They drove it around the block and decided to take it. I wrote up a receipt, signed over the title and off they went.

2 hours later I hear the car outside my house and they're back wanting to return the car because it has a blown head gasket. Turns out they were from 60 miles from here and tried to drive the car without checking the fluids and fucked the car up about 5 miles from their house. They had just turned around and come all the way back hoping I'd give them their money back. All without plates, registration or insurance.

I sent them packing. In the time they were gone I'd ordered a new lens for my camera.
Could have been worse. If the head gasket didn't blow, the rusted brakes probably would have failed and killed them both on the highway offramp
