I posted one of my cars for sale on CL and I just can't believe some of the emails I'm receiving from it. Thought I'd share one of the better ones with you.

Keep in mind, the ad clearly states CAR BEING SOLD COMPLETE, WILL NOT PART OUT

No. I'm not parting the car out. It is being sold complete with the motor intact. Check hondatech, clubintegra, or ebay for a crank.

If you get the crank then I want the block. ;D

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

You could just tell him to call for the crank and give him DP's number,.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

I thought the sarcastic "I'll sell you the crank and the block for $4,000 and I'll throw in the car ABSOLUTELY FREE!" remark was going to end that conversation. Man was I wrong  [bang]

In most instances, a sarcastic remark only entices more stupidity.

But thats what makes the world a little more tolerable.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
