- basye, on 08/07/2008, -3/+143Have seen a few ads with a free car thrown in if you buy the house, but never one like this.
- WeaponAlpha, on 08/08/2008, -2/+117Probably better than the house.
- GemStar38, on 08/08/2008, -8/+108A sign of the times
- hellride66, on 08/08/2008, -1/+76who gives a ***** about the house...........does it come with a full tank of gas
- pradvan, on 08/08/2008, -2/+63i see what you did there
- openthink, on 08/07/2008, -6/+64It's a twist on the recent car commercials....Buy a car and we'll throw in the gas. Here, buy a car and I'll throw in my house. Take my house...please.
- curtisag, on 08/08/2008, -12/+59It's not that funny.
- konstructiv, on 08/08/2008, -1/+43But how much is the car? This reminds me of the 1980s trading laws that prevented B&Q (UK) from selling selling power tools on a Sunday, so they started selling apples and oranges for £200 a shot and throwing in items like an electric drill for free.
- InsaneMachine, on 08/08/2008, -2/+44oh it's your economy now. Now we know who to lynch. GET HIM!
- OasisR123, on 08/08/2008, -0/+32I have to ask, Why did they ban selling power tools on sunday?
- edwartica, on 08/08/2008, -0/+30Or maybe the house IS his car!
- dan0964, on 08/08/2008, -3/+30A few years ago, a mother and father decided they needed a break, so they wanted to head out for a night on the town. They called their most trusted babysitter. When the babysitter arrived, the two children were already fast asleep in bed. So the babysitter just got to sit around and make sure everything was okay with the children. Later that night, the babysitter got bored and went to watch TV, but she couldn't watch it downstairs because they did not have cable downstairs (the parents didn't want children watching too much garbage).
So, she called them and asked them if she could watch cable in the parent's room. Of course, the parents said it was ok, but the babysitter had one final request... she asked if she could cover up the virgin mary statue outside the bedroom window with a blanket or cloth, at the very least close the blinds, because it made her nervous. The phone line was silent for a moment, and the father who was talking to the babysitter at the time said, "Take the children and get out of the house... we will call the police. We do not have an virgin mary statue."
The police found all three of the house occupants dead within three minutes of the call. No virgin mary statue was ever found. - inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+22I know your house.
Trust me. She's no virgin. - imitokay, on 08/08/2008, -4/+25dugg for making me laugh at how bad my economy is
- blader1125, on 08/08/2008, -0/+20What you can't see is that he's asking $300k for the car...
- IphtashuFitz, on 08/08/2008, -5/+24Does the house come with a lien on it? If so then you'd have to pay me to take the car.
- louiebaur, on 08/08/2008, -3/+21They can take mine in a few years to if things dont turn around but I am stripping the damn place and taking the grass with me!
- zadadka, on 08/08/2008, -1/+18Free Wife, Kids and Mutt if you click Buy It Now !!!
* offer ends when wife sees this. - inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+16Not like Jesus was a carpenter or anything...
- ngmcs8203, on 08/08/2008, -0/+13There was a house in Saratoga, CA being sold for about 2.4 million (1/2 acre, with 5k sq. ft. home) but the price tag came with a 2002 Ferrari.
- cam0man, on 08/08/2008, -3/+16So? I bought a laptop a year ago and now it's worth about 30% of it's original value - if I financed it I could still be paying more than it's worth. But I realized that yes it's worth X amount and I can afford X amount either up front or in payments.
Don't buy ***** you can't afford. It really only becomes an issue if you were planning on using your house as your bank account, which you shouldn't assume.
It's called financial planning and nobody did it, it's their own fault and nobody else's. - cawpin, on 08/08/2008, -5/+17He at least could have been honest.
"I'm an idiot. Please take my house." - ZedoMann, on 08/08/2008, -0/+11dugg for making me laugh at how bad us economy is
- imitokay, on 08/08/2008, -1/+12I knew I should have bashed bush instead...
- curtisag, on 08/08/2008, -4/+14Not funny because it's just not funny. Doesn't matter if it's sad or fake.
- leerayIG88, on 08/08/2008, -0/+9Little bit of both?
- tavisjohn, on 08/08/2008, -0/+9After you make the purchase, put up a sign, "Will trade house for 1 full tank of gas."
Than someone will take a picture of your sign, and it will end up on Digg. - captmorgan555, on 08/08/2008, -0/+9I just bought a house and got a big screen tv and a statue of the virgin mary in the backyard... she scares me... She is watching me...
- ssavoy, on 08/08/2008, -0/+9On a trip to Virginia, I saw a sign near a nice development that said, "FREE CAR" and in small print it said "..with purchase of a home"
- zacharytelschow, on 08/08/2008, -0/+8No, the roof is. Its a fire sale.
- captmorgan555, on 08/08/2008, -0/+8@Dan... THANKS *****
- konstructiv, on 08/08/2008, -1/+8Sunday trading regulations were just very restrictive in the UK until the mid 1990s. Follow this Wiki link for more info:

- Mothh, on 08/08/2008, -0/+6How much is the car? $500,000?
- AndrewLeon, on 08/08/2008, -0/+6Virgin Mary Statue was in X-elent Condition! Fast Shipping! If writer was being mauled was being ravenous Koala, I would save them. A+!!!
- earlobe, on 08/08/2008, -0/+6heard a very similar story but only it was a laughing clown toy who ending up being a midget that was living in the attic on the run from the law or something. supposed true story
- OrangeTide, on 08/08/2008, -2/+8not funny because it's sad?
or not funny because it's fake? - lidor7, on 08/08/2008, -0/+6BOGO (Buy One Get One free) houses:

- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+5Have you ever considered that his mortgage may be upside down?
If you owe XXXXX and your house is reappraised at only 40% of that...
just a thought; heard this is happening "more and more" - 1Bad, on 08/08/2008, -1/+5Damn I feel sorry for that family in Saratoga. This madness must end! Selling their Ferrari 360 Modena just to get by is tragic. I hope they don't have to move to San Jose with all those poor people.
- DickyT83, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4Or rather, you buy a keyboard and get a computer for free.
- KiSA, on 08/09/2008, -1/+5joke: ruined, thank you
- burrgrinder, on 08/08/2008, -0/+4You have a big imagination if you think walking is a solution for everything. Me wearing business clothes, sometimes carrying a laptop and a few other valuables while on foot through the ghetto? No thanks hippy, even with $4/gal gas, it's worth my time and money to drive.
All it would take is one good-sized nasty oil-soaked road-grime filled rain puddle to soak me and my things to make driving for a year pay for itself. - icanrule, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3Now I'm stuck with a $200,000 K-Car and a house that ain't worth diddly.
- KingGorilla, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3I give him credit, he's a crafty consumer
- dpazar2, on 08/08/2008, -1/+4Easily just got a divorce...It's his car and the wife got the house. Smart man!!!
- ProfessorFoo, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3The market will defeat you, too.
- aserer511, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2hahah.
The best is the "For Sale" sign on HUGE SUVs, thinking people actually want them. -
