Question & Answer Answered On
Q: Rob - With all due respect, this is the worst-looking Vette I've ever seen on EBay - or anywhere else, for that matter. Sir - you are a crazy man. Bedbug-crazy -- Raving Lunatic Under A Full Moon Crazy. There must be other expletives to use, but I can't think of them right now, so I apologize for my lapse in adjectives. I'm going to do you a favor and post your ad on Corvette Forum. It's a matter of academic curiosity... an experiment to see if there is anyone else on the planet more crazy than thou. Maybe you are on the fore-front of a new trend here? If so, I think I will just kill myself now... I can't bear to watch anymore. You are a highly rated E-Bayer. You look like a good guy, so I hope you have a chance at recovery. Please see your analyst soon. I dare you to post this with your ad. Sep-24-16

A: Thank you?!

Well, if the car is in good mechanical shape, the interior is nice, and the car can be bought for a good price, the paint can be fixed to something more pleasing.

It would have to be a really good price though.

It's a wrap. A black car is under it. It certainly gets attention.

Can't be all bad. At least you don't have to wash and wax it.

I personally wouldn't wrap my car like that, but I'm sure it gets lots of attention which is probably the purpose of the wrap.

It certainly takes "do you think it will rain?" Issues out of the equation.

The answer cracked me up. It solidifies what the guy in the question wrote about the seller.

Some cars on here completely overdone with 22"+ wheels and chrome all over it.

At least this is a wrap - could be easily removed and you'd never know.
