Subject: IML: "Imperials Wanted"
section
Just had a thought...
I was recently killing time, surfing the classified ad section. I clicked
over to the "wanted" section and realized that about 50% of the ads are
obvious derby guys (some of whom are not very good liars; see below.)
"I'M LOOKING FOR 65-68 IMPERIALS TO RESTORE MOTOR AND TRANNY IS NOT A MUST
BUT A DECENT BODY WOULD BE NICE.... Email is : cjbderby05@xxxxx"
Hmm.... Looking to "restore", no motor required, decent body
would be nice, and the e-mail has the word "derby" as a prefix. Now I
might not be inspector Columbo of the LAPD, but something about this ad
doesn't add up.
It seems a shame to me that such an excellent website has become a hang-out
for those who seek to destroy the very cars the website seeks to preserve. It
is especially vulgar when the guy placing the ad is obviously lying.
Just to show that I'm willing to do something, I'd be happy to help
weed-out these folk in some manner. (They're pretty easy to spot.) Otherwise I
might suggest dropping the "wanted" section altogether (whole cars only, not
parts).
What are your thoughts?
