Take a unicorn, promises of fast-growing beards and a teal 1995 Pontiac Grand
Am, and what do you get?
Possibly the best used car ad you'll ever see.
It doesn't include anyone dressed as Uncle Sam, nor does it make promises
about low prices. The Seattle Craigslist ad promises that if you buy this car,
the experience will be "better than your last four romantic encounters,
combined."
"I know what you're asking yourself, 'Am I man enough to handle a car this
flawless?'" the ad reads. "The short answer is no."
The car is owned by Joe Strachila, of Everett, Wash., whose childhood friend
Kyle Miller "dug deep into his manly creativity center (a place often filled
with beer), and created the ad for me," Strachila said in an email to The
Huffington Post. The Washington State grad, now an engineer for an aerospace
company in Seattle, wrote that it's time to let someone else have the joy of
owning the Pontiac.
Strachila's cellphone battery quickly died after the ad was posted. No doubt
because he was getting calls from throngs of buyers in the Seattle area who are
dying to get their hands on this teal Pontiac masterpiece.
Craigslist took down the ad shortly after the auto enthusiast website
Jalopnik linked to it, declaring it "The Best Craigslist Car Ad Ever."
Miller, a communications manager near Seattle, said graphic design is a part
of his job, and humor is a hobby.
"As you can probably guess, I love humor that blows simple things completely
out of proportion," he said in an email. "I thought the ad was funny, but I am
completely taken aback by the response."

to buy the car ourselves) below:
