It is all about the [message](http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/2979885438.html)…

(I have no connection to seller, hope this does not qualify as spam. If it does, please delete)

That totally fucking rocks! Made me Let’s go to the quarry and throw stuff down there as soon as the page loaded and then the other people backstage with me had to know what I was looking at!

I love great Craigslist ads like this! The quote from “every woman since the dawn of 1995” was my favorite part.

Damn, I wish my car’s paint job screamed “I’m a car”…
