Golden

Got a teenager that needs a car? It's perfect. It has no backseat at all, which is the biggest peace of mind you could ever want. It's a tiny stick-shift car without power steering, so texting while driving is impossible. Thanks to the aforementioned gas mileage, they won't be hitting you up for gas money constantly. It shares the powertrain with most 1980's and 1990's FWD Corollas, which means that Lebron James will develop humility and graciousness before anything expensive breaks (barring any act of stupidity). An added bonus is that if something ever does break, it'll probably cost less than a bag of Funyuns and be in stock at your local parts store. Even if they do drive it like a retard on the street, a couple tickets a year is cheaper and less risky than drinking underage, developing a drug addiction, skateboarding, blowing up stuff on youtube, video games, or starting some terrible metal band that sounds like the other 4,702 terrible metal bands in this city. Which are all things that a teenager might be doing out of boredom if you give them grandma's Cutlass Ciera instead of this car.

Brilliant ad. I'd buy it just to talk to the man behind this literary piece of art, were it not in frickin' Cleveland.

One of the best CL ads ever. The seller should (does?) write ads for a living.

If they weren't so ugly, it'd be a tempting fly in and drive out deal.

blasphemy!!! remember how when you were 6 and your dad would let you taste a sip of beer, you thought he was a friggin moron because he had the choice between a tall frosty glass of tasty fruit juice or beer, and he chose beer on purpose? Now that your older and have more appreciation for the finer things in life, which one do you choose?...yeah, an unmolested, rust free 1988 MR2 is as sexy as delicious beer is delicious. People who think beer is not delicious are either 6 years old or dumb, and via that logic, should also think 80s toyotas are gorgeous. How old are you?

IThey have always reminded me of a door stop on wheels, and, bunky, I'm 52. And there's more to life than settling for beer--regardless of how good it is.

No harm, no foul. Tasted beer at 6 yeard old with my grandfather holding the can. Went back in the house, puked, and still remember Mom and Grandpa's argument...
