Default Online vehicle ads

Are people simply (1) lazy beyond belief or (2) intentionally withholding information?
Even when an ad seems halfway decently written, at the very end they drop a bombshell: Salvage Title. Ask if you have any questions.
WTF? Of course I have questions. How can you stick "salvage title" into your ad with no additional information???
Honest to God, I get so frustrated (reading ads) that after a while I have to take a break!
I'm not being put under any pressure to return my friend's car (that he graciously offered to let me use), but still, I have an inner voice saying "Don't take advantage."

Here's another problem with car ads. Most people don't know the meaning of even the most basic automotive terms (nor do they take the time to learn).

Does this look like a "coupe" to you? It does to the person who wrote this ad! https://www.fac

That Facebook page is a disgrace to real car people everywhere. But fact is, we DO live in a borderline illiterate, under-informed culture.
You would be amazed at the resumes we get. I have come to the conclusion that a substantial percentage of the American people are over employed and over paid.

This is what happens when everyone gets a trophy and at the slightest sign of adversity they retreat to a 'safe place'. Just give them a can of Play Doh and it will all be good.
