Hilarious!

Horrible pics though, that's laughable for a high zoot bike.

and some of the worst photos ever.

He couldn't even do a BAAW photo? geez.

Eh, it's pretty much stolen from a Craigslist car ad. I forget what the original car was, but the rest of the copy is ... a copy.

Ebay, the kind of place where satire has no buy it now option.

Hey at least shipping is only $19.95. Ad is ridiculous to say the least.

I assume anyone who might be in the market for this knows what it is and will find the text humorous.

Because I'm mildly obsessive, here's a reference to the original CL ad, for a Dodge Viper:

Well, the guy plagiarized. Still think the original ad is damn clever. You should monetize your obsessive researching skills :)
