Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did—well, really—what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Do you find yourself bored with life? Is there no excitement in your day to day existence? Do you long for the days when our leaders were more trustworthy than our cars? Ready to live on the edge? (I think you are).

2005 Mazda 3 with the super manly, gutsy and powerful 2.3 motor (not the wimpy 2.0 better suited for milquetoasts and people who cry watching "This is Us" on TV). Have you ever imagined yourself rowing into battle on a Spanish Galleon? Well brother, live out that dream as you row your own (gears). Show the world your a boss by driving a manual transmission. All the girls will want you, and all the guys will want to be you. Seriously, it's a dying art. You can leave your car unlocked with the keys in it, and no one will steal it, because most people are too stupid to master the skills needed to drive stick. But don't leave it unlocked too long, because this care is SUPER easy to learn how to drive a manual on. (That's a manuel transmission for all you idiot CL sellers who can't tell the difference between the writer of the hit musical Hamilton, and something done by hand, rather than automatically). You know who else probably drives a stick? The American hero and true man's man, astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Even at 85 years old he punches out people who question the truth of the moon landing. Be reminded of his example as you gaze through the fully functional moon roof on this car. (you like that segue?). Everything works on this car, and the air blows the obligatory "ice cold".
So why is this car only $1,000? That's where this whole "living on the edge" narrative comes in. The engine started knocking one day, and upon checking the oil, it was too low to register on the dipstick. Don't know where that oil went, because it didn't leak out and drip on the driveway, it didn't burn up as smoke, and it has not contaminated the coolant. A real man would ponder this mystery and decide to get to the bottom of it (by buying this car). Car still drives with no apparent loss of power, but like the narrator of The Raven, reacting to the tapping, tapping at his parlor door, you too may be "Thrilled, and filled with fantastic terrors never felt before". (Quoth the Raven "Nevermore"). Did you get that Poe reference? Then your just the kind of person I want to buy this car. Seriously, I'm not sure if/when that knocking will become catastrophic. As Dirty Harry said, "do you feel lucky punk?".


As you ponder if you're worthy of this car, allow me to inspire you with the words of Dylan Thomas: "Rage, Rage against the dying of the light...Do not go gentle into that good night"
Man, if that doesn't get you hyped up to buy this car, you must be dead inside.
