You now have the opportunity to own one of the best and worst LeMons cars in history: Spank’s Renault R10. The lead image should make the best/worst descriptor self-evident, we’ll elaborate to point out that it’s a terribly slow car that captures the essence of LeMons so well it won the top honor: the Index of Effluency. But there’s more than just a
terrible way to spend four figures, the ad is so well written. As purveyors of low-end craigslist and eBay finds, we wade waste-deep through the written effluence of the semi-literate. Not so with this listing. A mere sample from the lengthy listing:
It’ll be ok. It’s just some pictures. It can’t hurt you. See? It’s a screen. Go ahead and touch it. Go ahead.See? It’s just a screen, just like I said– a screen. You can scroll and look at the pictures. They’re just pictures. Just pictures on a screen…But you don’t have to live your life that way. You know– looking at pictures on a screen. I mean, you know, ANYONE can do that. You don’t even have to get dressed to do that; you can be, like, naked looking at pictures on a screen. Heck, probably a good percentage of you are darned close to naked right now. Sitting there, looking at pictures on a screen. Pictures that show there’s fun to be had out there in the world. You know– out there in that natural sunlight.Do something.Be somebody.Buy this.
The opening bid is $2,000, with a buy-it-now of $4,350. For the full price, he’ll include delivery and entry to the upcoming “Vodden The Hell Are We Doing?” Thunderhill race in September. Yes, a seriously awful “$500” car is going to cost you nearly $5 grand. Once you add up the price of a cage, seat, tires, brakes and other generally exempt items, a car of air comes in between $3 and $4k. A prepped (but awful) car plus entry for $4,350 is actually a pretty good deal once you split it between 4-6 people.
