It really is just making fun of the misrepresentation. If it was being auctioned as a "recent respray, worn interior, needs some attention, leaks oil, good driver," with a reserve of about $2500, we wouldn't even have batted an eye. But <span style="font-style: italic">anyone</span> who calls that interior "impeccably maintained," is askin' for a sound beating.
If anyone <span style="font-style: italic">here </span>was trying to restore a Spridget to concours, and they posted pics with the hope of someone's sharp eyes finding an error, it would probably start a similar thread. We wouldn't bash someone's <span style="font-style: italic">driver </span>because the gauge bezels are rusty; but this eBayer was really overstating the quality of his (very very average) Spridget.
Fun exercise, tho'. :laugh:
