Bought a Taco instead of a 996.

Had a customer call me , and wanted me to help him flip a 2003 Tacoma he fell into . He got it for under a grand, needs a clutch ( does not move) , and supposedly an 02 sensor. Inside is dirty but will clean up nice, outside is real nice, but wheels have never been washed and are pitted , ugly , and black.
He wanted me to put the truck, back together, and he would provide the truck,, and the cash for parts, and we would split profit.
I was looking for a replacement for my Shop beater jeep, so I made him a nice offer, and he took it. He made a nice chunk of money, and I still got a sweet deal.
Had one of those epic nights trailering it home tonight. Had to squirrel my truck, and trailer through some of the hilliest, narrow, winding ,cars parked on both sides , not nice neighborhood Pittsburgh city Streets. The truck was actually in a nice neighborhood, but in trying to avoid the real hilly narrow streets, I had to go though pretty much one of the worst neighborhoods in the Burgh. There was one moment, where we had to squeeze through a straight shot of about 6 cars on both sides . I had less than 2 inches on either side, and had to stop , and back up several times, all the while , the boys in the hood, were making comments , I think I shat a little.
I'll post up some photos in the am. Just got home.
