    It's a dealer. He must want it gone.

    He certainly has something against old men with lines like:

    THIS CAR IS YOUR TYPICAL OLD MANS CAR

    IT WAS LOADED INSIDE AND ON TOP WITH STUFF, OLD MAN STUFF LIKE BOXES AND STORAGE

    What? Young people don't use boxes and store stuff?


    Don't be so mean to old men. An old man might want to buy your car.

    Is that a rust stain on the foot rest or is it just the light from a courtesy light from an aging yellow light bulb?

    Not a bad looking wagon for the price (no reserve?). I'd at least go look at it if it wasn't so darn far away.

    Wonder why no bidding? Start price is reasonable.

    I'm amused. He can't figure out how to get the radio to "start".

    Reminds me of George Carlin..."There are two knobs on the radio! One of them turns the radio OFF, and the other one *smacks self in head* CHANGES the station! Imagine that, you can actually change the station!"

    Questions: Is it just me or does the "Chevrolet" emblem on the tail gate look misplaced? In other box model years (maybe not in '85?) I thought "Chevrolet" was left justified and "Caprice Estate" was right justified (of center)..?

    Also, was the "Brougham" name used on the wagons (as well as the sedans)?

    The Brougham label is misused from a late 1980s Caprice sedan.
