http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-LOOKING-FOR-A-RICER-JDM-ONLY-W0QQAdIdZ522188513

Looking for a ricer POS honda or something. Has to be rice to the max and must be automatic. Straight pipe exauhst that dosn't connect to any headers. It has to have a neon colour along with a bunch of unrecognizable decals. There has to be a church pew spoiler and a body kit that resembles an F1 race car. There has to be 34 inch tires with shiny hubcaps. Looking for tint that matches the body colour along with underglo. Need it tonight. Thanks.

If you were the one interested in buying the car I'm sure you'd read it!  ;)

Those last few sentences are hilarious.
