misused discriptions that irritate or annoy you

I trade for other projects, not because I have a bad one, just because I save a lot of cars from the crusher that are perfectly fine but nobody wants it.

That's why you always look at a vehicle before passing judgement.

 

Fresh engine,,,,Ironic you always get burned.!

 

Not a miss used description, but a bad, one, I saw a 37 Chev online listed as a 36, I mentioned to the seller it's not a 36... and he replied that he checked and it's actually a 38...

 

Nothing to do with hot rods , but it drives me nuts when in a phone number people say the letter "O" in place of the number zero. On the other hand people use the word "zero" too much when they should be using the word "no". For example , "zero brains " vs "no brains". This post is beginning to seem stupid as I write it, but I'm going with it.

 

For sale " hard top" then you see a picture of a sedan.

 

Dont sedans have hard tops?
Somebody had to....

 

When they first came out cars without door post or B pillers the factory refered to them as a hard top convertible so cars without b pillers became hardtops cars with b pillers are sedans.

 

Could you mean elusive? Ron[/QUOTE]

Elusive is hard to find or catch, hiding.
Illusive is being based on illusion.

Notice the refference made by another as "needing a time machine" and "being impossible" both of those are illusory in nature or based on an illusion.

I see - present
I need to see - future
Wish I didn't see - implies past but future wish
I didn't see - past
I have seen- past
I have just seen - past but recent
Needs to be seen - future

Is it hard to find and catch, yep but its illusive.[/QUOTE]

"Great for your rat rod project!"
What does that even mean anymore

 

And "well the thing ran when we pulled it out"...

 

I see that on cars and parts that are normally well beyond logical use, like a door that has the bottom 2 feet rotted off...

Run when pulled, we only pulled it out of spite!

So are you alluding to something?

 

everything thats for sale is either a rat rod [mostly rusty junk with red wheels] or a barn find ,i have lived in the sticks my whole life----no way that there are that many barns left that are not being used for farm stuff

 

"jaw-dropping" or "jaw-droppingly" used with any description ... If I see it one more time I'm gonna spit up.

 

I hate the phrase "working woman". Everyone knows it's supposed to be "cooking woman" or "cleaning woman".

sheesh.........

 

All there! Only missing brakes, engine, transmission and trim!
Only thing worse are the yay area tards and their ads for their hyphy donks. Wit dat slap in da trunk!

 

Jaw dropper - this guy just saw one.
Yumm-yumm eat 'em up !

 

1955 DeSoto, NICE lo-miles! (HEMI & grille gone, 'cause I sold them on ePay).

Still make you a nice rat rod, custom or erosion-control project! Buy NOW! Won't last long at this price!

 

Not car related, but was at Kings Island several yrs ago. I overheard a guy telling his son " quit being an oxymoron" I wanted to slam my head into a wall for hearing that.

 

I hate when the seller says "Motivated seller ready to sell".....well I'd hope you're motivated if you're going to sell something.

 

ditto.
Yes and spelling lessons will help a great deal.

 

As mentioned before - these days the word "hardtop" seems to mean any vehicle with a metal roof. And anyone with a Custom 300 ford advertises it as a Fairlane.

 

hero

 

#1 " ready to paint"
#2 "rare"
#3 "restored"
#4 "hard work done"
#5 "original"

all a total joke!!!

 

" ............ And "well the thing ran when we pulled it out"........."..

So I parted out this 55 Desoto - before I did that I started it up, the hemi ran fine, then I pulled it.
Now I'm saving the engine for another project, but if I do ever decide to sell it, what do I say if I'm asked about it's condition?
Maybe "shit you wouldn't believe me if I told you so I ain't gonna tell you."




<!-- / message -->

 

saying Model A 5 window still makes you look like a goof ball. just like last year when I posted. I'll be back next year to post the same thing.

 

Probably covered here but the one that really bugs me is;

"Ran well when parked"

 

"Must sell, no lowballers"

 

Rare when a vehicle isn't rare I understand, but Rare is not always a joke, if a vehicle is only one of a few it's usually considered rare.

My balls are nearly half way up my body, hope that's not too low!

 

Probably here somewhere already, but I really hate
