gman Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 1lo620: That orange truck you posted was formerly owned by Andrew in Norcal who I bought my truck from back in October, 2008. His license plate was YBGELIS. He was running 15's with airbags. I just talked to him yesterday. I have been searching for a picture of it for days. He said the guy who bought it is in Reno and the truck is thrashed ! Thanks for the comments and info about the samba. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 The post you are quoting is 5 1/2 years old. gman's last post was two year ago and he was last here last April. Quote Link to comment
Forsythe Fotography Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I understand it was originally posted in 2009.. If its an old post I cannot make a comment or try to talk to the dude? Are we not allowed to resurrect dead threads? I am confused.. Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 He's trying to tell you that you're probably not going to get a response from a guy who hasn't been on the site in at minimum 4 months and probably more likely a year and four months bro 1 Quote Link to comment
