wallfish 15,935 #6 Posted September 11, 2016 Real distant! Tell him to let you know when he's taking it to the scrap yard and then just buy it from the scrap yard for $50. Then give him $50 more. Win Win 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdleach 525 #11 Posted September 12, 2016 Yup, used to have some close family members like that. They were great folks, unless you had the same last name as they had. They then put the screws to you, and tightened them with an impact. Thankfully, they are all dead now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
