Hey there, we met some of you at Flipside last week... and now we're back at it again.
There's an auction, ending in 40 hours, for a FIRE TRUCK! and we are seriously considering purchasing the truck.
What we need is a DFW or Austin burner to pick it up in Dallas, and then drive it to The Big Burn (nevada, labor day), and then we'll drive it back to Portland.
There is ALSO a little s-10 stepvan that is ALSO ending in the next day, and that might be the same deal.
Haven't you ALWAYS WANTED TO DRIVE A FIRE TRUCK????

Re: Wrench and deadletter need help... with a FIRE TRUCK!
Tue, June 10, 2008 - 5:48 PMAuction ended at $2200, and we realized that for at least the extra $1200 in gas to get it here, we may as well buy a nice truck closer...
thanks for all the emails and attempts to work it out, though! We'll see if we can bring whatever truck we get to flipside!

Re: Wrench and deadletter need help... with a FIRE TRUCK!
Tue, June 10, 2008 - 5:50 PM1) Have you got a place to store it in ATX or DFW?
2) What's the weight on the truck, cause I just gave up my CDL when I got my Kalifornia license
3) Can I take it out a month ahead of time,...cause I just might do DPW again...

Tue, June 10, 2008 - 7:03 PMTry government auctions and even ebay. Both are good sources for off cars -

Wed, June 11, 2008 - 12:51 AMThe fire truck went for $2200, and though we _really_ considered it, we figured the 5mpg to get it to the man meant we should simply get a better fire truck closer to us...
Thanks for all the emails of support!
