    My Stomach Hurts Looking at This Car

    3000gt vr4

    I know the guy who owned this two-owners ago, it was a nice car that only needed paint due to some clearcoat problems. It was up for sale about 4 months ago and he almost bought it back, then let it slip. Now this.

    Look closely at the photos and you'll see a couple of gems. He added some gauge from auto-zone with the chrome half-circle-surround up near the a-pillar but didn't hide any wires, giant tach on the dash, missing hood blisters, etc etc.

    I mean, I get the whole "it's your car, do what you want" but you've got to show some respect for cars like this. $4500 is about right for a good-condition 1st-gen VR4, not something like this.

    Ranked No. #1 in initial quality

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    Is it a requirement that you can't speak English if you're going to use craigslist? The green interior is hilarious.

    Man, I guess. I mean, a little punctuation would go a long way toward lending credibility to something like this. Based on the ad alone, even with no photos, I wouldn't have called this kid on this car.

    Just noticed the tach is zip-tied to the dash.

    Yikes, that 5" monster tach looks horribly out of place & those green, spray-bombed accents throughout the interior are absolutely hideous!!

    With any luck, someone who appreciates the car for what it is ends up with it & fixes all of the blasphemies this dude did to it.
