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!
Dude, that means a lot to me! Thanks for caring and thank you so much for the resteem! :)
Happy to return the favour buddy! Hopefully I have a follower somewhere near you who is open to the idea! Great idea btw! And have agreat time with the family on your trip too mate! :)
That would be fabulous! Thanks man, see ya around the bend!
I upvoted and re-steemed. my family and I moved to Sandpoint, ID from Atlanta- I feel your pain!! Try a Buy-Here-Pay here... they get a lot trade-ins. Good luck!
Wow! So you are in Sandpoint right now? 'Cause that's where we will be headed!
I am in Williston, ND now, but I lived in Laclede for about 9 months ! It is gorgeous and crazy all at the same time !! The West is quite different than the south.
Ah ok, very cool! I was born and raised in Nashville, but I must admit, I reeeaaally enjoy the west.
I do now and moved from Sandpoint to Kalispell and then to North Dakota - I don't think I will ever live on the East Coast again, but I plan to visit Nashville to go to a Predators game!!
Gotta love the Preds!
I am still devastated!
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!
Thanks so much, @denmarkguy! That is a huge help!
I agree, I really look forward to that day.
TSA gives me the creeps. lol
Wow, crypto innovation in action. I love the idea and would like to give you my new BMW exclusive however I live in Germany. If ok, let me know..Great guy, thanks for sharing and safe journey.
Whoa! A Beemer may be a tad out of my price range. haha And Germany is sorta far, also....But thanks for thinking of me! :D
Welcome buddy..may be you guys will make it to Germany one day..keep powering up buddy and more success. Enjoy your journey and wish you and your family safe journey.
Thanks so much, man! We really appreciate.
It would be really cool to visit Germany one say!
Welcome, lets stay in touch...Success to you.
I was motivated by your HFORK post and thus posted about it today on my blog page. I mentioned you @rigaronib too and hope you check it out. Thanks for your great work and safe journey
Oh very cool! I will take a look, bud. :)
Welcome and thanks for checking out my blog post and sending in your support-bless you
You live in Germany and you own a BMW? Brilliant 😁
Good idea @rigaronib ! I follow you! Keep cal and steem on!
Hey thanks, @xdauqzaru!
Fantastic idea. I will be watching this post to see what happens
Thanks, @gringalicious!
This is a new approach!
For sure! @riosparada offered one of his houses for STEEM a while back...I wonder if that ever worked out.
Unfortunately I don't live in the U.S. but i wish you the best of luck.
Would be really cool if you find someone to trade. We should use cryptos more and more in the real world so it becomes accepted in the future by everyone!
Thanks, @ggorwell!
I agree completely - crypto is the future, without a doubt!
I hope you can find a great car! I will be praying! :)
Thanks, @lifes-a-donut! Prayers are definitely needed. :)
It is an excellent idea!
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?
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!
Ah ok, cool deal. Thanks for the info, @snubbermike!
I hope you get a cool car or I am going to make fun of you
It'll probably be a Lamborarri...or a Kia.
This is awesome! I'm sadly not selling any cars (don't own one myself) nor do I live in Nashville, although I got to visit for three days once and it was amazing.
Resteemed, good luck.
Darn it! haha
Thanks for the help, @heymattsokol! You are awesome!
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. :)
Hahaha Sounds like a Craigslist special!
Excellent, my daughter has just finished her degree in graphic design - she is now looking for a proper job to put her skills to good use. I will forward her this, she will enjoy your post on the subject. :D Please follow me I hae just clicked follow you. :D
Hey very cool! Congrats to your daughter. :)
"I threw a dime in the well, don't ask me I'll never tell" well okay then she got a 2:1, thrilled, got a 2:1 which is fab!
Thanks for the message :D
I'ma be honest..this comment makes no sense.
sorry was just teasing with the lyric form the song...that's a line from it too, a 2:1 is a very good standard of pass for her degree. No worries sorry if it was confusing...I love my car so will not be looking to sell it for some time. :)
OOOOH, Oh. Now I get it...Sorry, I don't know the whole song. haha Cheers!
Hahaa there ya go! hopw its been a good SteemIt day for you.
Hmm so I have a 2014 320i BMW with less than 50K miles and I am in Atlanta, but how much Crypto and what kind of Crypto are we talking? haha. Thanks. Enjoyed the post either way.
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!!!
Resteemed. Good luck with this! I'm afraid I can't help you personally, Australia is a bit far away :)
Aiy! It would be a bit difficult to drive to Australia! haha
This post received a 2.7% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @rigaronib! For more information, click here!
You will be like the guy with the pizza in a few years :)) Good luck finding the car!
Hahaha I can see that happening. Maybe there is a reason that no one has spoken up. lol
I like it I vote you plz you interested in nature and tourism visit my page to support me thanks again
This is the whole idea; we want a world where crypto is a reality than ever. thanks for that bold choice you've made, take good care of your family @rigaronib and please drive safe when your SUV finally arrived.
Thanks so much for the encouragement, @maxdevalue! You're awesome!
I will surely look for it, if I find anything good I will let you know about it.
Cool! Thanks, @rocksg!
Welcome dear.
