I had a random thought today as I carried on with my chores. If I were to write a dating ad, it would sound like I was trying to offload a POS onto someone through Craigslist.
Decent utility vehicle that's had a few owners and has exceedingly high mileage for it's age. Needs new shocks, steering rack, tie rods, tie rod ends, ball joints, brakes, bearings. Could use a tune-up and the transmission needs work. No creature comforts to speak of - A/C is on the fritz, seats are uncomfortable, and the stereo only has one crappy 6x4 speaker in the dash. Paint faded, chipped, and it's kind of rusty. Vehicle needs a LOT of prodding to get started in the morning, but once it gets running, it's hard to shut down. Temperamental vehicle - it creaks, groans, whines, clunks, and shimmies at every bump in the road or every unplanned turn. You'd probably be better of walking or riding a bike, but this vehicle can haul sheets of plywood, so there's that, which is nice. Come on by and kick the tires.
