Got any good articles in it? I threw all my old StreetTrucks, Truckin, Sport Truck, Car and Driver,.... mags away long ago but sometimes wish I'd held on to them just to look back every once in a while. That'd be pretty interesting.

Juarez is the most dangerous city in the world, literally right next to it is El Paso, the second safest city in the US. Whats that say? Border patrol presence. The two cities are so close they touch, you could throw rocks into Juarez from El Paso.

I spent a few years in us border towns and never actually met or knew of anyone here illegally. I knew a few dudes that lived in Palomas and would come over every morning to work. I spent months on end driving around in the desert covering all the way from El Paso almost to Demming and never saw anyone out there except Border patrol vehicles including helicopters and even a god damn blimp.

Alot of people dont realize the illegals steal an identity once here and thats bad, but the taxes they pay never get collected because their afraid of deportation. Whats the governments incentive to ship them back if they are paying money into their budget and not ever getting a refund?

This would end up in a political discussion, which should not be discussed on a truck forum. Usually ends up in a long drawn out off topic conversation and evenrually seperates members who all share the same passion and why they are here on the forum in the first place. So, I won't entertain the conversation with my opinion, other than to say, I disagree with your analagy, mainly because if that was the only situaiton at hand with illegals, which its not even close, then sure, they wouldn't be a problem. But, fact is, it is a problem and a serious problem that cost taxpayers billions even though a few do pay into the system and never collect it. They also know what to claim on a W4 form so very little is held out.

Sure as ****, here it is.

http://reno.craigslist.org/pts/2177437595.html

This guy posted 2 350's for 150 each a couple days ago, one had fresh paint and the guy said it had new gaskets and looked like a fresh motor. This one pictured was the other.

First thing I said was, "some guy is going to buy these and I will see them back on craigslist the next day for 500 bucks."

There you go. You shoulda been on it and you'd have a motor for your truck. Wasn't that long ago, I bought my 85 K1500 for $500 with a Gm Goodwrench motor and 10K miles on it with all the Eddy adders and headers. Damn I want weather so I can install the transmission and drive that thing.

I was on it, but no money. Its a fact, if I dont have any money I will see unbelievable deals on craigslist. My wife's student loans came in the mail but the check would not clear until 3 days later.

I called the guy and said I cant pay until Tuesday, I did not ask him to hold it for me. But sure as ****, as soon as I have a few bucks to spend on my truck all the deals are gone. I also missed out on a later model pickup with the exact configuration I want for 800 bucks!

I always get myphed by these types of ads where they say "Wanted: Suburban" kinda stuff and then they ask people to send them pics with their best price.

1. Is this is a real person or spam
2. If it's a real person why not just search CL and find on that's been listed? You'll find something much faster!

Here's an example of what I'm talking about
