Can we make a new forum for funny craigslist ads?

If so, can we start with this one?

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/mcy/2245489949.html

1998 883 Harley Sportster. Has only been driven from the dealership to home, about 31 miles on it. Perfect condition, only needs a new battery. Has been garaged for it's entire life
$5000.00

I have to admit, the paint job on this thing is very attractive. But carburetors that haven't run since 1998? The mind boggles... besides, it's a Wimpster.
