Re: Should I stop by or send a letter?

Stop by but if the guy obviously doesn't want to talk leave graciously. Had a guy stop by once and wanted to talk about my truck as I was leaving for work (working nights at the time). Told him it wasn't for sale and that I had to leave but he wouldn't back down. He was about my dad's age telling me how he had one when they were new but his was a short wide and way nicer, faster, cooler, etc. than mine but would settle on my long box. After about 5 minutes had to tell him to split or I'd call the cops. Spent the rest of the night wondering if I'd come home to some vandalism or a missing truck. Thankfully nothing happened.

I stopped by a place to ask about a 64 Ford Galaxie (can I say the F word on this site?) Guy came out with a golf club and his wife was standing by the door with one shoulder inside, probably holding a shot gun. After I explained I was interested in checking out the car things got calm and friendly. Never asked if they were expecting trouble but I did score a new ride.
