Default Humorous ad for a C5....

Not sure if it's as funny as the infamous plastic supercar ad but this is pretty dang close: https://dothan.craigslist.org/cto/6195029383.html

That sounds like you have never been in Dothan Alabama. I, very unfortunately, go through quite often. More idiots per capita on the road than any other city -- including Tijuana, Chicago, Los Angeles, Orlando, London -- you get the idea. He's simply completely aware of his target audience...

The guy has a good sense of humor and the ad is funny. Wonder how long it will take for him to sell it?

$14,900 for an 02 Z06 with 92,000 miles don't seem bad unless it has some major issues somewhere.

That's a lot of car for the money. Somebody is getting a neat toy.

We have a sister company down there and I spent a couple weeks there for management training years ago. Although I wouldn't describe it quite like this, it was definitely a different world from what I am used to. The food was unbelievably good and everybody kept talking about bald peanuts. I said what in the world are bald peanuts??? Finally I had someone spell it for me and I realized they were boiled peanuts. Love those southern accents!
