Funny Craigslist posting
Just had to share this: 1973 F100

Guess it was raining, so the seller couldn't be bothered to go outside to take the picture. Or raise the blinds, heheh. I've seen some pretty funny Craigslist postings lately.

like he could not have walked outside with a umbrella an took some close ups of it? Well at least he took a picture of it so you get a somewhat idea of what you are looking at.

....and THAT'S what's wrong with the education system in this country. That fool probably passed high school with a C average!

As far as the guy with red '73, at least he opened the blinds so you could see through them. He could've left them shut and took the picture!

Yeah, I worry about my generation and the current one.
At least I'll never have to specifically worry about myself.

The first ad is almost like some guy was watching tv and during a commercial break decided to put up a Craigslist ad for his truck. Probably got it done before his show came back on too.

Wow, both ads are incredibly bad; however, the ad for the '64 is down right embarrassing. Our education system is in shambles if people get through school writing like this. Come on, there's spell check on every computer now a days. There are different dialects of the English language depending on what part of the good 'ol USA you live in, but one doesn't have to write like you talk. Makes a person look more stupid than what one may be.

The 64 sure looks like a 66. Grille, fender emblems, and 300 engine.
