Another WTF Craigslist ad

Actually, this one deserves a serious WTF.

http://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/1227861765.html

Up for sale is a 2001 Ford Focus Time Machine, sometimes called the


"Back To The Focus."



A few years ago I was walking down some railroad tracks in Southern California and came across a lot of interesting electronics which seemed to be once attached to an old 81 Delorean. Try as I might, the Delorean was completely destroyed....But I salvaged nearly all the electronics!

So I loaded everything into the back of my pickup and set out for home. Half way hom, unfortunately, I ran into quite a storm and my truck was struck by a most random bolt of lightning. This is when I realized I had found something quite valuable! As I continued to drive I started noticing things looked a little odd. Pepsi Free Billboards, an advertisement for a Huey Lewis concert, gas for 79 cents a gallon! Well it took some time, but I eventually figured out I time traveled to 1985!!!

Long story short, I met this old dude, we had a wacky adventure, and now I'm back in good ol...well..not so good 2009.

Having all these time machine parts, I decided to build my own time machine! And if your gonna build a time machine out of a car, you might as well do it with a little style....And thus the Back To The Focus was born!

I however soon realized that without Plutonium or a random bolt of lighting, I could never time travel again!

Now let me get a few things straight about this car.

1. It was originally a 2001 Ford Focus.

2. All the time machine parts work! You can enter your date and time,

Light up the flux bands and strobes, and even vent smoke from the back vents!

The Flux capacitor lights up and the gauges register.

3. The car cannot time travel without 1.21 jiggawatts of electricity!

While the Mr. Fusion is present, it is not in working order!

4. Also included are a few things I found by the tracks, including a non Hovering Hoverboard, a copy of "grays sports almanac," and a bunch of "Save the Clocktower" flyers.

Please understand that without some plutonium or lightning, you are not gonna get this thing to time travel....

I am accepting any offers on this wonderful piece of machinery!
And just when I thought it couldn't get better, the guy posted PICTURES!!!
