Sounds like "Midnight Auto Supply" to me.

I drove from St Paul. MN to Canton, OH to get a model of a B-25, I picked up a dash for my Mustang in Indianapolis, ID. I drove to Kingman, AZ to pick up my wife twice, and twice to Maryville, TN to get her.
I quess picking the wife up, doesn't count.

BEFORE they raised the gas price, we would drive anywhere to get just about anything!

We are pretty much the same, my wife hates to take me shopping I usually find something to drag home. One time I went with her to get our daughter a lens for her camera, we came home the owners of a 50 ford chopped top. I traded her wedding dress for a 60 Chevy.

You can basically tell if someone is safe or not. My Son hates it when anyone comes to the shop because he doesn't want people to know what all we have in there, so whenever I sell something on Ebay that has to be picked up he freaks.
I just sold my old arc welder and a guy came to pick it up and you could see he was just an average guy so I gave him the cooks tour, just like you did.

Plus we work with the shop garage door wide open, so it isn't like people who drive by can't see inside.

You just never know who you are talking to on the phone, con artist or thieves, they make their living coning people or stealing, so you have to be leery. Like you said you can spot the real people right away. Every time some one comes to look at a car or whatever I have for sale I first shut the garage door, then we end up in the garage.

Not too long after we moved here to the country a terrible thing happened. A young couple, and like us, they liked cars, and Cats, they were working people, she was a
School teacher, he worked at the county garage and did cars on the side,
They had a fairly new Harley Davidson for sale, a guy came from about 100 to 150 miles from down State that was interested in the motor cycle, he was out to deceive them and one thing lead to another and he murdered the young couple after the husband helped put the cycle on a small trailer. It was so shocking to move to a small place after leaving the high crime area near Chicago and have something like this happen close by. The young couple took in just about every stray cat that came a long; they had some dogs they cared for also. It is a crazy world; good thing the guy that did the killing didn't get 10 miles away before he was caught. Even the country is not like it used to be with all of the drug dealing going on today, you just have to be alert.

It turned out two car guys; we talked for about hour and a half. The guy that bought the wheels restores muscle cars on the side. He just likes cars like we do. I had my garage locked but then gave them the grand tour. Even though you can't see most of the cars a real car guy can see them. His best friend owns Pace Trailers from Indiana. We talked about Chip Foose, Boyd, and Unique Performance. My wife asked if everything went ok? She said you didn't tell them about your cars did you? I said no I showed them. Most of us car nuts are all the same, addicted I think we get high on cars. Great guys.
