Woke up at 7 and could’ve used the past few hours to do productive things like school, but instead found myself pursuing the web for camera gear I can’t afford, and stick shift cars I could abuse (though still can’t afford) .  

Found a fun Craigslist ad I thought I’d share:

Funny, I’ve never heard of a Kia Great Work Car... must be the newest model.

(the ad lists it as a 1995 Kia Sedona, but even I knew that wasn’t right, it’s not a minivan. A free VIN decoder revealed it to be a 2000 Kia Sephia/Spectra. Thanks the internet).

The real juiciness lies in this cars features, half of which aren’t features at all, but what can you expect from a clunker Kia Great Work Car.

I really need to get my hands on a stick shift, it’s been way too long. I’d mooch off a pal, but the only pal I knew who had a stick (2001 M3) sold it and joined the armed forces. Bummer.

Take Care Folks.

What kind of person never even checks the A/C functionality in Florida? That’s at least a funny ad. There is something nice about not giving a flying flip about the aesthetics of your car because it is already so degraded. I’d give him $500 and drive it home.

Reminds me of this ad that just popped up near me. “My Honda Hooptie Baby”

Very reassuring.

Well it’s good he clarified that it’s not self-driving, because I was wondering.

That’s what I thought when I read that too. My A/C is always on full blast, I simply can’t imagine never using it. A little suspicious, but hey, at least Mr. Bob knows what he has... a cheap ride.

I particularly like the one blurry photo on the ad, followed by a clearer shot. He could’ve not included that, but no. Every photo of his Honda Hooptie Baby is precious, and should be cherished beyond end.

You never know with all Kia’s new features, do you?

The nearly identical but much more blurry photo is supposed to ease you into the experience of beholding such a grand sight. Not just anyone can look upon his Hooptie Baby unprepared.
