I go into a buddies shop and see a nice Duster. Or so I thought

I have a good friend of mine and fellow retired Firefighter, name is Vince. His wife went thru hell with colon cancer. She beat it and was cancer free for 1 year, at the two year check up they found out it had come back with a vengeance. Doctor gave her a year to year and a half to live. She lasted about 16 months. Well she had gotten a life policy on herself years before and told Vince , when she died, she wanted him to go out and buy the hotrod he had been wanting. He looked for a long time before settling on a 1966 GTO tri-power 4 speed goat. And with the help of a few people to assist him he bought a beautiful nicely restored Hot Rod.
I would hate to think my friend or someone like him would get taken by a low life like this Duster owner and be sold this POS.

Think about what would have happened if Vince went through all that he'll, and then got toasted by some unscrupulous, money grubbing turd.

That is why junk gets called out, people express opinions very dogmatically and take it very seriously.

This "hobby" is expensive. I have spent most of my adult life doing it and most of that, as a professional. I've seen families destroyed because people spent themselves stupid broke over a car. Hell, I've seen it on TV shows where people bring in cars that have been in and out of shops for decades, spent tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars with nothing to show for it.

I am forever amazed we don't find more people floating down rivers for some of the death traps I have seen that people spent a fortune on.
