We haven't met, and this is crazy - But I want to trade you crypto for your car...so contact me, maybe?

in #steem7 years ago

So I'm sitting and eating meatloaf for breakfast...

(Yeah, yeah, I know - Breakfast of champions.) 


And this stupid crazy idea hits me...But before I delve into my idea, I'll mention where my life is heading within the next month.  Around July 20th-ish, my wife, kiddo and I will be making the trip up to Northern Idaho. We have decided that instead of buying plane tickets and going through TSA, only to have our junk felt up - 

We want to turn this into a road trip!

There's only one small problem...We need a car!

Now hold on just a second, Sparky. Before you read that and think, "What a scam, he just wants to make a bunch of money, rape the rewards pool and then split" - That's not what I'm saying. I'm not asking for money at all...

I actually want to trade my crypto for your car!

(be that STEEM or BTC)

So here's the gist. I'm currently in Nashville and I am looking for a vehicle, preferably on the cheaper side of the spectrum, that I can trust to to make a 2,100 mile journey and keep on ticking once I'm there.

I will need room for me, my family (wife and 2 year old) and several (5 or 6)  suitcases, so a small to midsized SUV, Wagon or Pick-up would be best. I would prefer it to be AWD or 4WD as I will be in northern Idaho for the winter, and there is a rather substantial amount of snow on the ground from late October to early April. It would also be nice to find something with a V6 or smaller, that way I don't spend $3M on gas while traveling! haha 

So now that you an idea of what I'm looking for, spread the word!

And let me know what you've got!

(You can find me on Steemit.chat under the same handle.)


TL;DR Version:

I'm looking for someone in the SOUTHEAST United States (preferably near Nashville) that has a small to mid-sized SUV, wagon or pickup in AWD or 4WD for sale. Why? Because I want to trade them crypto for it so that I can make a 2,100 mile roadtrip to Northern Idaho in about 1 month. If you or someone you know has a vehicle that is RELIABLE and on the cheaper end of the spectrum, please let me know!





I don't like asking, but if you don't mind, a resteem for visibility would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Steemians!

Sort:  

It is my pleasure to resteem this post for you @rigaronib! I definitely wouldn't want you and your family being legally molested by the TSA so I hope this works out for you buddy!

Dude, that means a lot to me! Thanks for caring and thank you so much for the resteem! :)

Happy to return the favour buddy! Hopefully I have a follower somewhere near you who is open to the idea! Great idea btw! And have agreat time with the family on your trip too mate! :)

That would be fabulous! Thanks man, see ya around the bend!

I upvoted and re-steemed. my family and I moved to Sandpoint, ID from Atlanta- I feel your pain!! Try a Buy-Here-Pay here... they get a lot trade-ins. Good luck!

Wow! So you are in Sandpoint right now? 'Cause that's where we will be headed!

I am in Williston, ND now, but I lived in Laclede for about 9 months ! It is gorgeous and crazy all at the same time !! The West is quite different than the south.

Ah ok, very cool! I was born and raised in Nashville, but I must admit, I reeeaaally enjoy the west.

I do now and moved from Sandpoint to Kalispell and then to North Dakota - I don't think I will ever live on the East Coast again, but I plan to visit Nashville to go to a Predators game!!

Gotta love the Preds!

I am still devastated!

I can imagine! haha

Upvoted and resteemed... because I am all about moving us (one tiny step at a time) closer to a world in which BTC (and other alt coins) are as common as a method of payment as Visa and Mastercard.

But also because I am interested... AND I had the idea of anyone getting molested by the TSA and their powdered surgical gloves. Ick!

Thanks so much, @denmarkguy! That is a huge help!
I agree, I really look forward to that day.

TSA gives me the creeps. lol

Wow, crypto innovation in action. I love the idea and would like to give you my new BMW exclusive however I live in Germany. If ok, let me know..Great guy, thanks for sharing and safe journey.

Whoa! A Beemer may be a tad out of my price range. haha And Germany is sorta far, also....But thanks for thinking of me! :D

Welcome buddy..may be you guys will make it to Germany one day..keep powering up buddy and more success. Enjoy your journey and wish you and your family safe journey.

Thanks so much, man! We really appreciate.
It would be really cool to visit Germany one say!

Welcome, lets stay in touch...Success to you.

I was motivated by your HFORK post and thus posted about it today on my blog page. I mentioned you @rigaronib too and hope you check it out. Thanks for your great work and safe journey

Oh very cool! I will take a look, bud. :)

Welcome and thanks for checking out my blog post and sending in your support-bless you

You live in Germany and you own a BMW? Brilliant 😁

Good idea @rigaronib ! I follow you! Keep cal and steem on!

Fantastic idea. I will be watching this post to see what happens

This is a new approach!

For sure! @riosparada offered one of his houses for STEEM a while back...I wonder if that ever worked out.

I hope you get a cool car or I am going to make fun of you

It'll probably be a Lamborarri...or a Kia.

I hope you can find a great car! I will be praying! :)

Thanks, @lifes-a-donut! Prayers are definitely needed. :)

Unfortunately I don't live in the U.S. but i wish you the best of luck.
Would be really cool if you find someone to trade. We should use cryptos more and more in the real world so it becomes accepted in the future by everyone!

Thanks, @ggorwell!
I agree completely - crypto is the future, without a doubt!
