$2000 Monster Miata...sorta

Seems like that guy has some problems seeing out the driver side window.

Inre: the writing; when I see something like that, I always wonder how a person can put that into writing and think "yes, this is clearly written and covers everything in enough detail to let the reader know what is on my mind".

Looking for cheap cars on Craigslist is a great way to find writing that does not, actually, make me think the person that wrote it knows to try and accomplish the above.

I'll try to clean it up:

"1985 mustang 5.0. It runs rough(?). Needs a clutch cable(?) and an oxygen sensor. You can hear it run. It has been wrecked by loss of control. I recently replaced the fuel pump, throttle sensor, alternator, rear end, brakes, seats, back lights, head gaskets, water pump gasket, and changed the oil. Want 2000$ for both. The Mazda just hit a wall but still runs good. It just need clutch plate(?). I have the new one no time to put it in thought but will sell seperate. I will take trades make offer 817 333 4353 text or call moo moo"

Moo moo? Here's your sign!

The Miata's tweaked badly enough that the top won't latch and the passenger side door strike opened up by about half an inch?

PASS.

I'll translate his (I'm assuming it's a guy) ad:

I have two parts cars that I'm hoping someone is dumb enough to think they can make one good car out of.

Damn... wish the Miata were closer... looks like a perfect locost donor.

I wanna see moo moo run that clutch cable through the O2 sensor. I'm tempted to call, just to talk to someone called moo moo.

Despite the horrible language, all I can think about is that an '85 Mustang would have a carburetor and not efi.

Close, but I think "it run hard" means it's fast. I'm not sure; I'm only halfway fluent in illiterate.
