http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/1787722295.html (http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/1787722295.html) its a nice car from its looks. but Damn lol hes gotta be dyslexic to try and sell it for that much. dont get me wrong i think it would be great if our cars were worth that much, but then again wouldn't that make the parts go through the roof too?

I missed the ad itself - tell me, he didn't actually use the picture off my website, did he?  Moron.  Rest assured, the car was totaled in the late '80s.
