Title: Why can't anybody spell "Edelbrock"?!?
Post by: CoogarXR on February 06, 2012, 09:44:59 PM
Ever notice that? In CL ads, or wherever, nobody can spell Edelbrock! Elderbrock, Eldebrock, EddiesBack, El Diablo, whatever abomination they can think of. I don't think I have ever seen it spelled correctly on Craigslist.

Drives me nuts. I just wanted to whine I guess...

I agree. I saw a car with an "Elderbrock 4 barrow" carb not too long ago on CL.

Barrow, LOL!

I bet it was a "Couger" with new "break calibers" and a new "altinater" too (all of which I have seen recently). "Straight pipes, no cadillac converters!"

They're called hadlights because someone had lights before the seller jacked them from their car.

Nowhere on craigslist's Terms of Service do I see literacy as a requirement for use............. I'm flagging all of you.
