"Da bar on da motor", and lots of other bars apparently give you lots of control. How can people like this exist?

Wow...I really don't know what else to say...

I did not know "Da" was a word.

I doubt this person understands the concept of a double negative.:rolleyes:

I don't think they fully understand english either...

It's people like this and shows on MTV that are making new jersey look bad :p

Maybe all the SVX owners over there should move out to the west coast so we can have big ol' meets over here :rolleyes:

I am continually disappointed by how stupid people are.

Hello sir,

A friend suggested that I look at your advertisement. Upon viewing it I saw that there were a few minor grammatical errors which could lead to confusion on the part of potential buyers. Understandably these were not intentional, I can appreciate that you must be under a certain amount of stress with your impending move to Texas. Nevertheless I feel the need to point out these minor errors. I hope this will help you to correct these tiny mistakes and perhaps assist you selling the car. Below is a copy of your add in which I have highlighted your mistakes in yellow. I have also included my own comments (in red) describing what the error was. Below that I have re-written your ad in a more logical way. Perhaps you can use this to assist you in the future.

Sincerely,

Chris

Hello,

For sale is my 1994 Honda Civic. This car has a replacement motor from a 1997 Civic-LS and has 89,000 miles on it. The transmisson is from a B18 engine. The odometer shows 150,000 miles, which isn't important as the engine has much lower mileage.

This car has numerous handling modifications giving it great control. These include front and rear strut bars, aftermarket lower control arms, and Skunk2 suspension. Factory options include power windows and power locks. There is an alarm system installed in the car. The audio system has been upgraded with a Sony deck and speakers. Other modifications include an ACT Stage 1 clutch, Magnaflow muffler, JDM front lip, and window tint. The car is very clean, inside and out. The engine and rest of the engine bay are spotless and the body is solid. The engine is very strong and I guarantee this car will give you no problems.

I'm selling the car only because I'm moving to Texas in a month and a half and need some money. Low ball offers and tire kickers need not apply, my sale price is $2500 firm.

Are you serious Tim? Do they really? Are they trying to invent a new language?

I've never seen an ad so bad as that, but if a seller replied to me in a text or email with such gibberish I would instantly walk away. In my view anybody that slapdash and careless with written language will probably be just as cavalier about servicing and caring for the car.

Do I need a car from some kid who'll put nothing into the car except alpha male accessories and gasoline?
:rolleyes::p

Nah! Don't think so. ;) :D
