Oh, oh, one of the dealers I worked at did that. Routinely had things like STIs listed as Imprezas, or Audi S4s listed as A4s.

It’s to get the idiot teenagers who go searching for asinine things for their first car, then start to realize what their budget can actually get them. You’re not hoping to steal sales from someone actually looking for exotics; You’re hoping to steal sales from someone who would never actually search for a Tempo on…

Annoyingly, the public keeps rewarding that though. One of my former coworkers used to do that, and his Craigslist ads that were the lowest-effort things I’d ever seen had three times the hits as mine that didn’t do the laundry list at the bottom, but were bespoke descriptions of each vehicle.

“I’ve got a fully loaded Focus SE.”

Eh, it’s far from a unique occurrence here. The community frequently votes down NP/CP (Or whatever the hell it is now), even when the valuation makes perfect sense. Hell, even on this one, I’d personally argue the valuation makes sense. Would I personally pay it? Nope. But that’s because I’m not a big Miata guy. But…

Dun dundun dunnn...

*Shrugs*

Which is all well and good - I agree that the owner is a psychopath who should be behind bars. That doesn’t change the fact I hold absolutely zero empathy for the thief. As you yourself wrote - he knew there was a chance his selfishness would get him killed and chose to be a douchebag anyways.

Where did you read that?

Trust me, I don’t intend to install knockoff MacOS Windows 11 after release either.

That 250 sounds like the most fun because of how wrong it is. I’m rooting for them.

Yes, I know it’s a patently worthless vehicle, but I also still kinda want it?

I’m pretty sure the Chevy Big Block is commonly used as a boat engine. Potentially more than it’s used as a car engine, to be honest.

What would make it not a fun boat, for reference? I don’t see anything that screams “ugh, hate that” to me on that front.

I am also a cheap ass, that’s why I switched to bikes. $6K Canadian bought me a manual transmission, naturally-aspirated analogue bike with a better power-to-weight ratio than a Dodge Hellcat.

Dude was inside the car though. No way in hell you’re getting to a safe distance if they’ve got a gun.

Yup. Put them to work in a jail where their time is worth $2 per hour. Have them work until the cost of their crime is paid for in its entirety - no leaving until it’s done. Owner can be reimbursed the cost of a new cat getting installed by the government, and they’d still likely have a bit of profit left over.

Make no mistake, the guy involved here is a psychopath - you’ll hear no arguments from me on that one. Binding someone and leaving them for dead is pretty noticeably the point where this went from “defense” to “excuse to kill someone”.

Well thank goodness everyone will always know that the guy actively robbing you is completely unarmed, otherwise it’d be a really stupid assumption to presume that. Especially in a country full of guns like the US.

Mm, yes, you’re right, my apologies. This poor innocent parasite! People should just leave him alone to take what he wants!
