This ad will crash and burn

I've had a few cars in my day, and there comes a time when you have to ask yourself if you should keep pumping money into a car that's always in need of repair, or whether to simply sell it for scrap metal. At least, that's what someone with no imagination would think about. If you're like Will Stuckenberg of Missouri, however, you do something even better. Rather than simply selling the car, you offer advertising space on your vehicle via eBay. Big deal, you say? Well, he's also going to be pushing his 1997 Dodge Neon off a 150-foot cliff. I just hope he adds something to the car to make sure it explodes on impact. The highest bidder will receive a video of the crash, and some before and after photos. These will also be posted on the internet. The auction, which as of this writing is up to $860, can be seen here.
