Ever Wanted Your Own Land Speeder?

    What fascinates me is the price. 880 miles and a real car and the guy is selling it for less than $5000 + 50% of the transport costs? Makes you wonder a bit.

    Cop: Son, do you realize you were going 45 in a 25? License, and, um, registration please.

    Obi Wannabe: These are not the droids you are looking for.

    Cop: What?

    Obi Wannabe: Move Along.

    Cop: Get out of the car and place your hands where I can see them...

    it used to be a frigging Ford Escort. How much more could he fuck it up?
    • Horrible braking distance? Check.
    • Drives like a barge in a river? Check.
    • Pieces falling off? Check.
    • Rollover? Check.
