So I'm sitting and eating meatloaf for breakfast...
(Yeah, yeah, I know - Breakfast of champions.)
And this stupid crazy idea hits me...But before I delve into my idea, I'll mention where my life is heading within the next month. Around July 20th-ish, my wife, kiddo and I will be making the trip up to Northern Idaho. We have decided that instead of buying plane tickets and going through TSA, only to have our junk felt up -
We want to turn this into a road trip!
There's only one small problem...We need a car!
Now hold on just a second, Sparky. Before you read that and think, "What a scam, he just wants to make a bunch of money, rape the rewards pool and then split" - That's not what I'm saying. I'm not asking for money at all...
I actually want to trade my crypto for your car!
(be that STEEM or BTC)
So here's the gist. I'm currently in Nashville and I am looking for a vehicle, preferably on the cheaper side of the spectrum, that I can trust to to make a 2,100 mile journey and keep on ticking once I'm there.
I will need room for me, my family (wife and 2 year old) and several (5 or 6) suitcases, so a small to midsized SUV, Wagon or Pick-up would be best. I would prefer it to be AWD or 4WD as I will be in northern Idaho for the winter, and there is a rather substantial amount of snow on the ground from late October to early April. It would also be nice to find something with a V6 or smaller, that way I don't spend $3M on gas while traveling! haha
So now that you an idea of what I'm looking for, spread the word!
And let me know what you've got!
(You can find me on Steemit.chat under the same handle.)
TL;DR Version:
I'm looking for someone in the SOUTHEAST United States (preferably near Nashville) that has a small to mid-sized SUV, wagon or pickup in AWD or 4WD for sale. Why? Because I want to trade them crypto for it so that I can make a 2,100 mile roadtrip to Northern Idaho in about 1 month. If you or someone you know has a vehicle that is RELIABLE and on the cheaper end of the spectrum, please let me know!
I don't like asking, but if you don't mind, a resteem for visibility would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Steemians!
It is my pleasure to resteem this post for you @rigaronib! I definitely wouldn't want you and your family being legally molested by the TSA so I hope this works out for you buddy!

Upvoted and resteemed... because I am all about moving us (one tiny step at a time) closer to a world in which BTC (and other alt coins) are as common as a method of payment as Visa and Mastercard.
But also because I am interested... AND I had the idea of anyone getting molested by the TSA and their powdered surgical gloves. Ick!

Three years ago, I bought a 2006 Jetta diesel for 7.5 bitcoin. (just under $4500 at the time).
Now the important part is to not do the math on what the coin is worth today!!

Exaclty! haha
Where did you buy it from? Did you use a website to find it, or just word of mouth?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I just started asking around. I had met other local people in my community who were into crypto, and it went from there.. It took me about a month to find the Jetta.
I am not sure how big the crypto community is in your area, but using Steemit and maybe some online advertising sites and you might find something. Good luck!

I have a 2001 Honda Accord that has just under 200k miles on it. It is just getting broke in. It is silver... mostly.
It currently has an old Dr. Pepper can, about a dozen tennis rackets and five or six footballs in it currently, but removal can be arranged.
Won't accept less than 10 BTC for it. :)

Yikes! I'll be honest, as much as I would love to have a Beemer...It would most definitely be out of my price range. haha I'm looking for something on the cheaper end, $2k - $3k range.
This is a superb offer, though!!!
