I TRADED My Rolls Royce For A Humvee and Skidsteer... Why?

What happens here

The video's owner recounts his experience with the flood-damaged Rolls Royce Phantom, which he purchased five years prior. Initially intending to use it for drag racing, his priorities shifted. He decided to list the Rolls Royce on Facebook Marketplace. After sifting through numerous "stupid messages", he received an offer from Dwight to trade for two street-legal Humvees. The owner considered trading one Humvee for a skid steer, which Dwight also happened to possess. After several months of negotiation to align schedules, the trade for one military Humvee and one John Deere Skid Steer was finalized.

Goal: Secure a trade agreement for the Rolls Royce Phantom.

home." >> 5 years ago, I bought this flooded Rolls-Royce Phantom. And shortly after that, everything changed. My original intention with this was to make it similar to what my Escalade was and use it for drag racing. You know, things change, we grow. We no longer do that. One day I was just I was feeling a little saucy and I was like, you know what? I'm just going to put this thing on Facebook Marketplace for what I have in it and see what happens.

Even though I'm like, "No." But you know, I always got an open mind. He said, "I have two street legal Humvees." Sent me pictures and they looked really nice. And I thought, well, I don't even need one street legal Humvey, let alone two, but maybe it would be easier to sell one of these for a skid steer and I could have some fun with the other one for a little bit and then sell or trade that and at least it would be something that isn't this. I told him that. I said, "Well, I don't really need two Humvees. I don't even need one. I'd probably sell one for a skid steer, but maybe if the values work out correctly, I might want to do it." And he said, "Oh, I have a skid steer. We could do that instead. My god, are you serious? That is just way too convenient. And this was like 4 months ago. It took a long time for this to all uh facilitate just for both of our schedules and all that. But long story short, I am trading this Rolls-Royce Phantom for a skid steer and a military Humvey. God, I feel like such a such a
