After these LeMons Forum participants discovered one of the best Craigslist car ads of all time, we decided to take their advice and make a penalty out of the text of the ad.
It appears that the post has been flagged for removal, so here’s the complete text:

This is an awesome idea for a penalty. I look forward to more such “Masterpiece Theater” shows like this.

Wow, that ad started lame and just got worse. You picked just the right person to read it. What did they do to earn the honor?

Haha, awesome – I must admit, when I suggested this as a punisment I wasnt sure how funny it would be but damn, it was all I hoped for and more.

Somehow, I feel this has contributed to the Zeitgeist of LeMons.

I had a hard enough time holding back fits of laughter while just reading the ad…
Having a guy yell it sealed the deal. Some Lemonhead should’ve arranged a meeting to see the car, and recorded the experience.
