The best I can figure out is, "I'm a moron who can't spell, and I think my donk-mobile is fast." I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

People who really type like that don't use any proper punctuation like exclamations, question marks, apostrophes, and definitely don't know to capitalize the first word in every sentence, much less be able to write in complete sentences.

I went to KaZoo area schools. Yeah, that's about right.

I've seen that photo before. The person who wrote the ad pulled it off the net, and they think they're being very clever.
Translation?
I want to sound real cool, like I live in the 'hood.
As others have said, folks who spell that badly, then do "okay" on punctuation, then close with comments about how they won't accept a certain TYPE of offer....well, they are 1.) too clever by half and 2.) definite scam artists.
When I see a vintage car (except for maybe 4 door sedans) jacked up and "donked?" I cry just a little inside.
