My favourite Craigslist moment selling a car was when I was selling a 1999 Lexus ES300, which was rebuilt, so you get all manner of sketch-ass people in those circumstances... anyway this Australian skater guy shows up with this super hot west van Persian princess... I'm already thinking "How the fuh?" about the whole thing, he is obviously on something, knows nothing about cars, but has a lot of bravado... opens and closes all the doors, hood, trunk, asks me if we can drive it and I said "Sure, but I'll drive if that's ok" and he doesn't object, so we go around the block... park... he asks me to pop the hood, he pulls out the dipstick and pretends to look at it... then he looks at the header on the engine and says "That doesn't look stock" and I was like "Well... it is" and he says "Why's it all brown then?" and I said "That's what happens when metal gets extremely hot... your car will be the same if you take a look" and all the sudden he reaches out and GRABS IT WITH HIS HAND... like literally right where there's a sign that has a line through a hand not to touch.... which of course resulted in a severe burn to his entire palm!!! He leaps backward screaming and holding his hand, I had to let him in my parents house to run his hand under cold water and then all the sudden he starts acting fine again even though his skin is like melted and I am telling him he needs to go to the hospital... he shakes his head and goes back out to look at the car, reaches out to touch the fucking header again and I grabbed his arm and said "DUDE... it's HOT, you just burned yourself on it like 2 minutes ago!" and he pushes my arm away, goes "You know what, I don't trust this car... I don't trust that part of the car, it tried to hurt me" and then he tells his GF "Let's go" and he jumps in his car and peels off.
To this day... I have no idea..... I always wonder what happened to them.
