Default Something is screwy here...

Check it out..

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/car/138536737.html

Someone in Phoenix is trying to sell my cars! The fucktard obviously can't tell the difference between a Trans Am and a Formula, either... and he was stupid enough to post a picture of my car WITH ME IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT!

What a retard.

Ya gotta dig the WS6 in one pic and the Formie in another......I am guessing the interior shot is from the Formie since isn't the WS6 leather?

Did you report this idiot?

Oh yeah, I reported him and I emailed the guy, too.

I just think that it's hilarious he used pics of two different cars, and one had me in the driver's seat. What an idiot.

LOL.. I wish.

The guy claims that his "friend" who is "a certified mechanic" gave him the pics saying it belonged to "a friend of his". This guy sounds like a complete retard in the email, too.

IF it is a scam, more then likely he will try to get them to pay first, sight-unseen and then bail with the $$.

I have called people on autotrader and some of the deals were too good to be true. What they do, is ask for a deposit and bail with it. There are also many overseas scams...

How lame is that? I can only imagine it is a scam or they would not be posting pictures of different cars. The sad part is that the moron probably does not even know it is two different cars.
