    I'm looking to spend like 10k on a new toy. Car or bike can need a bunch of work but would like it to run and drive half decently because I would like to fly somewhere and drive/ride it home. Anyone got anything sitting in the corner of the garage interesting?

    Just stuck the ribs on the grill. I think my charcoal got wet because even using lighter fluid my fire died down real quick. I use lump charcoal so sometimes that stuff is a bich to get lit.

    10k total?

    Want a 38ft toyhauler? You can have it for 5k.

    Already have too many trailers. I gotta thin my herd out also. I'm looking for a interesting car or bike. I would love to find a early Sportster or air cooled vw but I'm open to pretty much everything. Last time I did this I bought a 69 blazer in Texas and took my time getting home, it was fun.

    How about a 2011 Sportster 1200? Its set up like a old man bike with a windshield and saddlebags, but its super clean and has low miles.

    That could be a possibility. I really don't need another newer Sportster (I have a 05 currently) but the ride could be fun. What model is it? XL? What front wheel (wire or mag), what color?

    NOAA is calling for 150 mph winds for SW Utah towards Salt Lake City this afternoon.

    There is no point even trying to truck in the area. It will blow you over like tumbleweed for a few hours. Potentially halting all trade if hundreds or thousands are blown over.

    Those are great questions and I cant remember. Someone I know has it and offered it to me as a trade for my toyhauler, but Im not really looking for another motorcycle at the moment, Id rather have something 4 of us can enjoy, or put the extra cash into a truck 1st if next year if what Im planning works out.

    I found a rambler wagon in Brownsville TX that looks pretty neat. I sent the guy a email asking for a ton of detailed pics and told him what I am looking to do. It's hard using Craigslist for this because when I tell people I'm in Florida looking to fly out and drive the car back they think I'm a scam and with how bad Craigslist has gotten I can't say I blame them. I have about a 50% chance of just being ignored.
