Read about a guy in western Canada who sold his 69 Charger. The purchaser showed up with an truck and trailer and the seller took pictures of the guy,truck and trailer. Paid with a certified check. He then finds out the check is a forgery. Truck and trailer were also stolen.
I thought maybe it would be good to list some pointers on how to sell your car. I know recently I advertised my Magnum and got a bunch of junk including the marine biologist at sea who wanted to buy it for his father. Wanted to transfer the money to me and have his people pick the car up. Couldn't get his location to send a missile.

Recently in buying vehicles, I have used a bank draft. I'm sure these could be forged as well. What precautions do you take in selling?

Cool video from my home province.

Maybe it's time to start tracking fuel costs again?

Iran is threatening a ban of all oil to European Union for 5 to 15 years. On that note gasoline has jumped to $123.6 per litre around here today and there is talk of $150/barrel soon. China and India want all the oil they can get. That's where our jobs have ended up. Obama rejected the pipeline from Canada and there's opposition about shipping oil down the west coast.

On an interesting note, Steve Job has said that jobs will not come back according to what I read in the New York Times yesterday. His comment at the time was that a few years ago they made a sudden change to new phones coming out. Couldn't have been handled in the old US factory but the Chinese could handle it. The Chinese factory had 8,000 works living in a dormatory and called them to work on short notice. They looked after the change in a 12 hour shift. Sounds like slave labor to me. Recently saw on the news about a Chinese couple trying to get home to see their kids. Couldn't get a flight for their once a year visit because they have to work a long distance from their home. Big business promotes this.

Not very good pictures. I was pretty good with a 35mm when I needed to be for work, but messed up with the wife's digital on these.
Got the Mopars all together yesterday.
