    No, sir. No Hammer Pants necessary. No panty-soaking, pussy-magnet yellow Nissan Xterra necessary, either.

    Like all Xterras, because it's extra manly, it comes in panty-soaking pussymagnet yellow.

    @prndl: The Nissan Xterra is so manly, that even when partially demolished, sorority girls will still fall all over themselves to have one of the Xterra's famous beardstache rides.


    If cars had facial hair, forget 5 o'clock shadow-- The Xterra has a full-blown manbeard.

    For the international man of Mystery who already follows the jet-set lifestyle.


    To go with your Phillipe-Patek watch, Gucci loafers and Armani slacks. Slick your $200 ponytail back and feel the soft leather on this baby.


    Watch the immediate attention of the hot blondes on the sidewalk. The admiring glances from coffee-house patrons. The knowing smile on your bosses face.


    You can park in front of the restaurant, by the doors. The valet will treat it with the respect he wold his own father. This is a car for the connoisseur, the man about town who needs the best. Without rival.


    A car to quicken the pulse.


    But do not apply if you're a wannabe. If it's all a pose. This car is the real deal. Not for dreamers. You've earnt it, you deserve it. You've arrived.


    Savour the moment.


    For sale:- 1988 Chryser LeBaron 2.5 Convertible.

    @Rust-MyEnemy--ymenEyM-tsuR:

    For the man who already has two white leisure suits and a discoball in the living room.


    Yes, you are the embodiment of all things disco-- you're Disco Stu, and your name emblazoned on the back of your jacket in rhinestones lets everyone know who you are, and gives the ladies fair warning, Disco Stu is on the prowl.


    And Disco Stu needs a car to match his mojo.

    That's right, a car for comfort.

    A car for quality.

    A car thats limited numbers make it more exclusive than the Roxbury.


    You need a car with style to rival your own. A car that says you've really arrived when you hand the Valet your keys.


    You need the DATSUN 280ZX BLACK GOLD.


    Black Gold. Only a lucky few will possess its limited numbers, and Disco Stu will be one of them.


    BLACK GOLD!!

    Maybe I need to do something like this. The Saturn still hasn't sold and now I have three cars. But you try to write creative copy for a 4-banger slushbox appliance. It's impossible.

    It shouldn't be too bad; it's not unheard of for guys to buy the automatics for cheaper and do the transmission swap themselves.

    Just an idea for starters - don't refer to it as "a 4-banger slushbox appliance" from now on. Wait.. on second thoguht, a Saturn buyer might like that description.

    @pauljones: 03 L-series (L200). One big problem is that Carmax and the like are listing them for $9k-$10k, but KBB says something like $6k for private party. Big chasm. Besides that, nobody is spending money right now and gas prices are back down...

    @The Name's Ash78, Housewares:


    Ah. I have an SL2, and I was considering buying a parts car for it on the cheap. They are simple enough cars to work on, but that doesn't help if you don't have the parts to do it. The L-Series, though, is the big brother to my SL2, and doesn't share too much in commonality. Bummer. Otherwise, I would have considered it.

    @The Name's Ash78, Housewares: "The Saturn's soft plastic body panels bounce back after an impact, which means they'll absorb a roundhouse kick without denting (unless the kick is delivered by Chuck Norris-- but if you've pissed off Chuck Norris, you'd better just lay down and die) and allow the driver to run over terrorists without hurting the car's front clip. Some think the automatic transmission is for lazy drivers, but in reality being able to drive with one foot can save your life if you've gotten hurt during a fight with a grizzly bear and had to amputate one of your legs with a toenail clipper. The automatic is also useful if you have to shoot at communists while driving, but be careful, as the glovebox won't hold plastic Glocks. In fact, the glovebox won't accept anything less manly than a Colt 1911, and it prefers the model 1873 Single Action Army revolver. In short, this plastic-bodied car is totally metal."


    Also, try putting "GREAT MPG" in the ad.

    Include a LOT of pictures with proper HTML tags and you'll sell it. Oh, and don't type in ALL CAPS BECAUSE PEOPLE HATE THAT

    @Armand Bengle: That is awesome prose, thanks. I may have to crib some of that (especially the plastic/metal line at the end...gold!). This time, I probably need to list the ad WITHOUT my wife's approval. See, it was her car until recently, so she was technically in charge.
