Can we ban carbartcar while we're at it too? @Joe Perez No one wants your shitty miata dude, stop bumping a thread that never should have existed in the first place.

Can we ban carbartcar while we're at it too? @Joe Perez
I've revised the poll at the top to determine carbartcar's fate instead. This is the second time he's bumped this thread in as many days. I deleted the first one, and now he's back.
Given that he just joined MT yesterday, and has now posted that same ebay link twice, and he's located in Connecticut, and the car in the listing is ALSO located in Connecticut, well... let's just say that this is one of the more creative ways I've seen someone try to work around our "newbs aren't allowed to list their shitboxes in the classifieds" rule. And I do award a little bit of respect for that.
According to the Autocheck, he's also only owned the vehicle for about six months, which is kind of sad. I'm guessing that he didn't realize how much that car was going to suck to drive when he bought it, and is now trying to unload his mistake onto someone else, while making it seem like he's just trying to be helpful and pretend that he "found" the ebay listing. And for that, I deduct the respect mentioned earlier.
Man, the more I type this, the further I'm leaning towards a permaban... I mean, I'd almost ban someone just for having a fake NOS bottle mounted to the A-pillar for decorative purposes...
Here are some of the photos from the eBay listing where he's trying to get rid of the mistake he bought in June of this year:
I, too, once painted a whole car with rattle-cans from Autozone. When I was in high school. It was a Beetle.
(WTF is up with that "roll cage"?)
I mean... at least it's clean under the hood. But this photo tells you where the other end of that "nitrous" hose isn't.

What does that mean? You've really aroused my curiosity here.
Which is funny, because just yesterday, while I was mixing non-prescription cold medication and whiskey, I was thinking about the nursery rhyme Simple Simon, which starts out:
Simple Simon met a pieman, going to the fair
And I got to thinking, what if that has been mis-translated over the years. What if the original 18th century version was more like "Simple Simon met a pie, man..."
As in, he met a pie. But what does that mean? Is "pie" a slang term for a person who displays some characteristic? Like saying that someone is a real hoopy frood?
And then that got me to thinking about how much we probably don't know about British slang in the 1700s.
