Don't P!ss Off Dad!

Not certain if I did this correctly. A funny ad for a GTO.



My deadbeat son purchased this car 15 years ago, or I should say my wife purchased it for him because he is a little ****, and now he treats it like a Canadian thistle. He is away for a bit "discovering himself" and I want to sell before he comes home to teach him a lesson to treat his toys with respect. It just sits in a garage I built for him doing nothing, much like what he does now.

Anyway, it's mid-restoration with all original parts. Will trade for photography equipment of equal value.

May have other cars to give away, just as long as you take the GTO too.

My parents provided a safe a loving home for me to grow up in. Free food and lodging.

When I wanted to start driving dad told me to find a car I could afford. Dad did give me an interest free loan and he paid for the insurance until I turned 18. That was it. If the car needed anything, I paid for it or fixed it. I can't complain a bit.

It sounds like the dad in the ad above should have tried that deal with his son.

Going to go pack an overnight bag and grab a wad of cash.

I'm local...have a 1 ton truck and a trailer.

No Photography equipment (I actually might still have an old inop Leica...I'll look), but I'll be happy to barter work services (Composite stuff) PM if interested.

You can't fix a dead-beat...regardless of the "deal" presented to them. They just simply are not in the game, sadly.

It is real. I found it on the Portland, OR Craigslist. I think it is in Seattle area.
