    And tards on the net all the time say "quit pickin' on me, it's only the internet, not english class!!!"

    Not wanting to realize that the impression they leave is less than positive. Here's real life example. This car may be perfect, but who would know? He's lost a ton of buyers due to his ignorance.

    Watch out for cars with fear condition, they usually also suffer from separation anxiety.

    I guarantee that neither the car nor the owner has had all of his shots.

    I refuse to purchase a vehicle from anyones' ad that looks like that. Sure, one or two errors is acceptable, but something on that level, I really question the owners ability to maintain the vehicle to a level I'd consider appropriate. Plus, isn't spellcheck free these days?

    I dunno. One looks like it's gonna put the smackdown on the other!

    I've been looking for a hastpack for YEARS! Finally, I find one, but I'm not a serious bayer at all. Dammit!!!

    Barely related: The other day a friend went to check out a Volvo from craigslist. He's been looking for a newer 240 wagon with a manual trans and thought he'd found what he'd been looking for; when he got there, it was an auto, even though he specifically asked the seller before going to see it. As it turns out, the seller had no idea what a manual or automatic transmission was.

    Been there, done that. At least I didn't burn 40mi worth of gasoline for the privilege.

    Yeah, but they don't fail like the VW ones.
