I was reading the description and thinking that isn't to wacky for a Miyata. Then the picture was worth a 1000 cuss words. With the first ones being WTF.

Pretty darn scary! I'm guessing it's a "houseless" guy that's been offered temporary housing in a motel or something. Yeah, a lot has changed in LA. I'm a moderate kinda guy and I'm fed up with it. Don't get me started...

If you shopped around for long enough, I'm almost sure you could find a better Schwinn World than this one for even less than $400.

I always liked Will Rogers's description of a governor as "something that is attached to a state to keep it from moving ahead too fast."
But that is one emasculate little crawler, all right.

It could just be the winning lottery ticket (or maybe not). Italics are mine.
