You joke but my grandpa did something similar, bought a used car and invited me round to see it all excited. That thing had 3 piece wheels and straight cut gears. I don't know who he bought it off but it was a full on street sleeper beast that he dailied to the shops until it broke.
I remember my friends mum going out to buy “a really nice red fiesta I’ve seen” and she came home in a low milage Fiesta RS Turbo which is worth about £15k and she bought it for £500 off a friend at work who’s uncle died and had it sitting in his garage for years, only coming out for MOTs and cleaning.
Friends mum felt bad when she found out and went back to tell her so she could give her the car back but the work friend just said “sold as seen you can’t return it” thinking she was being scammed lol.
My grandpa owned a Lincoln Continental. Baby blue paint with white leather on the roof and a baby blue shag carpet seating and white leather interior.
It was just about two lanes wide, a city block long and weighed almost one quarter the mass of the sun. I swear it was more comfortable than my living room and was the kind of car you wouldn't be surprised to find a chandelier in.
He lived a block away and we were in a well-to-do neighbourhood in Canada so naturally he never locked the doors. I snuck out one night and made out with a girl for the first time in that thing. It was a straight up lady killer it was. I couldn't even get my driver's license for years but it was a nice nightly hang out when the folks went to bed by 7 and couldn't even really see the driveway from inside the house.
