Be forewarned, this WILL be a waste of your time! If time is of value to you stop reading now.
We all have a buddy that finds pleasure in torturing friends, this is a perfect example of that. A little back story, so you have an idea of what I am working with here. He bought an old car a few years back and decided to sell it. I never seen it but was interested. I asked for pics and received a photo every couple of days. Like he was holding it hostage and these pics were proof-of-life. The pics were ALL close ups of stuff like a single lug nut, key lock, lower right corner of the grill logo, an oil spot on the floor
So he calls me last Tuesday (29th), all excited (which could be part of the game) telling me about his trip to the other coast (Florida) and he went to a antique junk shop and bought me a present.. but.. won't tell me what it is.. grrrr
He is the type of person that will spend a bunch of money just to screw with someone. That said this item could have been $1 or $500, lol..
Verbal clues have been:
He "hauled" across the state for me (pickup truck)
He used the word "console" but then said he needed help loading and unloading it?!?!
Said "You don't have one of these!" (makes me think cocktail cab, cause I don't have one)
added: He said "and if you cant get it working you will put something else in it"
So the hook is now firmly set in my cheek.. I asked for a pic and should have known better. See attached.. I will post any followups,
