This has got to be a joke. LOL!!! Check out the full description:

I wanna get this straight right now, everything works like a good used car. All parts (including transmission, front suspension and front wheel drive boots) are working very good. The fuel injectors have never stuck open and leaked into the intake manifold causing the car not to start. That was looked into but it never happened. My uncle had his truck parked in front of mine and it was leaking. Not my car. I always wait until the car is fully stopped before I put the car into another gear. The tires don't go flat a lot and the air pressure is changed about once a week. All of the lights on the inside are very bright, sometimes too bright but you can dim them. The trunk opens and closes good. I haven't really seen all of underneath the car but i can try to get some pictures so you can see how dirty or clean it is. This car has never been fully airborne or raced off road. The right rear may have come off but only by about 6 inches or so. There are some indentations in the floor mat from the gas pedal but that is the way it goes. Also, the back seat is small and clean. The car is a Japanese car that was built in Japan but driven in US. This car was mainly driven to/from work and my house. So most of the miles are highway and back roads. The car has always been driveway kept. No large objects, such as animals or stop signs, were ever hit. I have email now so you can email me. Please remember that EVERYTHING WORKS GOOD. If there are any problems with the brake hoses or anything like that, they are fine now, so it will be your responsibility. Unless it falls under the comprehensive 60 mile warranty.

I usually pass right over any eBay posts on this board, but I've got to admit this is a near classic.

Did anyone else click on the video??

"No large objects, such as animals or stop signs, were ever hit. "

Well, thats a relief. I have made it a personal rule to never bid on a car that has hit a Llama.

This is by far the funniest e-bay ad I've seen. This guy is a hoot! Who writes his stuff?

Of course this car has the potential to beat a Viper or a 'vette. They all do, all that you need to do is buy the NASCAR V8 and make it fit -- and work. If you do that it will beat any Viper or 'Vette (except those with NASCAR motors in them). That is when you really need serious medicine like a NASCAR V8 with Nitrous and a turbo!

I'm happy that he was honest about telling me that the car has never been in the air or off-road, and that the injectors have never been stuck open, and that he only shifts from a full stop . I never would of thought of those things if he hadn't brought them up. Now why did he bring them up???

It sounds like Yogy Berra wrote this add. You know how Yogi is always saying stuff like "nobody goes there any more because it's too crowded" or "90% or this game is half mental."

This guy is saying the same kinds of things:

"I always wait until the car is fully stopped before I put the car into another gear. "

"The car is a Japanese car that was built in Japan but driven in US"

"The fuel injectors have never stuck open and leaked into the intake manifold causing the car not to start. That was looked into, but it never happened."

Maybe they're related.

Highlight the text of the ad and see what he wrote in white.

I think he's a very clever fellow who's having a little fun.

This has to be the funniest thing I have ever read. I have literally been rolling on the floor laughing. It is not too often I laugh out loud in my office - but I couldn't contain myself.

This even tops the kid who put Armor-All on the treads of his Lexus.

I can't stop laughing. This is not a non-sequitor - what would you call it? incongrouos? Are there no small animals?

TOO FUNNY

HAHAHA - look at the video

If you look at the video he posted, it looks like some kind of high school basketball game....you have to watch the video 4-5 time to see what happens in the last 1/2 second.....the ball gets tossed cross court, only to be head butted by a kid running down the back (or was he accidentally hit?)......very funny!

I didn't see the video link at first. Man is that hillarious!!!

Here's my favorite quote:
Quote:
Also, the stereo system is amazing(really loud and good) there is an MP3 player in it, it plays MP3 songs from the kazaa. That is not included. But you will get the cd player from Toyota
The reserve is likely not to high, but it's probably more than most people can afford...uh oh, now I'm doing it!

This is beautiful! I am just cracking up!!!!!

This car has never been fully airborne or raced off road. The right rear may have come off but only by about 6 inches or so.

I haven't really seen all of underneath the car but i can try to get some pictures so you can see how dirty or clean it is

Priceless!
