Check out this styling car. Be sure to read the description, look at the pics and read the emails at the bottom.
Look fast, it is already bid at over $10K. WTF??? Hilarious!

Maybe we could take up a dontation and buy this for Talon. Would make a great post-whore car.

It's over $15k now. Some of those emails are great.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2432738433 - is almost as rediculous in a different way

Dear Sir,

We take pride in our product and we believe that our turbos, like this fine racer, are the best in the market. Therefore, we would like to offer you a substantial sum of "sponsorship" money. The only thing we ask is to "Please remove our company sticker from the windshield!"

Simultaneously, though, those auctions are "serious" (amazingly enough) while the first one is a "joke."

The screwed up thing is that people are bidding on that car. What the hell are they thinking?

**Juggernaut** · 09-19-2003, 09:21 AM

Screw Talon I want this sweet ride for myself! Hey anyone have a spare football helmet I could borrow until I can buy one myself? Driving around the hood with this rod while wearing a football helmet..........bro's, I'll have to beat the honey's off with a stick!

And that Timex tack...................if I can't buy this car I'm gettin me one of those for sure!

**Dude-Man** · 09-19-2003, 09:30 AM

looks like someone withdrew their bid, lololol, only at 10,600 now. I can't believe this, maybe i'll put my souped up festiva up for auction. Now.. i just have to soup it up.

**hybrid** · 09-19-2003, 10:40 AM

A little garden edging, a clock and half a garbage can and your festiva will be tricked out and draw big bucks at auction.

Well, that's pretty much BS as well. My guess is that people are making up aliases and then bidding on the car with no intention to purchase in the first place. Why? Who knows.

You're most likely right. The people who are bidding have no feedback, so they have nothing to lose by not coming through at the end of the auction. Still funny.

If you look at the bid history, the guy has been cancelling a lot of bids for zero or negative feedback. Almost like he is taking this seriously.

**TheDfromGC** · 09-19-2003, 01:13 PM

i wouldnt take that first car if they tried to pay me to take it. if i knew somebody that wanted to pay $10000 for that, i would fuckin smack the shit outta them!!!!!

**Calipso** · 09-19-2003, 05:24 PM

Honda civics make me puke. My Mitsubishi 8g would eat them for breakfast.

**hybrid** · 09-22-2003, 08:04 AM

It's up to $14999 now. Only one and a half days to go.

**Strut99GT** · 09-22-2003, 10:10 AM

I'm sure after all the shenanigans goign on with this auction, the car will eventually sell for about $200. :P

**ENraged** · 09-22-2003, 11:14 AM
