    It has exhaust. I hate it when cars don't have exhaust.

    Sort of reminds me of those ads car dealers sometimes post that list as "features"

    4 cylinder engine, cloth covered seats, 4 wheel brakes, seatbelts and shoulder harnesses, pollution control hardware,.......in other words, stuff it HAS to have before it leaves the factory

    That's pretty strange. I don't thing I have ever seen someone write in title case before!

    Oh Really? I See It Occasionally On Craig's, And It Always Weirds Me Out. It Takes So Much Extra Time To Write Like That, I Can't Imagine Why Anyone Would Bother.

    Funny how a Neon has every little thing explain, yet a E30, Miata, or other exceptionally cool car for a good deal has no information about it.

    Melinda Hope should really give some craigslist ad writing lessons to the masses of people who think:

    "1980 BMW, lowered, doesn't run, looks sporty"

    ...is all that you needed to sell a car.

    It was probably written in ALL CAPS. Most message board software automatically parses ALL CAPS down to Title Case, if there are zero lowercase letters in the original post.
