Scored a Yellow 18 today
« on: October 12, 2015, 02:55:52 PM »
Not a whole lot of back story on this one. Saw this advertised locally on Friday and the ad had been up for 10 days, so I didn't contact the seller. This morning I thought, can't hurt, so I gave him a call. The sellers son answered, said his Dad would be home in a half an hour and I was off. I got to the house, handed the guy a 20 spot and I was off.

I think the seller does foreclosure clean outs or something as he had a huge truck loaded with junk with a back yard to match. Didn't speak a lick of English.

Structurally, it's in awesome shape. Gotta love AZ. Cosmetic is average I guess - plenty of battle scars (I'm showing off the best side  :D).

My 7 year old asked if it was his when we picked it up, so now I have someone else to blame when my wife gets home and sees another grill. I could probably get away with her not noticing a black one, but not this one.

Wow, that's a great looking yellow… and a hell of a price!  Congratulations! Would love to find a yellow 18 (or lime, or avocado, or…)

Thanks everyone. I fired it up tonight for a skirt steak. That's the first time I've seen a fade in person. Pretty cool.
