All that site does is show you all cars on Ebay which currently have bids less than $1000. For example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=360005326363
Right now the bidding is at $1.00 but you are never going to win the auction for that much.

you might notice those are all links to ebay auctions, and the prices listed are the auction starting price. Key phrase of the day: "reserve price not met"

Then would it not be smart, not to assume things you don't know?

anything that is too easy is to be looked upon with suspicion.

At least get the South Park reference right. It's serial or cereal, not whatever crap you posted.
While using illustrative drawings and slurring speech similar to characters in Napoleon Dynamite, Al Gore uses the word "cereal" (or "serial") in place of "serious" in the episode, saying "I'm cereal!" rather than "I'm serious!". This is in reference to his gaffe on The Oprah Winfrey Show when he was asked about his favorite cereal, and his answer was "Oprah." He apparently mistook the word "cereal" for "serial," as in a work published or produced in installments, as are novels, films, or television series; and decided to pander to Oprah and her television and studio audience.[1]

If you had watched the episode then you would notice that Al Gore is lisping, so it's "therial".
Owned. :D

And that makes a lot more sense than the references I posted above? Sure it does.
