[Silly Little Cars] Craigslist searching

[Alec Bennett]

Yeah I know, but I don't have much to lose. If they shut it down, I take the
webpage down and it'll have no effect on how I use it... Its kind of fun to
have out there, even in its unpromoted and somewhat unfinished state, I get
the occasional funny comment about it from the void. Bu t it'll certainly be
no sweat off my proverbial ass if I have to take it down.

After finishing it I found another Craigslist search tool that was charging
$50 for registration, I wonder if he's still out there.

In the meantime, I just added a bunch more cities to my search scope for
"Cushman", so I'll keep the list posted for the rest of the country.
