As we all know, Craigslist can be a source of classic cars, parts and memorabilia. Completely unbeknownst to anyone at Jalopnik, it can also be used to solicit sex. A 23-year-old Brentwood man responded to an ad offering sex at what we assume was an attractive rate. But instead of "hittin that," a pair of men hit him in the head with a shotgun they were carrying. The man escaped with his life, but the criminals escaped with his money and GMC Sierra truck.
Let this be a lesson to those among you in the midst of a dry spell: a sporting woman is fun for a moment, but with the inherent risks wouldn't you be better off with the less temporal satisfaction that comes from a vegetable oil-powered Ford Econoline van?

He made his half-ton bed, now he has to sleep in it.
I got nothing here. Dumbass.
Wasn't this on Law and Order a couple weeks ago?
Gee... thanks, Jalopnik. How am I supposed to get more responses from that ad now that everyone knows about it? Oh well, I was going to modify the ad to target people with Habayusa-powered vintage Honda racers tomorrow anyway.
@acarr260: Move to Alameda and target DOTS cars.
There already staked-out and photographed!
You just have to reel them in.
If you're 23 years old and you have to go to Craiglist to get some action,
you really need to re-evaluate your life 'cause I for one sure don't remember it being a problem for やのГ人Ӄ!
And buddy, if やのГ人Ӄ could get the job done, anybody can!
This has been a Dя. やのГ人Ӄ moment,
we now return you to your regularly scheduled nonsense.
@やのГ人Ӄ: Great. Now you're going to ruin that scam... I mean opportunity... as well. I asked Murilee for a map to correlate with his DOTS pics, but he seemed nervous about giving me such information.
Are craigslist sex ads anything like their car ads?
Am imagining a blurry photo of a torso.
And a pile of prosthetic limbs, of varying colours.

People who answer these ads need a little free market education. Ebay works well for cars because it's a complex transaction benefitting from wide exposure to customers. Craigslist, slightly less so. But sex sells itself. So anyone selling sex on craigslist is either:
1. Really stupid and flirting with disaster themselves
2. Nobody you'd want to go near
3. A cop
4. Chris Hansen from Dateline
or
5. A bunch of dudes waiting to jump you
This is like the one with the guy that sold 'a beatin' on e-bay. The buyer was to pay for all travel and accommodation expenses in addition to the 50 dollar 'can of ass-whoop' to be deployed at any unknown time. Apparently the bid was won at around 400 dollars, and the winner did not sue when he got his ass kicked on his way home from work by the seller 3 months later...
Is the 23-year-old Brentwood man a grad student on an engineering or science degree track? If so, this all makes sense. Or maybe he's just a dude that is afraid of talking to girls, spends a lot of time on the internet, and likes trucks. So, which one of you lives in Brentwood?

@やのГ人Ӄ: This is just sad, man. 23 year old should be running balls out naked through the trees with more fun than he can fit into a day. Someone needs to EDUCATE the boy. Jeebus.
@B: Punch-Drunk Love has a somewhat similar B-story line.
I had a similar story but instead I got screwed when I thought I was buying a car.
Paying for sex does have some appeal though. I mean as a formal transaction instead of the sneaky way they usually get you to pay for sex. Because you do pay for it, one way or another.

@oyumurtaci: i remember that ad! i didn't think it actually came true.
I believe the title line was "I will kick your ass"
Yeah, if you're killing time check out CL's "erotic services" -- it will scare you into devout chastity.
Rolling loaded dice.@mytdawg: Excellent!
Grace Slick, back in the day, had a Lotus or some exotic sports car that broke down often. She picked it up after one repair, got one block, and it died on her. She was arrested (or nearly was) for profanity and generally causing a commotion, possibly drunk at the time. Her comment? "I don't mind getting screwed, but I'd at least like to come."
@RoninianHoon:
This one is a little more direct...

@Vintage Racer:
Can you precis this, please?
Work computer says 'no'.
@Vintage Racer: That one actually sounds quasi-legit!...
Yeah you guys don't know the valley geeks around here - I think there is a trend to have the hookers train the boys so they can start dating. Of course they are nowhere near as studly as the やのГ人Ӄ!
All I can say is HAHAHAHAH! What a dumbfuck
@Stoatmaster:
best of craigslist > seattle-tacoma > Just f***ing f** me, already.
@oyumurtaci: That would only work if you could give it as a gift.
@Vintage Racer: See what ash78 said about "Nobody you'd want to go near".
Getting laid at age 23 is so much less complicated in the gay community. No expectaions beyond getting each other off. When one gets older is when it gets complicated; nothing can make a middle-aged queer feel old and invisible as quickly as a bar full of cute young men and gym bunnies. If you aren't already partnered, live can get lonely (as I am told by various friends; my partner of nearly 19 years and I don't go to the bars anymore).
Caveat emptor much?
@charles_barrett: Because let's face it, guys will always be far hornier than girls in general. Am I right?
Cue the Saturday Night Live fake commercial for guys having sex with their cars...
@ƂƵЯ: Absolutely. Also, it has been my observation that even lesbians don't understand what women want any better than do straight dudes. Some of the most tumultuous and drama-driven pairings I have been acquainted with have involved lesbians. Whether it's cultural, genetic, or hormonal, women are very complicated creatures.
In addition to amped-up horniness, gay male pairings typically do not engage in cat-and-mouse power struggles. When lesbians cheat on their partner, it's often construed as a mortal wound to the relationship. When a gay guy steps out on his partner, often the most drama you'll get is a shrug, upturned palms, and an "oh well...", then it's back to business as usual.
'driven' by his own lust?
