I'd want to know if it has a Mr. Fusion or not. I can't tell in the pictures.

The two pics show two different cars. The striping on the side is different and one has a "grooved" hood while the other one is flat. How dumb to these limpdicks think everyone else is?

...I don't actually want an answer to that.

So tell me how this scam works again.

I got the whole "I'm the King of Nigeria and will give you money for holding my fortune" thing, I've seen the "Down payment but I need to drive it for a week", how's this one work?

Ask about it and suddenly there is a story. I'm here and the car is there..... Put the money in Ebay escrow (no such thing) and I will ship it to you, etc.

Are those Nigerian license plates in the background?

Attention C-list User,

We have recently joined up with Apple for a one-time promotional event today, we are giving away no cost Apple iPads to randomly selected people who have submitted an ad on Cl. You have been picked as one of our latest winners for today. We randomly select numbers to match up with ads on Cl and your advertisement matched with our latest drawing.

We have partnered up with Apple to advertise their hottest product yet, the Apple iPad. Once yet again, we are operating this promotion for one-day only. All you need to do is CLICK HERE to check out our website made for this promotion and enter your email to obtain yours for free.

Congratulations on winning a free Apple iPad (valued at $800). If you have any question or concerns, feel free to email me back.
