I'm starting a new topic called "Bad Spelling" for those who list their cars but just can't get the letters in the correct order.

Example #1-

I'm always amazed at people who don't bother to spell check, punctuate, or use capitals in their ads. Maybe some people aren't put off by it but I'm reluctant to buy anything from someone who is so careless. If they can't bother to write a decent ad, they probably don't bother to do a lot of other things too.

Ok ... So Wednesday is my day off and I can't help but flip through Craigslist and
look for stuff I don't need... Here's a few ads that are quite hilarious:

This guy with a 71 Olds must be close to a nuclear power plant

At first glance, this price looks way high for the car he is selling, until you
find out that it is EXTREMELY rare:

The only Oldsmobile Riviera ever produced!!

Wow!

I think some of these guys do it on purpose. So when people come look at the cars they think the seller is a rube.

In case you don't want to open it, it goes something like this:

Wanting to trade for a car or a 4x4 I have a 1995 gmc jimmy that had a v6 stock, now has a 350 v8 in her, it's a very fun car to drive, it has a elderblock intake and a holly performance carb. Also has head man headers and after market duel exhaust , has crager rims and descent tires ,smaller profile Kelly surperchargers on front and good year gt4 on the back , it's very good on gas for a v8 , and also has a jvc radio ,rpm gage and sun pro oil psi,volts ,and temp. , like I said it's very fun to drive

Descent tires - good for driving downhill
Duel exhaust - better in a head to head battle
head man headers - I've got nothing here...

This dude needs to read the label... pretty much the same
as when "the answer is right on the board" in school... C'mon man!!!

And, if the Aliens find out this dude is selling their tractor, they will
not be happy!

Working for a Cub dealer and MTD for a long time, I can't tell you how many people own Club Cadets. I was never allowed to join the Club.
