BukBuk's gone..but the poverty Ram will be a great hauler...so yea I don't care a ton about utility.[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 4:23 pmI love the Paceman.
That being said, it's more of a one car to do it all. With BukBuk the Jeep Truk, you can afford to have a more road oriented fun thing.
That said...I may end up justifying the "fun car" by using it for some highway miles and DD type activity. Something that's easy to get in and out of and carry some mild things in could make it more useful and get to agree to ride in it more. I'm really intrigued by a Paceman for this purpose...plus AWD I could do some winter time sliding fun.

I decided to replace BukBuk with the cheapest Ram I could lease through the corp. Tradesman with Off-Road group.

I mean, I get it? But I don’t have to have one anymore. As long as I can manually select gears, and the transmission responds quickly, I’m good to go.

I think I sold the Aprilia? Buyer is a pain in the ass. Located about 7-8 hours away. “Too busy to come all the way here to get it”. Reluctant to have it transported. Wants to pay cash, doesn’t have the ability to send funds electronically. Ultimately agreed to ship because I have an acquaintance that transports bikes, but now he needs to carry a stack of cash back to me.
I’m still waiting on the title from the bank, but wants to buy the bike anyway, but is cunting about not being able to tag it right away.
Bruh, can I just get you in contact with my transport guy so we can move this along, or you can pass on it. I don’t care, just stop dicking me around.
For those that jerk off over prices. I bought the bike in NOV 2018 for 15k. Sold for 12. Not terrible. COVID has propped up used bike prices due to lack of new inventory.

Why did I sell? Because I’m a bike cuck and that’s what I do. I’m also kind of tired of having 175hp trying to kill me.

Likely back on an orange bike. Although KTM hasn't released their 2021 naked bike lineup yet, making my slightly nervous that I won't see anything in a showroom until summer.

This is why I hate selling things. People are the worst.

So fucking annoying.
My general rule is if they don't have a firm plan in place to exchange goods for money within 48 hours of first contact, move on, don't waste time on them.
I should've followed my gut.
