I have a 79 chevette that is in near perfect condition, all original, 60,xxx miles stays detailed inside and out, 3rd owner, ect. ect. I get a lot of compliments and people try to buy it every day. Before you stop reading this is not just a post to brag about my car. Today on a local car forum there was a thread titled 'MrDontPlay check this out' Inside there was a link to a craigslist ad. I thought it was funny.

May we see the link? The rest of us might find it funny too... unless I'm missing something else here.

Was it a wooden Chevette anniversary gift?

Wait until you get drunk enough to burn your car down in a Gainesville parking lot. THEN the forum guys will start sending you the good links.

a) assuming it was your car in the craigslist post, yes - take it as a compliment.

b) I get a lot of compliments and people try to buy it every day. So, name your price!

There is almost always a price.

"Dear Craigslist Guy: Thank you for your appreciation of my classic Chevette. I can't believe you found me through Craigslist!!

As you know, these cars were not appreciated when new and were beaten like rented mules and driven into the ground. As a result, nearly all have been crushed long ago. I believe mine to be one of the last remaining survivors. I think that, in a few years, these cars will see rapid appreciation, much like the classic Mini and original Beetle. I'm reluctantly considering parting with it for an offer over $20,000 or possible trade for a late model Corvette. Sincerely, mrdontplay."

I'm just sayin' ... there's usually a price.
