    “Jerk.”

    Thanks for the post, Mike!

  • YSaC, Vol. 1776: Cool, Cool… um?

    In honor of post number 1776, let’s pay tribute to America with this gem, which has nothing whatsoever to do with the Declaration of Independence in any way.

    Yep. Happy Fourth of July, everyone!

    Jeep grand Cherokee 200,000 miles runs good .4×4..believe it may need a trans? Really Clean in side and out good tires remote start ….really looking to trade for something cool thanks….really want a project car or truck

    This one was sent in by sd, who points out that if the only picture you have of your vehicle is one where it’s strapped to a trailer AND you think it needs a transmission…

    You may not need to go to Craigslist to find a “project car.”

    Thanks, sd!

  • YSaC, Vol. 1749: Turns out $200 is your price for flight.

    Yesterday’s poster was selling all sorts of wacky stuff. Today’s poster? Not so much:

    Motor – $200

    condition: like new
    Robin

    Well, $200 is a pretty good deal. And there’s really only two types of motors, right?

    It could only be either this:

    or this:

    And either one of those seems like a steal for $200. Of course, my grasp of engineering may be a little fuzzy, but it’s still better than Robin’s grasp of Craigslist.

    Thanks for the link, sd!

  • YSaC, Vol. 1741: The Fast and the Spurious

    1998 Honda Civic Es Special eSport Editions – $1000

    1998 Honda Racing Civic fuel : gastransmission : manual title status : clean
    The car es in goo conditionss
    Its fast and furios looking
    Much JDM
    The car has proffesionals stickers
    And racing wings
    17 inche rines
    Cold air intakes

    The car is 5 speeds with R makes its 6 speeds
    It has the single cams no vtec much powers full

    When I was growing up, we had a 1979 Chevrolet Chevette hatchback. With black plastic upholstery. When it got hot out, it would melt anything you put near it in seconds. I wonder if that’s what this ad means by “goo conditionss?” Probably not, though, since it has cold air intakes. Then again, those probably wouldn’t work in summer when there’s no cold air.

    Also, I don’t think you’re normally allowed to count “reverse” towards the total number of speeds. Although the other possibility, that the car doesn’t go in reverse, but has a pirate gear, is intriguing.

    Thanks for the ad, MC – you’re 2 for 2!
