Think you can make money by advertising on your car?

Nope.

His sexy red car has yet to get one bid, and his reserve must be in the neighborhood of... $46,000?

Sounds like a pompous git. Let's analyze this:

I am a young, enterprising, studmuffin, and a recent college graduate, working for a Fortune 500 company. Not only do I succeed in the business world, but my social popularity is soaring, especially with the ladies. You will find me on the road traveling with young hot babes in mini skirts, bikinis and Prada bags, so you will be sure that everyone's heads will be turning my way. I've driven this car through four years of college, and there have been some wild times in both the front and back seats... ::wink wink!:: I am buying a sportscar at the end of the year, but for now, I want to get my last array of cheap thrills by doing something totally OUTRAGEOUS with this fine piece of machinery.

He is young: Very naive for trying this twist at copycatting.
He is enterprising: Will do anything for money. What a whore.
Studmuffin: Unless he's selling his body, this will him no favors.
Recent college graduate: But no job, hence his need to do this.
Works for a Fortune 500 company: And we believe this because...
Succeeds in the business world: Yup, that's why he's pimping his car.
Social popularity...: Read his entire advertisement; he's got the personality of a slimy mollusk.
...especially with the ladies: Bisexual? Or camping up the concept that, somehow, boinking women is going to help him here.
hot babes in mini skirts...: How does this deal with advertisement? Unless he's a pimp?
Fine piece of machinery: If it's so fine, how come he wants a sports car, the cost of which must be in the neighborhood of $46,000?


One more snippet from the mincing mouse:

A little bit more about your host: Am I attractive? Yes. Am I charismatic? Definitely. Will this ad bring you tons of business? Without a doubt.

Attractive? Why don't we see any pics of him, but only of a small thumbnail of a car, probably taken at a used car lot?

Charismatic? After reading the entire display, "pompous" is more apropos.

Will the ad bring him tons of business? No. That's why corporations sell T-shirts wth thir logos in big names: When people are dumb enough to BUY AND WEAR THEM, the advertising is not only free, we're paying them to advertise for them. (and women can't be annoyed by this when men stare at the big "OLD NAVY" moniker that's cleverly positioned over the breastal area...)


Oh, bonus:

The eBay photo below is a stock model. Actual pictures of me and my car will follow.

I knew it, and I figured it out long before his admission at the end. The auction has three HOURS left and he has yet to put up any real pics. What a fraud.

Oh, 303 people currently visited. How many of them are corporate execs? 0.

This kid would be better off working at Pizza Hut. He'll get lots of logos to put onto his car. They'll scratch the surface, and he won't get 12,000 CENTS for it.



Edit: Spelling: :mad:

It needs a new paint job something fierce so they could paint their logo on it for all I care. I'm trying to sell it and not having much luck.

"Are you a pompous jackass? My target market is pompous jackasses who think they have the world by the tail, but are so desperate for money they have to sell ad space on their mediocre car."

I am desperate for money with one mediocre car and would sell ad space on it -- but I'm not a pompous jackass!

:D

Sorry.

check his feedback. Climbing that corporate ladder. Must be the Fortune 500 Co. he works for.

What a sad, sad, man.

Disclaimer: not that I have anything against book selling, I have done a lot of such on Ebay, but, then again, I wouldn't consider applying studmuffin to my self-appraisal.
