Default Look at this gem...

Hey guys,

I came across this while walking downtown in San Luis Obispo last weekend

Notice the "For sail" painted on the back window I figured (hope?) it was on purpose.

Anyway, thought you'd get a kick out of it.


Geoff

Someone did that to a chrome bumper car? I bet the jackass owner thinks it's real clever.
Someone needs to buy that abortion and un#u(kitup.

Someday someone will take that crap off and clean up the paint and get it back to semi-normal
Then the next guy will unknowingly tear into it and here on the forum there will be bubba-tales to no end....
WTF is that!?!, WTH was this?!?, Holes in the where?!!!?

We need a special section with "Someday someone will ask" cars

The paint can be removed from the chrome bumpers. We don't know what their condition was prior to painting, but that layer of tacky camo is probably actually protecting the chrome it until the next owner strips it to determine the real and preserved condition.

Hey, if it's "For Sail" ... I wonder how much? If the price is right, somebody should save that car!

That`s the only answer that makes any sence. The movie morons have destroyed more classic cars than crashes, crushers, drunks, and law makers combined!
