Well, went and picked up another square nose today over in Miami. The best thing is, he said he would meet me at a business. Gave me the business address and we went from there, he said it was a landscaping company... So i was cool with it thinking it was a retail place. The GPS takes us to a residential area and I am looking at the GPS like where the hell are we? Finally about 3 minutes go buy and the nicest Escalade truck goes buy with big ole' rims and the guy inside says, "Hey you going to (name)'s, follow me!" So I followed him into this place with landscape stuff and all. I pull in and it looks like a cover for a grow house. Major one! They have big bins with air controllers on top and electricity to every one. He had one opened, but it had another jet ski in it.
I pull around the bins and some of the trees that were blocking the bins and there the ski was and it looked nice, compression was good, ski ran great and idled good. Front nose, looked to be reinforced, don't know where the intake grate went but whatever.
So... I was like ok man you got the title, im going to go grab my money. Meanwhile my girlfriend, my co-pilot, was over with him and his buddy and apparently he reached his hands up to stretch and she said he had a 9mm gun. No bullsh!t. So she keeps talking for a few seconds then heads over and tells me that I am buying this ski, no matter what. Give him the cash and lets go. I gave him the money, he seemed to be a great guy before and after I gave him the $$$. Gave me a bunch of extra parts and what not, but man what the hell!!!! I know living in Miami can be shady at sometimes but thats nuts!
Close call? Or do you think that is the normal thing to carry a gun all the time in whatever area we were in??
I wonder what would have happend if it had something like low compression or anything, and I said I wasn't interested?
This is by far the most dangerous encounter with jet ski buying I have had.... lol
