I thought we were just making fun of the fact that someone owns an automatic corvette.

Seems more embarrassing than misspelling "corvette" to me

I guess I'm baffled because of all the spell checkers that are available ????? Like on this site a misspelled word lights up red and you right click and it gives you the correct spelling ??? is it a pride thing also ???? or an embarrassment ????

Now it is more of a personal/dating/sex site, with miscellaneous random items for sale.

Def not the same here. I literally come to work everyday and the first thing I do is Check craigslist. I check it at least twice a day.

Ive bought about 4 sets Of OEM C5z wheels Off CL. The set on my car now has 30k miles on them are mint and I paid a whopping $325 picked up for them with basically brand new Goodyear F1's on them! Craiglist is VERY relevant here. Especially in the south where people hold onto things forever and then sell them for cheap.

Ive made enough money off craigslist buying and selling cars to not work for 2 years. I love craigslist.

Same here. It's a great place to find parts.

He is probably just mad because he keeps blowing the cheap trannies he finds on there.

If you're a cyclist who's serious about upgrading your equipment with bargain priced used equipment, then CL is something you check out regularly. Found many good bargains on CL. I sold my C5 OEM painted wheels on CL.

As was said, while that ad is crude, it's far from the worst. At least you can tell what the dude is selling. I've actually seen an ad with no pics that stated "For Sale, Bike, BLue color, make offer".

Yep it used to be the same here, craigslist was my favourite site as well, then kijiji started creeping in and eventually took away all the users from craigs list it seems.

Its too bad cause I used to like it as well
