Philly v. NYC: Curb Alert! 5.6.08
After frequenting the Curb Alert section of Craigslist lately, I’ve been sifting through all manner of posts offering free futons, free “fill” (hay, dirt, manure, packing peanuts, old futons) and, for whatever reason, a wide variety of free baby formula and cereal. Perhaps in reading so many similar posts I’ve become jaded, but even though many of these posts beg a lot of follow-up questions, I’m largely unimpressed by all the posts this week.
All but this one, I should say.
1) “Free 1986 Pontiac Grand Am…
Whoa, what?
….Owner’s Manual”
Of course.
“Used paperback in good condition. About 5 pages have pen or pencil marking. Please pick up in Quakertown or we can mail it for honest shipping charge. Thanks.”
Well, kick-start my heart and pour some sugar on me! I already have the 1985 and the 1987 owners manuals, so I guess it’s time to complete my set. I sincerely hope those pencil markings are lyrics to “Hot for Teacher.”
Since the last time you saw a 1986 Pontiac Grand Am was underneath Tawny Kitaen in a Whitesnake video, here you go:
I just want to tie up my oversized button-down shirt, grab a chamois and get to sudsing, don’t you?
