Crusty? I'll wear that moniker. I'll admit I'm gettting old-er, and have less patience with propective scammers.

You described the situation perfectly, and with far more diplomacy than I.

To the OP... I'll grant you a pass. However, keep in mind that 4 posts in one year... and with that nice white car... arouses suspicion.

If he used more than one picture it might inspire a little more confidence that it isn't a scam. Scams are usually price at "too good to be true" though.
