Jags of this vintage are reliable, right?  Was gonna say it's not an R so...meh...but 385 HP and a V8...and under $17g for what was probably over $100 new...I'm in!

But, something as important as an ad should always be proofread.

At my work I constantly point out spelling mistakes  on posted signs.   "Authorized Personal Only"    "Lockout for Maitenance" "Percision Winder Drive".

Also, a peculiarity of local speech (I hope) is to leave out the words "to be".   They'll say "My car needs fixed"

In our building there's a sign that says "pedestrain" and it bugs me every time I see it.

no excuse at all

a mistake like that gets a horse head in your trunk from the ARCC.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Camaro for Firm?

That's amazing!

I agree.  Hideous, but amazing build quality.

Lexus should have used that design for its predator grill.  ;D
