, just dropped the craigslist stuff from it.

100$? I'm in.

ya know, when i was a kid in Virginia, nobody got divorced. today, almost 50% of marriages end in divorce. inter-racial couples were something older people got scandalized about. today, people don't understand what the big deal was about. when my kids are my age, they'll wonder the same thing about gay rights, what was the big deal about?

Variations of that ad have been running for at least 18 months. It seems to me that at one point he mentioned that he was down to the last ones. The ad has slowly evolved over time, the price is the only thing that has remained unchanged. . . . . .

i notice the sleepers have the impression in the back for a window. did the factory ever put a window in the back of a sleeper?

this one is also on CL: http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/2566768884.html for 4500$.

So, in the discussion of the Mack factory truck on eBay, mention was made about how offshore brokers will pay more for a truck than we might expect. Does anyone have an idea of what the "floor" value for these trucks is? How much will a MH613 or a Superliner or R Model sell for to an exporter? This will give me an idea of what I am up against . . . . Thanx.

I got the same message last nite, and a quote from a blues brothers song wafted through my mind: What did I say to piss you off *this time*, baby? Glad things are back . . .
