didn't ya hear? dan dan the minivan man took bigger dumps in a ford when he was 12, helped his dad replace the toilet and then took a dump in there too, then he took a dump on top of a dump before taking a dump on many a lawnmower-- all this before he was 15!

dan's probably done more dumps than most of the guys on here.

minvan dan might not laydown perfectly coiled dumps, and he'd be the first to admit it. and he may lack the dumping experience many of us have, but he's assured us that he knows that he's taken dumps so big growing up that most of us probably couldn't handle 'em. and that's not to put us down, he's stating that as a fact.

oh yes, that's right. let's get straight to the younger generation is soft bullshit.

*makes jerking off gesture*

you know exactly zero-point-zero about me, how i came up or my work ethic minivan man.

if you want to start with facts: you're a time waster. a dreamer. a flat *** buster. you talk a big game but you're nothing but a clown.

you're looking at 22K car (if that's even for real) and you're scared to drive it home, what, 200mi? you must have some real dog **** mechanical skills if you can't ascertain a car of that caliber won't make it home, or fix anything that could potentially happen to it on the side of the road. that's super lame and actually i feel sorry for you.

I thought about how I was going to respond to you. First off, the car is for real. I do have good mechanical skills. I have the ability to find things that possibly could go wrong such as belts, hoses, plug wires, etc. There are things that can't be detected with the naked eye such as the ballast resistor, control module, distributor pickup,coil. Fuel pumps can and have went bad without any indication that anything was wrong, I had a water pump go out and it never leaked out of the peep hole. Spare ignition parts can be brought along when bringing a car home. I understand that sometimes a road side repair is un avoidable,but when traveling like 4 hours I just feel that it's both safer and easier to bring it back on a trailer especially not knowing the history of the vehicle. A car could have a over heating issue that maybe the seller didn't want to mention, if this happens then you're stranded until the car cools down and then you have to find out what the problem is. I got my preventive maintenance training when I worked at the airport many years ago, I got some more when I worked at a local school bus garage plus tech school and hands on. I'm in no way saying that I know more than you do or have more experience than you. But I would like a little credit for what I do know. I have learned new things on here and I'm grateful for that. After what I've said about the things that could go wrong with a vehicle do you still think that I'm wrong with wanting to bring it home on a trailer? Once the car is home I plan on going over the suspension, brakes, exhaust and general engine and transmission to be sure that the car is not only safe to drive but run decent too.
