I drive past the Sheriff's impound yard two or three times a week and this has been sitting there for months. I wonder if the charge was conspicuous ridiculousness. Probably not. Not a bad looking car other than the dumbass wheels.

$3500 @ auction and it's probably yours.

The wheels definitely ruin it.

I don't get the fad for low profile tires these days. From what I read they just fuck up the ride and have a shorter life and cost more. They serve no purpose at least on the street and they look dorky in most cases. I had a friend with a Miata who put thin tires on it and it was the worst fucking ride ever. Miatas are bad enough with normal wheels but this was like riding in a horse-drawn buggy going 55. He had to slow down to like 2 mph for railroad tracks and it still threatened to give spinal compression fractures.

my Mustang rode like hell before i put that strut tower brace on it because of the 3" lowering kit. i also will not ever have any offset tread pattern drifter tires EVER again. .
the only thing that will help this particular car's ride is an air ride system. i bet it handles like a horse drawn buggy like it is. (headexplode)

The shit-pumper truck in the back would be a good buy. It can make you money if you don't mind getting dirty.

Yeah, $5000 for the truck and $5000 for all the fees, licenses, permits,and education & testing to get same to operate in an area full of cheap old fucks and out of work people. There's a reason why small businesses are dying off.

i like that body style of Cadillac, but it's still a over priced shitass Chevy in my eyes.

Really? You need a licence to pump shit or grease?
Local Governments are always promoting recycling, why make it harder?

I don't know about Oz but in Florida one needs a license for any business and many if not most require testing and adherance to strict guidelines. I understand that the regulations are put in place to protect the customers of these businesses and, in this case, the environment, but it's become very oppressive and detrimental to anyone wishing to start a small business. I've been kicking around the idea for my own business that will fill a niche here, though it'll have to wait until the situation with my ailing mom plays out, and the number of agencies, local, state, and federal, that will have to be dealt with (and paid, of course) is daunting. Over 20 years ago I saw cartoon taped to the desk at the county building department here that is so true; it said, "My grandfather built a nation and I need five permits to build a porch."

In addition, there are already several septic pumping services in the area which have been here for a very long time. The competition, believe it or not, is fierce. I know because I used to sell products to many of them.
