    Had to share this. I think there are two periods in the whole thing.

    http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/cto/994854510.html

    Hey wats up i got a G20 for sale the engine isnt working for me i know someone can get it back up and running. I really need it gone tho no less then 1500 for it i payed 3000 for it so its a big price reduction has alot of miles on it. Needs a new body has a dent in the back new head lights i also might sell the 2 12s orions i have in the trunk i put in blue leds in the car i might take them out but bose system came with car sounds amazing AC works great cold as ice heater works great to. i think the rims are 18's but they look great with the car. Sunroof leather interior driver seat is looking a lil ifie tho but still nice. Plz i need someone to get this i need a new car for my new born and in dier need of money!!!!!!!!! PS: in the Rim pic shows a nut missing i fixed all of them on all 4 tires also changed the CVs axiles

    So the engine isn't running and it needs a new body and he might take all the good stuff out of it.

    What exactly am I getting for my $1500?

    Add in random punctuation here: "AC works great. Cold-as-ice heater works great too." Good to hear the heater does nothing at all.

    Yeah...I was thinkig about retyping the whole thing with creative-license-punctuation for comical effect.

    I love any sort of arbitrary value placed on a car that is based on what was paid for it during some other situation (like when it was running!).

    Oh, yeah...I overpaid $3,000 for it...so half of that must be a good deal now...right?

    If he thinks those dinky little wheels are 18's I can only fathom what he thinks his "package" is...

    But I do think that there are some gems umungst the poor typing. If they can't type right, then they might not realise what it's worth, to our advantage.

    They need to hire this guy to write for the magazine. Especially if he promises to start every column with either "Hey wats up" or "We be driftin yo".

    I am just thinking of what I could do with my 914 for 30K.

    I nice six from a 911 runs about 10 to 12 thousand and I would still have enough left for Brembo brakes, steel flares, several sets of tires and wheels, a new trailer to haul it all

    Looks to me like that G20 could be a good start toward a challenge car.
