    He only wants about $3500 to $4500 more for the car than it's worth... Meth kills brain cells.

    $3k for a 92 Volvo 240 Station Wagon with 220k miles? Whatever this person is smoking should be sold on the streets...

    Sadly that's the going price for a 240 wagon. For some strange reason I've always liked those vehicles, but gave up looking when I couldn't find one for a sensible price. Got an 850 T5 wagon instead for less money - it has twice the HP, not to mention creature comsorts, safety etc. But then I sold it when I realized it was boring as hell.

    Ok, I've heard of some areas where Miata pricing has gotten obscene... but, this is Florida.

    This vw single cab is great. You get some mad crazy customization for only twice what a nice stock one would go for.

    Yes, we are a little strange in Florida. Hey, just look where the mag is published? See, I told you so.

    34.5MPG LS400.

    Funny. I never got over 29MPG in mine on the highway @ 60MPH.

    "His sister is having a baby and she needs a depenable car that runs good and gets good mpg."

    Um. Didn't he just say... Wait, this isn't dependable? Gets good gas mileage? I thought 34.4 was good, but this gets 34.5! Or does it? Is he lying?

    1994 FROD TAURAUS - $800 (sp?)

    I will say that "Tauraus" is immensely more fun to say than the actual name of the car. I've been repeating it to myself for several minutes now and I am still vaguely amused.

    I would also guess that "Frod" is quite likely a fitting descriptor given the execution of this ad.
