It has 186k on the clock, but youd never be able to tell. People that we bought it from had an anti rust coating put on it when they bought it. Has a lifetime warranty against rust.. so the one small rust hole in therocker is getting fixed for free!

Also has every option that was available that year....except nav.

Somebody got their tax money back already...............I thought you were going to rebuild the bottom end of your engine? Or is that going to wait a few years now?

So little rant here, because, it amazes me that people well into their 50's can still act like complete children. This may be long... Sorry

So little backstory, the wifey's parents weren't doing so well down in Georgia, lack of jobs, their landlord was/is a crook, etc...

So they decided they would give it a try here in Southwest Va. Her mom came up last August I think, before the kids' started the new school year, found a job quick through a temp agency, and was working regular hours, they planned to be out by November.

Place comes up for rent just up the road from us, but it rents out quickly, after that she stopped looking for places to live.

Shortly after her hours get cut and eventually isn't working any at all, but her husband gets disability.

Now, the wifey's dad wasn't supposed to come up till after his wife found them a place of their own but he fast forwarded that and come up in September or October, can't remember.

Still, plans were for them to find a place of their own, but they never did, they never looked after he came up. Finally got to the point that we told them on January 2nd they had to be out by February 3rd.

They were ok with it, they filled out some applications for apartments in Marion but were denied.

After that they quite looking completely, still they knew they had to be out but I guess they figured they'd talk us into them staying longer.

So it comes to Saturday, Feb. 1st and they asked for another week, now if they had applications in and were waiting to hear back I could see giving them a week, but they did not. So we stuck to the Feb. 3rd date.

And they left on Monday, and after the local shelter said they were full and could send them to either North Carolina or Indiana they decided to go back to Georgia and stay with friends who could afford and have the space to have them live there.

Here's were the child bullsh!t comes in, they knew the situation here before they moved up, knew this wasn't a permanent stop for them, they had nearly 6 months to find a place, and we gave them a month notice to figure something out and they decided to tell everyone that we kicked them out for no reason and gave them no time to find a place.

We try to help people out and when things don't go their way instead of acting like adults and owning up to the fact just it just didn't work out, they have to drag our name through the mud to make themselves look better.

While they were here they never once helped buy food or household items, they both, while currently unable to afford their basic housing costs in Ga, went and bought a new truck and a new car, so almost every penny of his disability went to the car/truck and insurance payments, yet it's our fault they have no money?

It's just bullsh!t.

My doors are CLOSED!

^^^ Everytime we kick people out of the campground for being stupid they get on the web and bash us to no end and yet they were the ones in the wrong. Not to get into details but the renters in the house owe over $2000 in power bills and yes they are getting evicted at some point and guess what we will be the bad landlords again!

It is what it is bud.
