Yeah, that's a good one. I also enjoy reading posts that offer metal to scrapers. Hmm, aren't they scrappers? Ads for saw saws seem to be pretty common.

I posted a thread about the Big Ass toolbox yesterday!

If was being sold in 'the hood' it would be a Big Azz toolbox!

My favorite one is Camero

What I find interesting is that they give you three chances to review if before it is posted and they still leave misspellings in the ad. READ what you wrote for crying out loud.

ezover · 11-15-2009, 04:00 AM

would never think of posting anything with out spell check.
know your limits i say lol.

Snappy · 11-15-2009, 04:00 AM

Needs restored....

or...

"bored .030, Crane cam, 12 to 1 pistons, Crower rods, Edelbrock heads, yada, yada, ALL ORIGINAL!"

Oh, this gets to one of my pet peeves on Craigslist.

It's VISE! V-I-S-E! There is no C in 'vise'! You may be selling your vise to fund a vice, which would be a sad bit of irony, but one hopes that you are not selling vice.

6t7gto · 11-17-2009, 04:39 PM

For sale
Mint but needs work

ironroad 9c1 · 11-17-2009, 04:55 PM

You think craigslist is bad, we have a trading post that comes out weekly, man after reading that your head wants to explode.

dmw56 · 11-17-2009, 04:58 PM

I hate the 3 R's

"Ran when parked"
"Ready for restoration"
"Rare"

Man that took some sounding out the words to get what it said. I guess I don't speak very good "Hilbilly".

That's funny. It reminds me of the commercial when the guy says, "You mean we DON'T get "French" benefits?"

Maybe they were selling vice to fund a new vise.
