dear ad reader seeking same for wild discrete adventures

says campermobile in the very first line -
is that a new word to the advert?
maybe they dont follow the seo blogs at all
maybe they figure craigslist does all that stuff for you -
maybe they are an actual easy going lay back sort who believes  that most
people "reading " craigslist can see the photographs and this silly person
actually believes that pictures speak a thousand words -
i mean really he only says engine changed - not a word about what sort of
engine - who did it -  and what sort of relationship they have had in the
past with Scott or Darryl -
the advert poster may only be slightly anal attentive
regards
