This doesn’t even make sense to me. Hopefully the first person to take the owner up on the offer blows the motor and leaves them stranded without a paddle.

I don’t normally wish harm on people or vehicles (especially the cars) but this is such a tremendously obviously stupid idea that I want them to learn a lesson. If I were their insurance agent casually browsing the marketplace I’d immediately cancel their policy.

What could possibly go wrong? Some local guy keeps a blog of his used R8. The last post he had the engine out to rebuild the AC system and fix oil burning (valve stems?) and leaks. Cost like 15k. Before that he said service was average 5k/year so I guess not all that bad, all things considered.

Time was, the "butch" plastic wheel arches were reserved for the very macho Outback. Guess the WRX needed some manliness, too.
That was a WHOLE lot of sarcasm in there, just incase you didn't smell it.

Also, yeah, it's ugly.

I always set my minimum price to ~$800 to weed out awful dealerships and people who price listings in bad faith. I'm sure that this 2022 Prius Prime is actually $650, and it's not a misrepresented monthly payment to trick me into coming inside the dealership

"Ohio’s Scarlet Letter
As the restricted plates are yellow with red lettering, they have been referred to as “Ohio’s Scarlet Letter”. It would be worse if the letters were blue, as the plates would then have the colors of the University of Michigan.

I'm sure you already recognized this but in effect it leads to increased harassment by the police.

I'm sure their neighbors and people driving in traffic are more likely to call in suspicious behavior, etc

Looks like they assign the plate only after your second DUI in that state. I haven't checked in a long time but I think most states don't fully suspend your license for a long time unless you get 3 or more DUI so it wouldn't surprise me if there's a bunch of yellow plates in Ohio. In the winter you either drive or freeze to death walking home from the bar, probably. I've only been to that part of the world once (Chicago) was already getting cold in August

I haven't seen that shell outside of old van magazines. With the shell, it's a van turned into a truck turned back into a van

Kind of funny considering the dreamer was built for towing trailers.

About how long it'll take to get that Mazda diesel up to 60 MPH. Unless it's uphill, then it simply never will.
At least, given my experience driving one in 1987 - caveat: that one was obviously an earlier model, and a US model.

There was a post just last week in the stupid ai questions thread where some guy was asking about this exact model of Mazda pickup and why parts were so hard to find

Turns out it predates the ford-mazda combo truck thing

Good luck
