Welcome to Craigslist Crapshoot, our weekly search for the most bizarre, awesome, and/or terrible vehicles that the online classifieds has to offer.
Do you have a tattoo? How about a non-traditional piercing? These are some of the more drastic body modifications that some people like to use to set themselves apart from the crowd, and honestly, even something as mainstream as braces is a body mod. Most of these are totally socially acceptable in present society. The same can’t be said for certain automotive mods, and we’ll get the most egregiously offensive one in a sec. First however, this week’s noble quest.
I feel like horsing around. That of course means pony cars, but I also feel like riding my pony outside of the mainstream. That’s why this week we need to find the best values (and I’ll leave that term up to your interpretation) of pony cars that aren’t F-bodies (Camaros and Firebirds) or Mustangs. Everything else is fair game, and remember, we’re looking for deals and steals.
As always, we want your finds to go down in infamy and not in the site’s spam filter. Follow any of the following advice and you’re crap will be known far and wide.
- Easiest way to not get caught in the spam filters is to create an IntenseDebate account. If you do so and your posts aren’t appearing, let us know at tips@hooniverse.info and we can put you on the whitelist
- If you don’t want an IDC account, you can create a wordpress.com account and do the same thing.
- If you’re the Ted Kaczynski type and don’t want any kind of account, then try to place only a single link in a comment and just drop any outgoing link in via its raw URL and not as a text link.
Got that? Okay let’s get our mod on.
You know, I think I missed a great opportunity by not offering for sale spritzers of eye bleach to go along with last week’s quest. It truly amazes me how many people modify their car in a manner that’s obviously so personal and unique an expression of their particular interest and visual inclination, who then want to sell the result.
So many eye-searing paint jobs, so very many doors switched to art studio paper cutter form. And of course the DUBs, all the freaking DUBs. The one car that managed to stand out amongst this technicolor yawn of cars was this crazy convertible Caprice wagon found by Hatchtopia. Offered appropriately in Las Vegas, this is a car that makes you hope that Nevada playground’s tagline – what happens here stays here – remains sacrosanct.
Well done, Hatchtopia, and thanks to you all for playing!
