Today’s word is fun!

No, really... the word “fun.”

Type “fun”, and only “fun,” into your local Craiglist, and let’s see some of the most interesting/cool/hilarious/etc results on the first page.

Here are mine:

You know, I don’t think any of those are wrong. I was expecting much worse.

I assume we’re doing this in the cars for sale section? Do that same search on backpage and I bet you’d get slightly different results... lol

Ha! I did something similar about an hour ago. I searched “mint” and this came up in the first row. The relevant quote, “Bad motor, body is mint...”

I found this ! Plus: 3 pedals. Minus: missing 2 cylinders. Unbelievably clean. Looks like a great deal at $3500.

That is interesting! I’d never heard of these before.

I like their advertising using “FORD GT” quite prominently, and then burying “Ford GT Mustang (Fox body)“ deep in the paragraph. haha

That sand rail looks pretty awesome. Reminds me of an RC Car.

This truck is mistyped “$10" in the title, although it’s meant to say “$10,500". Seller is going to run in to trouble either way.

It's just too much fun. I don't think my heart could handle all the excitement.

But, of course, FORD GT should be prominent. ;D

I think this car has been on CL for quite a few years.

I thought it looked like a Matchbox or Hotwheels car that I remember as a kid. Looks hilarious.

Thumbs up for any proper use of leather straps on a car. That thing does look fun!

I was going to do some shitty examples of ‘fun’ but the pickins were surprisingly thin. So here are three examples of fun from Denver:

Kinja'd!!!

First up, a 1973 Super Beetle convertible . The owner is honest about its imperfections but is quite right that this would be a fun little car to dick around town.

Kinja'd!!!

Secondly, a 1963 Triumph Sptifire racer . For five large, I could happily drop this in my driveway and trailer it out to HPR for some good times.

Kinja'd!!!

Last but not least, something I may just purchase on a whim this weekend, a 1953 Chevy (probably) 150 . Seller states the frame is powdercoated and most parts are there; this would make a rather fun build.

Not a very interesting list around here. A few Mini’s, an old Beetle, some old pickup truck, bunch of Jettas, BMWs, a Porsche and Audi or two.... and then these two fun-mobiles:
