Delusional Charger sellers

It's free and it's easy to learn.  It doesn't take much effort at all.  Hell this is my adopted language, I grew up speaking Dutch, but at least I put in the effort to do it right.

I gave up on correcting people.  I didn't need the flack, especially when it's full of grammatical errors.   :lol:  Besides, it would be a full time job on this site.

Oh and it's repro, not repo.    :slap:   :nana:

I am aware of that...I was lumping it in with needs restored and the others.
When someone writes that their car is full of repo parts, I cringe....as if the parts were taken back because the buyer never paid for them in full.

When I saw the repo remark the first time I thought it was a typo, but then I saw it time and time again.  Crazy

You know what gets me?  And we see this one all the time.  "I would of" instead of "I would have/I would've".  Drives me nuts!

Well, back to regular programming I suppose.  As with grammatical errors there are tons of delusional sellers as well so bring 'em on!

keep at it  :slap:

See??? I'm not alone in the quest for reasonably decent grammar!

Is it possible people are using "repo" as shorter version of re popped parts? :shruggy: :brickwall:

Grammar?   How about the punctuation?   Who's not going to throw that job application away.

I think the more you frequent a forum, the more the grammatical stuff bothers you, usually takes a few years before you say anything, but you eventually will.  The older you get, the more use of correct English concerns you, mainly because you see how the younger generations change meanings, redefine words, then start making things shorter because that's all that fits in twitter. 

For some reason, most posters on threads on car forums feel guilty if their post is longer than 3 lines long, to effectively get a point across for me at least, takes a paragraph for each idea or point.  Part of my background was in proofreading, editing, and writing effectively, early in career was doing performance appraisals, later was procedural manuals. So, for future use, excuse my posts that get too long, the scroll wheel can expedite reading speeds.

what would not be delusional for a 40k to 50k car? Not currently selling, just trying to figure out why some go easily for 40k and others are 80k or higher.

some people just need some sense slapped into them  :slap:

That 67 clearly appears like a guy that has no expectations of anyone actually willing to buy it. These assclowns place a sky high price on the car to purposely avoid selling so they have justification in keeping it.

well, its probly one of those...i dont wanna sell but if i get 40k its gone type deal

How's about a 1968 Charger 500 R/T 383 ?   :rofl:
