Baaaaad things poeople do to 124's

Here's a prime example http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/car/337162572.html

Oh, sorry its not a diesel but I figured it could be compared to one, besides there are better stats on this group!
I believe I can figure out SEE SAWING but wtf is PANCAKE and why would anyone in their senses want to botch-up such a fine ride?

I think its a joke, someone might have an axe to grind "witch their frien" or they lost their pimp license or need a downpayment for a ponyack!
Honest, if the lister gave me a tel# I wouldn't even call it unless I was using a Payfone!

201, no doubt about it. That guy has four freakin' batteries in that thing! I really don't get why people think cars like this look good...

If they're selling it for cheap, it's prolly because the interior is crapped-out. For example, worn-out seat springs. Low-rider.

ewwwwww

Why can't they pick exclusively on Dodge Dynasties, Buick Regals or Ford Tauruses for this kind of "work"?

That car needs to be brought back to stock, or sent to the crusher.

I wouldn't be surprised if the owner thinks gold teeth on humans looks good.

I don't like it, ... but I've seen so many straight gas 190s in the boneyard, at least this one is still on the road.

That's one of the stoopitess, uglyess things I've eva seen.... what kinda moron really thinks that's almost remotely tasteful, on any car? The paint job, and wheels, are the worst though..Not to mention the car is likely already twisted, and warped, after all of the twisting, and warping those Hydro's do to any car, anyone ever put them in. So friggin stupid. (I still couldn't help but save it to my "Favorites", and put it into "My pictures") Not at all because I like it, but for "Archive", sorta reasons..

Hey Jimmy, we're sorry!
