NON RUNNING! It totally melted down on my way home from work tonight. Weird electrical thing then engine stopped. Until then it ran awesome. The radio is missing from theft but I've driven it back and forth to work forever, plus to KC and back. Heater works great, good tires, etc. I'm just not in the mood to figure out what's wrong. I have the title. My loss is your gain. 573-lol-whoa."

above ad loosely translated:

"This 18 year old car ran GREAT until yesterday when it suffered catastrophic failure...and now I want a princely sum for you to haul this albatross from around my neck!

It's so good that it ran yesterday. It went everywhere. I'm really doing you a favor for letting you take it away for like DOUBLE the scrap value...maybe TRIPLE!"

There should be a built in CL filter for 'my loss is your gain' (and, obviously, all the misspelled permutations thereof), since that pretty much translates to 'I'm trying my best to screw you as hard and painfully as possible.'

You have 80% of the posts on this thread haha.
Anyway, I read your first post and started to think you area maroon because I couldn't make any sense of it. Then I clicked the link and realized you simply copied a totally unreadable add
Good find.

Not CL, Kijiji. But a goofy ad just the same. A Million dollar car, and he wants you to take over lease payments.... on a Gremlin?

Good point, I went back and edited to try to clarify a little. Beer-fueled posts...gotta love 'em.

LOL...well, yeah.

Just a note though...it's spelled Boonville (one of the few multisyllable words the seller got right...).
