  2. "no BS, it was the Rolls Royce of uteruses when new!”

    Car guys, you have to go read his description of this truck! Priceless.
    I hope the guy who bought the truck prints it out and keeps it with the his new pride and joy!

  4. I hear that the sale of a slightly scratched 1987 Camry is imminent:

    “Those amongst you suffering a lengthy history of racially motivated road rage, delusional behaviour, a love of Fidel Castro and propensity to online nudity are likely to find this vehicle appealing.”

  5. It’s pretty smart that he welded American-style goal-posts to the front of that truck.

    Take that truck out into a vacant field, teach your 6-year old son how to kick NFL-style field goals, and guess what?  Twenty years later he’s making $1,000,000 a year playing for some NFL team.  What a sweet retirement policy.

  8. That is hysterical! I feel bad the guy only got $500. Forget the truck--his writing was worth more than that.

    Thanks for posting that, Tim. I’m still laughing.

  9. I’m laughing so hard I’ve got tears.  This guy might have found his calling as a writer.
