Default Another hilarious Craigslist ad for a "CTSV tribute"

Just thought I'd share the laugh I just had... http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/cto/4816356332.html

I couldn't help myself, so I sent this inquiry:
A few questions for you...
1) When did over 90,000 miles become accurately described as "low"??
2) Besides the (terribly done) front bumper, what is "cloned" from a V series on this piece of work??
3) How does a ~220 HP V6 with 90k on it become "almost 300 HP"??
Oh, and lastly, who did your exhaust work? That dual exhaust is sa-weeeeet! LOL
Hilarious ad man. Well done.

About every week or so, I do a search on craigslist for CTS-Vs in the Detroit area, and I saw this ad the other day.

It's a shame, but there are guys out there who'd love to have this wannabe.

You guys have to realize, this is in the middle of no where. Farm land and only small "towns" nearby. Guy's car is probably the best thing going anywhere around other than the neighbor's John Deere.

You beat me to it! I knew it would re-surface. He probably took it down and re-posted it because of all the hate mail he was getting from us a-holes. LOL The back-and-fourth we had was pretty funny. He defends this thing with some serious PASSION! And to be honest, as I told him, I'm not against someone having pride in their ride. I targeted him more because of the misleading statements he makes in his ad... "almost 300 horsepower", "V tribute", "low miles". Speaking of "low miles", this ad has increased the mileage pretty significantly, hasn't it? 99,500... wasn't the other ad 90,000? And wasn't he threatening that the price was going back up on Friday? What happened to that? lol

Actually, Port Huron's got a lot of pretty nice rides that I've seen bombin' around! There's actually a black V1 that looks totally stock but runs cam, heads, etc. Even OEM exhaust tips!

Seriously, to each their own, but I don't understand the cloning thing. I guess I can kinda understand when someone does a "clone" of a Yenko camaro. But usually that entails a ridiculous HP big block. This is like putting lipstick on a pig.
