128,000 miles!Well-played, young man.
- That is literally 256 times better than The Proclaimers' song "500 Miles."
- I didn't even know that was possible!

This makes me miss my old '93 Camry.
It was white. It was like driving a giant bar of soap.

Reminds me of my beige Ford Taurus, which I named Rod. Because I backed it into one on the test drive.

I shared this on Facebook and have got one, possibly two fights lined up. So this shit is basically magic.

My clunker is broken (again) and needs to be towed into the shop (again). All this is giving me a pretty dismal opinion of the 1990s, which I'm pretty sure was actually a fairly decent decate. Maybe I should give Nate a call.

J - I want to buy that car. No, I REALLY want to buy it.
E - I will fight you for that car
J - I'll fight you with coat hangers for that car.
E - If what the ad says is true (AND IT MUST BE TRUE) you will be needing those coat hangers.

A friend of mine summarizes the major trend in post-early-90s car design with the phrase "ass lozenge," which I'm now reminded of in a pretty graphic sense every time I see a Ford Taurus from the late 90s.

That's not how coat hangers work. Poking, maybe. Spanking, yes. Cutting? No.

I love that it's pages and pages of collage. I about died laughing at work. I am sorry to hear that his prospective buyers have no sense of humor.

No kidding davejay- loved the ad and hadn't read further yet, but man, that is good writing, it's nice to see something this smart go viral.
See, if I didn't have a phone to pretend to play with at concerts or on the subway, I might accidentally wind up talking to a person. And that's uncomfortable, sometimes downright terrifying. Things could go bad. I could meet someone terrible or crazy, I could wind up in a fight, I could die even (yes, I am that bad at meeting new people).posted by hap_hazard at 10:31 PM on March 27, 2013
