I've looked through dozens and dozens of these ads and the cars never "run well," they "run good."

I'm no grammar Nazi or anything but goddamn it's annoying me.

The one that gets me is "needs _". For example, needs washed, needs replaced, and my personal favorite, needs restored. Apparently, the words "to be" don't exist on Craigs.

That doesn't make it correct. It's still terrible grammar.

Perhaps you ought to speak with a linguist about your inability to tolerate other dialects.

It isn't a dialect, it's slang. It's also really really stupid.

I don't think you know what those words mean. Perhaps you and Hypnolobster should contact Craigslist with your proposal that all free classifieds use the King's English on pain of flagging.

If your going to condescend to people about the usage of words at least use the right words. It's flogging, not flagging.

I think he means flagging, as in flagging CL posts.

I see you're correct, but phrasing it "on pain of flagging" is a pretty pretentious, and lovely, way of phrasing it.

1975 BMW 2002 BABE Rally Veteran. Perfect Burning Man Car! - $1000 (Stony Brook)






For Sale is a 1975 BMW 2002. This vehicle was a competitor in BABE Rally 2008. In the past week it has been driven from New York to New Orleans and back in the BABE Rally competition. It easily made it there and back.
As you can see the vehicle is decorated as a space shuttle. It includes the LED number lights, port and starboard marker lights, tail fin, tail fin strobe light, and thruster lights. It does not include the Hella fog lights and sheepskin seat covers that are seen in some pictures.
The odometer reads 34361 miles however it is my opinion that as it has 5 digits it has at least 100,000 more. There is rust on the car. The floorboards and spare tire well have been patched. The rear shock towers have been welded. The car runs and drives, it has proven that by the 3500 miles it has driven in the past week. The clutch needs to be adjusted and there is a vacuum leak that needs to be diagnosed as well. A few hours in competent hands should have it running perfectly. The engine is a gem and should provide years of service.
The car comes equipped with a weber carburetor. It has recently been tuned. I have also installed a new starter, set of points, condenser, spark plugs, battery, ignition points, coil pack, fan belt, distributor cap, fuel lines, and fuel tank. The car has a current NY State inspection sticker.
This car is perfect for anyone looking for a burning man vehicle or for a unique one off BMW 2002. You can show up and drive the car away, it starts right up. As you can see the car is currently personalized for my rally team. I will gladly personalize if for the new owner. I have a clear title in hand for the car. It comes with a couple of spare steel wheels and tires, receipts from the previous owner, various spare parts and trim, and an extra seat from a 320i as the original drivers seat needs to be reupholstered.
The car can be viewed by exit 62 off of the Long Island Expressway by appointment. Please email or call 631-241-1565. I can only show the car on weekends.
The vehicle is sold as is. I will sell worldwide. Shipping is up to the buyer. I will be glad to make the vehicle available for a shipper to pick it up after payment has been received.

The Beemer Story

Originally The Beemer came from Atlanta, Georgia (imported new from Germany in 1983) The Beemer was brought to Winnipeg, Canada in 1995. It just so happened that I was visiting Winnipeg at the time. My childhood friend, Terry was selling The Beemer. I needed a car so I ended up test-driving The Beemer for the week I was there.

Then I met up with my very first serious girlfriend on a fluke at the bar. I had previously went out with her when I was 18 years old (I'm 46 now, 34 then). I ended up taking her out for supper the next day so I picked her up in The Beemer (which I was still test-driving). Anyway, we caught up on old times when the topic of sex came up. You see, when we were dating at 18, we never actually gone all the way (came close many times but never all the way). Anyway, to make a long story short, we ended up doing the dirty deed in the back seat of The Beemer that night (something we both agreed had to be done).
When I returned The Beemer to Terry, I bought it from him and ended up driving The Beemer back to Vancouver. I just had to buy it. (Needless to say, that has been the only screwing around in the back seat since)

Pros:
- The Beemer is a guy's car. It's bullet proof. Will start all the time, the engine is solid.
- Timing Belt, brakes, front struts, front end all fixed in August 2005.
- The Beemer does not like women driving her. (trust me)
- The Beemer actually gets pretty good gas mileage. On the way to Vancouver on June 1, I went from Calgary past Revelstoke (283 miles) on 30L. (Fill up was $41.01 @ 1.34.99L). That's 42MPG (US mile and Cdn Gal)* or 15KM per L
- Power sunroof, windows.
- Still drives ok.
Cons:
- Needs exhaust system. (Exhaust system went on this last drive CGY->VAN)
- The Beemer has 236K miles
- The Beemer moved to Calgary in 2000 and has been there ever since. (Registered in AB.)
- Windshield is cracked
- Inside heater blower (easily accessible on engine firewall) needs to be replaced.
- The Beemer's body is showing it's age. Not bad for an old gal though.
- BMW logo stolen (numerous times)

Anyway, it is what it is. The Beemer is over 25 years old. I'm only the 3rd owner. Use it for parts, fix it up, knock yourself out.

Please have a drive by first. Then email me ur offer (include ur phone number) ... Contest closes June 18. Test drives upon request.

Hoped you liked The Beemer story. Email ur feedback if you want to (or not)

*US mile = Cdn mile

"Beemer" is for BMW Motorcycles, "Bimmer" is for BMW cars.
