My next door neighbor used to buy a car at the dealer's auction, his Dad has a used car lot in Enid. Anyway, neighbor goes thru the car cleaning it and getting it running. Even takes out the interior and stroons it about his front yard. The car will sit for a week sometimes 2 with all the doors open. Then usually after 3 or 4 months of dinking with it sells it.

One time he came over and asked me if I knew how to get a gauge cluster apart. A bug had crawled in where the trip reset switch is and was too big to get back out the same hole. Last time he had a car fixin it up there was tape over the trip reset hole.

Another time he was cleaning up a full sized blazer. You could barely see where someone had painted over the Border Patrol sticker on the door. There was over an inch of sand under the carpet. I don't even know how you would do that.

The last car he got at the auction he brought a Suburban home late one evening. That night it was stolen. Before he even had a chance to get the title transferred or call an put it on his insurance. He was pissed as it was obviously and inside job at the car auction.

The longest project was a 2 horse horse trailer he brought home after the Suburban. It sat in his driveway with him working on it off and on for 4 years. It had a LOT of surface rust. He said he was going to repaint it when he got everything fixed. I didn't think there was that much to fix on your basic horse trailer?
