    "Restored", when referring to a car that has has a drive train swap (like a SBC into a Pontiac, Olds or Buick), color changes, aftermarket wheels, etc. To me, "restored" means "return to an as-built state", like it looks as it sat on the dealer's lot or in the show room, NOT modified!
     
  3. Sorry Carl I am hooked on phonics, but I will try and be more sensative to your needs in the future. ;)

    All original, when it's been restored, matching numbers...except for the engine, one owner, when they bought it from someone, and people who spell Camaro...Camero!

    This thread has been a very long annoying and irritating misuse of discriptions misused and mispelled in more ways than a few. Here's a better idea for an add.

    CAR FOR SALE.
     

  6. You misspelled "misspell"

    It should be "Car for Sell":D

    Ad is short for advertisement. Add is what you do when you increase the number of something by putting more of the same with it. I hate when people refer to an ad as an add... ;)

    this drives me nuts, and I see it in the magazines quite often, calling a newely built Hot Rod "Restored", I also see it in ads where the car is definitely not restored, it's just painted... or washed...



    1. one pony to be collectively shared by all HAMB members, we she name her Sammich, and she will belong to the HAMB effectively making her the HAMB Sammich.

    2. I'm not sure if I should be impressed or disturbed that you know that's a pony in my avatar.;)

    3. I'm sure grapes are fine, but if you take too long to feed them they might become raisins.

    4.
    leadfootloon gets the first pony ride!

    ...I love this thread! :D
     
  11. Yaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!! Pony ride!!!!!!!!!!! Should I bring my helmet:D? Old school is way over used cool term just getting over used.;)
     
  12. I hate it when they refer to an add as a subtract.

    I often confuse buy and by when I am typing as well as other words that sound the same to me. Some languages don't have as many words that sound the same but have different meanings as englich. What is that called they sound the same but mean something entirely different?

    When you figure that out, you then can begin to work on your issues of why you chose it . Lmao
     
  15. HAMB Sammich :D I love it! Or should I say... her?

    And I have a younger sister. Stepped on a few Little Ponies growing up... It's always good to know what you're stepping on, and consequently, swearing at. :)

    Clearly it's because LN7 NUT shares a similar distaste for raisins. :p

    Hey is it to, too or two or would it be tutu? Now there is a question for all you college graduates.

    Too many people tend to confuse the two. Especially while wearing a tutu. Or while copulating a sheep dressed as a horse eating grapes. Because raisins are just nasty. Throw them to the pedal-powered hippos... THEY'LL eat ANYTHING!

    Just remember; There are three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't.

    LOL, Ragtop has hit the point of exhaustion and delirium where everything is funny and nothing really matters. I've been sleeping minimally for the past few days and I think it's finally catching up. My head is in one of those places where a couple of beers could only make things funnier. I am spent, amigo.

    I saw an ad not too long ago that kept calling a Dodge Diesel a GM, I actually messaged the seller (a girl) and mentioned it's not a GM... but she assured me that General motors makes Chyrslers and Dodges... I guess I was wrong all this time.

    Who makes those Comeros again?


    I was dared by a HAMB friend, told him "If you do it, then I will too" and the SOB did it... LOL

    Also because I'm manly... :D

    ...Fuck raisins.

    It irritates and annoys the hell out of me when people who feel that are smarter than the rest can't even spell . Its "descriptions" NOT " discriptions".

  27. I came across a new one to me yesterday.
    Some Honda POS tuner car listing the modifications

    "car has been STANCED "

    Obviously pertains to suspension lowering and a particular wheel tire stagger.

    Made my skin crawl but I'm not sure why
     

  28. Yea most of 'em are mud boggers with slicks. And most of those wouldn't pull an old sick woman off a bed pan.
