Car Ads

Car Ads -- If the ad claims... It really means:
rough condition... too bad to lie about
parts car... beyond repair
immaculate... recently washed
engine quiet... if you use 90-weight oil
needs minor overhaul... needs engine
needs major overhaul... Phone the junkyard
burns no oil... (it all leaks out)
Drive it away... I live on a hill.
Drive it anywhere... (within 10 miles)
desirable classic... No one wants it.
rare classic... No one wanted it even when it was new.
stored 20 years... (in a farmer's field)
ran when stored... Won't start.
