>cost
i think it was more than 10-12 years ago i snagged it off cl
>just a blurry picture of the side panel in a garage full of car parts. said generator $2k. no other info
for some reason that didnt seem right so i looked up the model and saw it was a compressor
called and it was a mexi lady that spoke about 3 words of english
>somehow get enough info through to get directions to the place
get there and its a shithole in a little mexico ag worker town
>somebody was obviously running a honda chop shop in the garage
no dude around just the lady
compressor all the way in the back
dig it out. of course the battery was dead. honda v twin with no pull start
little quartz hr meter said 30 something and there was a sticker from a rando rental house 2 states away
>shit its going to be a total gamble
offer 5 bills
>no senior. 2 thousands
come on. im here with cash. $1k
>idk. i make phone call
she disappears. i figure im about to get whacked for the cash
also trying to figure out how to load 400 lbs with no lift
lady comes back
>he says $1200. no less
ok deal. hand the cash
>you load. i no help. es muy fuerte
whatever
spend 45 mins screwing around like a monkey trying to fuck a football moving honda parts and building an egyptian ramp out of shit to push it up in the pickup
got it loaded and just drove off leaving mt shitmoore in the driveway
snagged a lawnmower battery on the way home. hooked it up. checked the oil. typical honda didnt even make it around once and fired off. blew like a banshee
ive run it hard. short tripped it which is terrible for screws and its been faithful ever since
i think a safety release valve is the only part besides filters ive had to change
id buy another at full price if it died. i think theyre $11kish now but from canada so maybed tariffed
