The day prior, I had been pricing out various winter beater vehicles when I came across this absolutely MINT 4WD... Literally posted 3 minutes ago... Low mileage, senior driven, one owner... 2k CAD.

Yes. $1400 USD.

Without even seeing the vehicle, I messaged and asked for a phone number, then spoke to the old man on the phone and said I was going to come and get the vehicle on New Year's Eve... he said that's fine, but he was getting calls already... 3 minutes ago it was posted... So I said, I'll just transfer you the money right now. So I trusted a total stranger and emailed them 2k Canadian...

Then today, I went and picked up the vehicle, sight unseen other than in Facebook photos... and by sheer luck maybe, the old man was there with the key waiting and a signed transfer paper. I picked up a MINT 4WD truck that I can haul the family around in on brand-spanking new studded tires on a MINT frame... for 2k! It fucking rips!!!

Driving it back today, my baby mama had to stop for a pee... so we pulled into this snow-covered parking lot rest stop... and while she pee'd, I fuckin' ripped a whack load of donuts, and when I was FINALLY done... I pulled up to the washroom doors, RIGHT as an RCMP highway patrol car rolled by slow!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!

Maybe this is a sign I need an AI to watch Facebook Marketplace because I snagged this car within 3 minutes of it being posted, because the old man was honest and happy enough to get 2k and have someone friendly to chat with about his old truck. Need an AI that is nice to old people to get their MINT vehicles cheap!

Hope everyone else had a good day... what a day to finish off 2025, new winter beater with a heater!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026!!!!



Haha the truck is MINT for 2k, but not this mint!
Score.

I ended 2025 with my favorite pizza and started 2026 with leftovers of my favorite pizzza.

I'm calling that a win.
