NMNA: Danger Ranger (of awesomeness)

I admire his commitment to the truth.

LOL

great name, lousy truck.

Why would someone who is trying to sell a vehicle say this??

Seller said: I've jumped this truck 40+ feet across a creek, slammed into trees, drifted countless dirt roads, and have roasted countless tires. It's been the ultimate ride.

Does the fact that he has put it through that level of abuse somehow add to the desirability or increase the value??

Uhh, did you look at the pictures? I think you're confused as to what type of vehicle he's selling.

I hate when someone calls Interco Super Swampers "Boggers".

For that reason, I will not be buying this truck.

Seller said: I'm not a redneck, please don't offer me an hour alone with your finest sheep.

Wait, he is in Oregon, did all this with a pickup truck, and theres a picture of the truck flying the confederate flag, yet somehow he isn't a redneck?

I'll believe that when me E36 M3 turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert.

Thanks for today's show material.

Including a picture of the vehicle for sale AIRBORNE takes a truly epic level of chutzpah. Well done.

Specifically, he's from Southern Oregon (Eugene) where rednecks and UO MBA douche bags come from (sorry I've not found a UO fan that isn't some sort of over the top Type-A jerkwad that doesn't make me want to punt them over the goal posts that their Nike sugar-daddy bought them.

Hey now. Eugene is in the center of the state. Don't lump us in with those actual redneck southerners in Creswell, Cottage Grove Roseburg and lower.

Eugene is full of hippies, Not rednecks.

That might be one of the best Craigslist ads I've ever read! I would show up with a gallon of gas just so he'd take me for a ride in that thing! I can see no better use for a crappy old Ranger than to ramp it and do burnouts. Maybe someone can trade a 6 pack for it?

I thought this was going to be a Kevin Smith/Viewaskiewniverse reference.

Someone needs to bring this guy two gallons of gas and a GoPro running as soon as you show up to the house to look at the DANGER RANGER! Post that E36 M3 up after a little editing. I will send someone a good six pack of beer if they do this. All the way from Wisconsin.

In reply to RossD:

So you'll be sending Miller?......I don't think anyone would do that for a sixer of Miller.

Actually I was thinking about the Leinies Big Eddy series of beers and I just realized they are 4 packs. So probably just one of the good micro brews from one of the local places. The offer still stands for any established GRMer.

Marketing genius at work. He humorously highlights the flaws in the truck and portrays them as features. Best Craigslist ad I've seen for a while.

Q: What's it worth?

A: What's it weigh?

It is odd how the school of MBA douche bags and big money is surrounded by hippies. Almost as if it were a containment measure, or they are living off of the throw aways from the trust-fund babies ;)
