Haha, while eating breakfast thismorning I came across this ad in the paper. Someone either doesn't know crap all about the car they're selling, or it's a scam. Either way, it's hillarious.

and make sure you pretend that you know nothing about the 8. Ask how it gets 280hp from 2 cylinders

After he spills his great knowledge of the vehicle he owns, should I tell him the truth?

Gave him a call, got an answering machine

It's hard because I'm at work.. I'll call him on my lunch break again (a couple hours).

Going to ask him the following:

Why do you want to sell it?

2 cylinder engine and 280 horsepower! What kind of MPG were you getting on it, and does it have any mods? How do they get so much power out of such a small engine?

In your ad, it says "rotary". What does that mean?

Can't wait!

Come to think of it, I don't think the guy even had his NAME in his voicemail message.. Hopefully it's not just some random scam.. I want to laugh at him!

Yeah, my 2007 6MT GT burned me nearly $51,000 after all said and done off the lot.

Haha, I'll see if its an I-4 or a V6, I'll also ask how many pistons it has.
