And what the hell is a 'right up' anyways? Is english not your first
language Eric? If you have nothing important to say, then don't please. You
don't have time to do a 'right up', yet you've got time to trash someones
attempt to sell a van that you've never seen.

A $1000  bucks is a good price to pay even for a project.
