It’s Wednesday and that must mean it’s time for our weekly dumpster dive, Craigslist Crapshoot. Last week I asked you to find the finest in Chrysler’s savior, the K-car. More on that after the jump, but first let’s get to this week’s assignment.
This being April Fools week, I thought it might be fun to look for cars that perhaps clowns might like to call home. You know how traditionally at the circus a tiny car – freakishly small really – would enter the ring. It would circle a few times, twee horn beeping, headlights flashing. Then it would stop and a door would open. Out would step a single clown, all gayly colored hobo clothes and garish makeup, hair bobbing from having just fit through the tiny door opening. That clown would step away, stretching and waving at the crowd while another would emerge from the same door. And another, and another, and another. Eventually a dozen or more would have popped miraculously from the tiny environs of the clown car. It’s a crowd pleaser if you don’t happen to find clowns completely terrifying.
That’s what I wan’t you to find this week – impossibly tiny cars. I want Goggomobils, Honda 600zs, the whole gamut of clown-approved driving fare.
And as usual, 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
