Default Gotta love Craigslist ads

http://columbia.craigslist.org/mcy/2509871861.html

1000cc sporty stroked to 98 CID (wtf thats 61 CID to 98 CID, more than a whole additional cylinder worth of displacement???)
$23,000 invested (must incl all gas, oil & beer used since new)
$9,000 value
$3000 price
Then the coupe de gras he finishes the ad with "Plz no BS offers"

funny stuff!

How about this one:

"No title, no keys"
I especially like the sellers request:
"NO SPAMMERS, OR SCAMS. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR BILLSHIT"

Not one to call anyone a liar without proof, but where ever the owner invested the $23,000, it certainly wasn't on paint, tins or soap and water!
