Uneducated Owner

Saw this ad on craigslist and it makes me wonder where ppl get this information from.

"This was the first generation of Toyota's partnership with Subaru to create this driving experience.
The original was and is still the best, the second generation from scion added a spoiler tacky, and Subaru's model the BRZ they put in a 6 cylinder boxer engine that review's stated "overpowered the handling, because of the cars light design".

original ad here ---> http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/4326353454.html

Someone can't really be that dumb. It's gotta be fake.

I would love to know where people come up with this stuff. i remember a video a few years back where a guy had mustang i believe with gtr badges and a lot of other nonsense. But he sounded like he truly believed everything he was saying about his car.
