****NEW THREAD TITLE****
Phrases/adjectives you hate seeing when in the market for used cars / used car parts ****END NEW THREAD TITLE**** Does anyone else get sick of seeing this in high performance car / parts for sale threads? Do you really spend multiple of thousands on go-fast parts to not go-fast? I hope sure hope not. I understand that some really might baby their car. Two comments: 1) if you really do baby it, it better be stock. 2) leave it up to the purchaser to decide if it's been babied or not. There are obvious signs of abuse (ie. full car length bottom-out scrape on undercarriage shroud...means you were driving really fast, hit a huge bump, got lucky that you didn't wipe out, and subsequently scrapped the entire underside of the ride). Am I the only one?

LOL! I probably AVG 80. The one question I love answering:
Q: What kind of gas mileage do you get in that thing when you drive the speed limit? My answer: I wouldn't know...

For me I hate when people on Autotrader write things like "120 miles" instead of "120,000 miles" so that their cars appear at top of listings. I also hate people who don't list the mileage. People are going to find out eventually anyway that it's high mileage!

I understand what you trying to say, but people buy cars and never drive them, they just sit there.
I can imagine now, someone selling a very expensive painting, and the add says; "New painting, only been gazed on once by me."

Very true - but at the same time some things are meant to just 'sit there'. Other things, not so much. But hey, if you have enough money to buy expensive cars and just let them 'sit there', more power to you!
