We’ve seen our fair share of insane and ridiculous Craigslist ads, from the girl who was knocked up at a Motorhead concert and someone offering to be your personal dinosaur to the most hipster ass bike and a used yoga mat. Hell, our own Danger Guerrero would probably tell you that the greatest Craigslist ad ever belongs to his beloved Wu-Tang Clan. But for me, it’s not about the amount of crazy, but how well that crazy is used that truly makes or breaks an ad.
One man in Everett, Washington agrees, as he recently listed his 1995 Pontiac Grand Am GT for sale on Craigslist, and he chose to add a little flair with photoshop. The result is an ad so great that I actually found myself thinking, “You know, that is a pretty f-ing sweet Pontiac right there.”

See, Cars.com should follow this guy’s lead rather than going the “creepy-ass disembodied face floating out of someone’s head” route. Fuck those commercials.
“Every previous owner has had a beard.”
That is one of the greatest selling points in the history of the written word.
Ten bucks says Ron Swanson wrote that ad.
“Because unicorns” is going to become my de facto answer for everything.
Did someone complain because the understated, tasteful unicorn rainbow graphic that inspired me to grow a beard and become a lumberjack is no longer up.
Or perhaps he sold the car.
What the seller did tell you: “Every previous owner has has a beard.”
What the seller did not tell you: “Even my Grandma.”
This made me cry and laugh at the same time.
I am totally under the thrall of this ad.
