It does for me.

Not really desperate to change but i always like to look on piston heads and see whats going on.
So i see a nice motor and at the end it says P/X "show uz wat u got, mite do a deal on sumthin".

dont ever ever think of buying a car from an advertiser that uses txt talk in their adds.

you can tell what kind of a person they are... chavs that rag the shit out of the car and then advertise it as "mintst car evr"

I hate it and just sorts the tards from the sellers IMO. Not literate enough to type a for sale add fuck knows you won't of maintained the car properly....

totally agree.. You build up a picture of the car before you even see it, the wording and grammer of an advert really says alot about a car.

I wouldn't buy a car off of an idiot that speaks like that One of my old mates uses the word "ov" in text messages instead of "of" What the fuck is the point?

i personaly would definatly be put off, i think it tell you alot about a person and how they may treat the car.

but then again you could be misswing out on a real nice car just because the person types like a retard
