Arrow What are some of the dumbest things guys say when they are selling their cars? (****)

I was driving today when it hit me (its raining like cats and dogs)...... people say some dumb-**** when they sell their trophy cars! Not that im not going to say that some people take very good care of their cars but, one thing that gets to me is when someone say "its never be driven in the rain". Thats such a fucken gay statement....... I mean come on, if you drive your car its going to get dirty and your going to have to wash it right Its the same **** the cars going to get water on it. If im missing something feel free to fill me in because I just dont get it! And while your at it (ripping me *** from some of you **** car lovers LOL ) List some other BS your hear from people *** they sell their cars.

Car has never been wrecked.

Carfax shows the seller is the first owner and has had a sufficient amount of front end body repairs.

Wish I had carfax when I bought the car

That would be the old '99 bird. They told me the rock chips on the hood were normal in these cars (which they are) But after a couple months of owning it 6" sections of paint were peeling off. Got it painted and became curious and checked the carfax. Some kind of front end accident happened. Damn lieing bastards.

Car still sits in the garage, awaiting its man o war block and all the other headaches that come along with making the upwards of 1k hp.........I will tell you this, when it runs again, it'll be fun as hell.........it just takes forever because everything is soo expensive and i'm the only one funding it..........

My favorite so far was a car I saw with a for sale sign that said "never been raced" as it was sitting in the staging lanes at HRP !

"never driven in rain" does make a difference. My black WS6 Formula was never driven in the rain until I bought it. It only had 9,900 sunny day miles on it. The car was up on a lift when I picked it up, and the underside was spotless. Just like a brand new car off the assembly line. All of the suspension pieces, etc... were spotless. Even the inner fenders, exhaust system, k-member, every nut and bolt...were spotless.

Washing a car gets it wet, but doesn't plaster the underside with dirty water marks and mud. Driving it in the rain does. That is what they mean by "never driven in rain".

I crack up when I read "Lady Owned". Everyone knows that most women don't maintain cars like an enthusiast would, and just put gas in them and go. If anything, I'd rather see "Enthusiast Owned".
