i work at a lil gas station, and out of the window i see a S4 red vert. i stare at it sooooooo hard that i swear i made it turn into the parking lot with my mind!

im soo excited that it came to my store! it had a for sale sign in the windsheild!! 1,000 obo!! i put 100 down on it today and putting the rest on it friday the 13th!!

Awesome find

Just be careful on the way home after purchase. You may find Jason waiting in the back seat.

Can't wait to see some pics!
