Best of Best Of CL

Post by EliRush »

I love reading the Best Of CL, and this is car related. I just thought it was so funny and well done it deserved to be spread:

I saw a lot of those at Picknpull this morning. I wonder if he actually sold the car with this ad, appears there was nothing about the car itself that was worth putting in the ad. Perhaps there is actually nothing appealing enough about the age and condition of the car to get it sold. I wonder what was going through the mind of the guy that actually posted that ad, looks like an act of desperation. Perhaps he tried everything else to get it sold, and had to resort to this.

Probably...he's trying to sell a Grand Am with a blown head gasket! Why not go full out? That was the funniest ad I think I have ever seen on CL. OMG OMG lol

David, I totally agree and have a hate on for grand ams and that whole family of pontiacs (especially sunfires).

Here's one that should make you smile

It could be ok for an art car at BM. But other than that, it's hideous!

holy crap, that's one of the funniest, stupidest projects anyone could ever undertake. i'm assuming it's a joke. if so, it's amazing, but if not, it's very, very sad.

ron has moved on to more mountainous pastures (much closer to you, actually) so i thought a pic of my ghetto parts terc would be a nice contrast to all of ron's beauty pics.
