Congratulations Celtics!

The T REX

It takes something very unique to get a buzz going around The WANT AD office. We have seen all kinds of unique vehicles sold through our publications and thewantad.com, high end sports cars like Ferraris, Vipers and Lamborghinis, 6 wheeled ATVs that float, custom chopper motorcycles and trikes, dune buggies, you name it. But recently one of our sales reps had the pleasure of going for a ride in the Campagna T Rex. (Click the image below for a full size photo.)

This thing is the street legal cross between a dragster motorcycle and a go-kart, with a top speed of 180 mph and very little between you and the blurred road beneath you. My first questions – Where can I buy it and how much? The answers… well you will have to wait for next week’s issue of Powered. You wont miss it, the T Rex is on the cover!

Record Breaking Heat

It was a snowy winter and it looks like its going to be a hot summer. Today we broke a Boston record of 96 degrees! I know at this time last year I was scrambling for an AC unit to stick in the window of my inferno/aparment. I went to a couple stores but they were very expensive. Luckily The WANT AD has an entire section of AC units and I got a great one cheap!

People are always moving, from apartment to apartment to condo to house to houseboat, wherever, and they don't always need to bring their used-for-a-few-seasons AC unit. So it goes into The WANT AD!

There are a bunch of 6,000 BTU units good for cooling your apartment. Theres even a 100,000 BTU unit that could probably turn your home into a skating rink. The choice is yours.

One of the nice things about the way things are here at The WANT AD is that we have a lot of customers we work with every week. It's not just a name on a screen, it's "Kevin from Orange" and we know exactly who it is. It's nice to have that continuity of knowing you'll be talking to certain people on certain days (and yes, if someone goes missing, we do get concerned. Fortunately, it's almost always that they went on vacation.)

However, some advertisers have moved beyond this. The perfect example of this is Rick from Silhouette Motors in Brockton. If you take a look at the pictures of the cars he's advertising, you'll pretty quickly see why. It's not often that the advertiser appears in the ads. Rick has adorned many desktops on the computers here at The WANT AD. We've put up framed photos, created works of art, and decorated people's desks with his pictures. We also might have created a wallpaper border out of his ads to put up in a manager's office, and there might be a Rick bobblehead (complete with cigarette) somewhere in the offices here.




Thanks to folks like Rick, we know that you can always find something interesting in our books.
