Despite being a useful resource for millions of people worldwide, Craigslist tends to be a breeding ground for weirdos, creeps, and degenerates—and the "cars for sale" section is certainly no exception. Today, in honor of making sure you don't get scammed (or hacked-up and dumped on the side of the highway) we bring you 21 of the strangest Craigslist car ads ever conceived. From a dude trying to sell his Grandma's DeLoreon to a Mazda Miata with a "messed up sexual history" we touch all the bases.

21. TMI
He could have just said that he needed the money real bad. Either way, he's got balls—or used to.
20. Scared of Integers
This guy is apparently allergic to the top row of his keyboard. Why else would he spell out his phone number?
19. False Advertising
At last count, there are 25,674,681 people currently residing in Texas. And these guys somehow want you to believe that they have the only 2001 S2000 in the entire state. Get real, fellas.
18. Meth Lab?
You could either take this beauty out to the desert and begin a career as a meth cook, or, for those of you who don't feel like spending the next 10 years behind bars, watch season 1 of "Breaking Bad" from the comfort of your couch.
17. Ninja Pants Included
We can't help but wonder why this seller thought that an ugly pair of "ninja pants" would be an incentive to prospective buyers. Either way, we give him props for random—if not totally misguided—creativity.
16. A "Messed Up Sexual History????!!!"
How the hell do you get laid in a Miata?! Apparently, this dude's roommate somehow figured it out.
15. The Ultimate Pontiac
We love that the seller indicated that each previous owner has had a beard. Somehow, inexplicably, we want this car.
14. Wants To Trade For a 911??!!!
Is this guy out of his mind?! He wants to trade a clunky Quattroporte from the '80s for a 911 or a 2007 Maserati? We're hoping he wasn't able to sucker anyone into doing the deal.
13. "Yeah, it's a Lexus. I'm Rich."
This kid has clearly seen one too many episodes of "Pinks."
12. Invisible Car
This is yet another sorry example of what happens when dudes have WAY too much time on their hands.
11. "Free New/Used Car"
Begging on Craigslist is nothing new. But pleading for a free car ("I can't afford to pay anything") takes it to a whole new level.
10. Mr. Phonetic
Pardon our blatant snobbism but this guy desperately needs to discover the wonders of spellcheck. Almost every multi-syllabic word is spelled phonetically—and incorrectly. Good to know that he "poot a wader" pump in, though.
9. Car For Foamposites?
Here's a dude who would rather take a pair of sweet kicks over his current whip—a purple Cavalier. While we admire his zeal, we can't help but think that he might be the dumbest guy in Queens.
8. Dinged-Up Enzo
We've got a hunch that the purported 'valet incident' was a little more serious than is being portrayed. Why else would someone try to dump a $1M Enzo on Craigslist?
7. Lambo Needs a Buff
A little Turtle Wax and this beauty will shine right up!
6. Grandma's DeLorean
According to the huckster who posted this ad, "grandma died and left me with it." He is unloading his newly inherited DeLorean for a paltry $1500. At last check, DeLoreans were worth around $25,000. Either this guy doesn't have a clue or it's a scam. Our money is on scam.
5. Spurious Spelling
Here's a tip: Don't buy a car from a guy who can't spell the name of the vehicle he supposedly owns.
4. Caddy With "Stains"
Clearly fake—or some sort of oddly conceived scam—but it gave us a chuckle nonetheless.
3. Disgruntled Dad
Who knew that Amanda Bynes' dad was on Craigslist.
2. Crack Commando Unit
Admittedly, all he did was paint a red line down the center of his crappy van. That doesn't mean we don't want it. This is one rockin' shaggin' wagon!
1. Rabid for Radiohead
The best part of this guy's desperate plea for a time machine is when he indicates that "no return trip is necessary." Touche.
