This is how you do it, in case you need any pointers.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I think my favorite part is “the interior is there isn’t an interior”. For some reason I thought that was really funny, but I’m known to think more highly of my work than other people do. Most people will probably think it’s a typo though, which is unfortunate.

This sad, unfortunate pile has been out behind my shed for a year or so. It was going to be a LeMons car, but it needs so much shit just to get to ‘driveable’ that I’m actually better off buying a good one (available all day for $600 with half as many miles). Not that I plan to, I have no kind of time for this thing.

Hopefully somebody gives me $50 for it.

No pictures?

An ad with no pictures means “murdererist" to me.

The lacking the will to live part was my favorite.

I think the Saturn is at its best when you can’t see it. I’m also glad smellevision isn’t a thing.

I'll probably take a single grainy picture of it, tilted 90 degrees, and put my thumb over where the license plate goes even though there's no plate on it.

Ha! Mission accomplished. My wife is great, and my son is the coolest, so it's actually really good. But hey, that's why I'm such a great fiction writer.

It would be a good car for somebody who has a wrecked one. It's in nice shape, but it kinda needs everything.
