    Almost two weeks ago now I found a thrasher cai on detroit craigslist for 75. I texted the number in the ad and ended up using paypal to send him money. I sent it as a gift to be kind and now the guy won't respond back to me and I'm not too happy.

    Thrasher cold air intake

    There is a link to the ad. Guys name is Gary his number is 734 626 2092. Has a 99 gtp.

    If anyone here by chance knows this person and can assist me in anyway I would appreciate it. I'm so tired of everybody being a con artist. Have his paypal address, half tempted to drive the four hours myself to detroit and handle the problem.

    Thanks jeff

    Not even then, remember how much the GPF members trusted Parker and Logan, that's how they'd screwed a ton of people at once. Don't ever trust anyone over the internet with gift payments, period.
