Google streetview shows a run down 'hood just like where I grew up. Just don't hold eye contact too long while not avoiding eye contact and you'll be fine.

There's a truck there. I need someone to confirm condition and drive it to make sure it'll make the drive to Chicago if I buy it. I'll buy lunch or dinner and beers if I fly in to drive it up here.

You do not want a run down truck from that area of Houston. It was intimately acquainted with Katrina.

Better be a hell of a deal...

Guess ya better PM one or more of us with some details, and we'll see what can be done. It's actually not that bad of an area, compared to your basic Chi-town ghetto. There's an Autozone down the street as well, in case something breaks on the test drive

That is after the storm...else someone was not busy reacting to the storm and bought a truck in the middle of the mess, got it shipped to HOU very early in Sept 05 and drove it into the Gulf
