Here are 5 “best of Craigslist” posts that have at least something to do with cars. Some important points before we continue:
- There will not be any apologies for offensive language. If you read from this point forward and click on the links, you WILL see something offensive. Such is the beast.
- None of the holier-than-thou “I ride a bicycle and I’m better than you” rants that are so popular on Craigslist made it on our list. Sorry. (OK, not really sorry. Screw those people.)
- Keep the conversation going. Feel free to post a link to a best of Craigslist post that’s automotive in nature in the comments
Best of Craigslist posts with an automotive flavor
Number 1: One BAD Personalized Plate
How can one person get 50 parking tickets, each one for a different car…the answer? They have a personalized plate that’s simply “NV.”
Number 2: Rant For Anyone Who Works In The Auto Business
If you work at a dealership, repair shop, or any sort of retail repair type business, this rant from an oven repairman will make you bust a gut. Best part:
We get 50 or more broken oven calls in the few days leading up to turkey day and santa day. We get one or two any other week. Ovens don’t collectively go on strike. Most people just admit their sh*t has been broken since the Clinton administration, but some of you think you can bullsh*t me.
Read it – seriously.
Number 3: Traffic Rants
There are dozens of rants about traffic, but a couple stand out. First, we have an introduction to rush hour traffic – “definitions and how to for beginners.” It’s profane, but it’s a nice warm up for the guide to driving in Phoenix (that’s FEE-NICKS).
Number 4: Cool Story About Redemption
Next time you think you’re having a bad day, read this story about a homeless guy getting back on his feet after a dealership took a chance on him and hired him to be a detailer.
Number 5: People Who Hate Annoying Car Ads
Craigslist is chock-full of classified ads for cars, and some of them are hilariously ridiculous. This list of the most irritating car ads hits a home run with this line:
3. The Detached-From-Reality Dipsh*t. “One owner 1986 Corolla. 234K miles. Needs a front bumper and headliner droops. Radiator leaks and needs alignment. $2300 FIRM.” Hey meatstick, one owner or 10 owners, your sh*t is old, worn-out, and worth $300.
Nice.
Finally, if you’re posting an ad on Craigslist trying to sell your car, give this list of classified car ad tips a gander (and remember a tacometer is a Mexican dish, not a gauge).
Any best of craigs ads we missed?

The basics of Traffic Jams was great. The oven repair guy needs to choke on his stupidity and die. He is wasting my oxygen. He gets people telling him stupidity 2 weeks a year and he blows a gasket? That is how I work everyday.
“What happened to your computer?”
“It broke”
“What did it do before it broke?”
“Made noises, You have to get it working within 5 minutes, I have a meeting I need some files for!”
“There seems to be a screwdriver sticking out the computer and a shoe print on the screen”
“I dunno”
“No, there is…see”
“It is always broken”
“Do you always stab and kick your computer”
“I didn’t”
“Really?”
“You have to make it work now”
“Violence and technology, not good bedfellows”
“I am telling your supervisor!”
“That You Kicked and stabbed your computer? Put your supervisor on the line too…that way I don’t have to make a call also”
” IT IS YOUR FAULT MY PC DOES’T WORK!!!”
Everyday and most weekends.
Oh joy, 2 weeks a year, I have ZERO sympathy for your lethogic exsistance, Mr. Oven repair boy.
