Has anyone ever considered going to meet some of these people to find out what the living gently caress is wrong with them?

How in hell do you have such a low IQ that you cannot spell check? Or perhaps, y'know, spend more than 30 seconds typing out an ad that could potentially get you money if you actually SPELT WURDS? What the gently caress kind of value system is this?

Choice snippets are: I bought this car from my 91 year old grandmother before she died about 4 years ago, "put a graphic stripe on the side of the car", This is a fully loaded 1988 Nissan stanza GXE with 75k original miles, Do not waste my time because there is not one car on the market that has been serviced and driven like this one that you can get in and drive for the next 5 years and take nothing out of your pocket to maintain it.
No one drives like grandma drove. <100 HP of fury can be yours today for only 3200 bucks!

Really, it's probably worth somewhat close to that. 2900 doesn't sound like sich a bad deal if it's in as good a shape as it looks.

In regards to the application of a NIN sticker to my Acura, and your refusal to test with a TOOL sticker, is it instead possible to apply a mildly crooked Insane Clown Posse sticker on the trunk lid, nearly covering the keyhole?

It is now apparent that you are clearly in over your head. It is a well known fact that most ICP stickers are counterfeit, and would quickly contaminate your deluxe Honda's teal paint job. Not only that, but we should be exclusively discussing window decal application - specifically expertly centered and levelled NIN's. If you are seriously considering these unorthodox testing methods, you may as well get your NIN slapped on at your local flea market concern.

I advise you to take a step back from all of this and gather your thoughts before you submit your next reply. I also implore you to consider who you are dealing with: a man with over 13 years of experience honing his craft.

Good day.

BONUS FACT: My NIN's are so precisely levelled and centered, that the United States Navy has reviewed my designs for their Nuclear Frigates - and not for aesthetic purposes, but fo navigational purposes.
