Just noticed this gem.

http://kelowna.en.craigslist.ca/cto/833503995.html

Not only is it a Chevy Sprint in Automatic, but it's a TUNER.

It has:

quote:

*Oversized huge spoiler!
It's not only oversized, it's hugely oversized!

*Red ground effect lights with green interior light,
NEONS

*Type s racing seat covers
I actually read this as Type S racing seats, and then was hugely dissapointed upon finishing the sentence. Not that I know what Type S stands for.

*Chrome muffler tip!
YEAH!

*Racing pedals with LEDS.
Oh thank god, without those LED's I might forget where the pedals are

"This car is just in need of some back tires (25 dollers each at wallmart)"
I wonder just what kind of tires you get for $25 each..

"Keep in mind you will be saving more money than a smart car, and turning more heads than a Porche."
And you'll look like a douche, too!

This is just so terrible it's worth posting.

Performance cars with flat black hoods (and trunklids, but that's not applicable in the case presented here . . .) has been a thing since the '60s. Supposed to reduce glare or some poo poo, but in reality it's because it looked cool in 1969.

I will never understand what possesses some people to paint things like this.

I own a drz400sm and it is fun and you can make it go faster if you throw money at it. That said, the MSRP for a DRZ400SM in 2007 was $6,199. Furthermore, for his "9k invested" he could have bought the hottest euro sumo brand new (maybe even import a TM or vertimati), bought two used sumos that would run circles around his drz or converted an MX bike and purchased enough race gas to last him for a year.

Chances are he is selling it because he just got a clue and is intending to follow through on one of the above options and is hoping that someone will buy his mistake.

On the GrafX, yes they can be peeled off, but why buy a bike you have to fix when the seller thinks that the stickers are a feature.

As to the idiot that emailed me saying his 500hp Honda will kick my A**.. do you mean like in a real race that proves your cars worth, like hitting tight constant sharp corners at extreme speed. If so your cute little commuter bodied, feminized FWD will be on its roof at the first turn. I know you REALLY want to beleive that you and your car are some how really cool with fiberglass everywhere and a loud muffler stuck to it.. its not.. it's gay.. sorry. And everyone knows it, accept juveniles stuck in a weed induced haze of denial.. drawing their checks from a call center. Why do you think F1 cars are all RWD.. so their not on their roofs.

To the rest of the breathing world..

A simple online check will show you the 3 series BMW has been and is still the BEST handling car in the world in its class for over 20 years.

That screams LSx swap. Seriously, put one of the most reliable drivetrains ever into one of the nicest cars, the interior looks very nice and the car too, so just put in a drivetrain that doesn't require assloads of maintenance and expensive parts and win/win. For shits and giggles add one of those supercharging or turboing kits that pumps the 5.3 up to like 500 hp, use a 6 speed manual and just go surprise the gently caress out of some Vettes at the local track.

I had never heard of these, before, but apparently the company that makes them is still making them. Be awesome if it was street legal. (Probably wouldn't be as practical on the street as a scooter, but you wouldn't need to truck it anywhere)

Also, the guy is asking about 700 bucks less than a new one. Still, thought I'd point out the awesomeness.
