Favourite vehicle descriptions
Permalink  
 


Got to thinking about words and phrases I've seen over the years when someone is describing their vehicle , be it for sale or just in conversation .

My first experience was an ad , back in the 60's , for a 1956 Chevy 2 dr , described as " mint " and best offer . I was looking for my first car , so drove over to see it . Mind you the body was excellent ( I was too young  and foolish to know if there was any bondo ) but the interior looked like a bomb had gone off ...ripped to shreds . MINT ? I had something else in mind ....offered him $225 as I recall,  which was rejected . I ended up with a very nice '55 Chev 150 , 2 door for $475 ( first car )

MINT ???? I still chuckle over that description .

 

How about you guys ?

Dodge for Sale. Heat works. Just not at your feet. All year round, even when you'd rather have A/C. Comes with a roll of duct tape, you supply the dryer duct hose.

Ya..... I shake my head at that one. Rightly or wrongly  not  usually associated as a good thing with most guy's. But I know lots of people in general who don't even know how to open there hoodno.

You can see pretty quickly if it was maintained or not. I don't care what the ad say's. It what I see/hear when I go look/drive  it. 

My personal fave is needs TLC. Who the hell wants something they have to show "tender loving care"toconfuse

I want to have something I can drive the crap out of.....when/if need be. But that's just me.

2) " Highway Miles " ....what , you live on the highway ? .... 'course it's better than "field driven " I suppose .

The one add statement / description that I am always leary of,..and wonder if the seller is actually being a little Too Honest, ( in his own way ),...." WONT LAST LONG !! ",...One could take that a number of ways,...does he actually mean that the car won't last long advertised,..( now that he has advertised it ).....or,...that it is going to puke it's guts out all over the highway any time now, ?? Thats a scary one to try and decipher.

I'm wondering about one of the newer descriptions ..." rotisserie restoration " ....for me it brings to ,mind a couple of guys sitting beside the Barbie while chicken is spinning around the rotisserie as the guys slap a couple of gallons of bondo an their project . Maybe , maybe not . biggrinbiggrin

This car is too fast for me = can't afford the insurance or gas

small chip in windscreen = giant crack failed safety test and a new screen is a thousand bucks

never smoked in = by me in the last two weeks I've owned it

excellent mpg = according to the book

no knocks or rattles = when I turn up the stereo really loud

not for the feint hearted = I have never drive a fast car

quality German engineering = I can't afford to fix it

cam belt just replaced = 5 years ago by the previous owner

breaks my heart to sell it = I really need the cash asap!

Very fast, never raced. Well how do you know it's fast then. Or too afraid to blow it up.

The one I never figured out was lost storage or no room in driveway/garage. WTf? Is it sitting in a tree now? Lost storage? How do you loose storage ?
Why would someone who is paying rent faithfully say please remove your HOTROD in the winter. ??? How do you loose storage in the winter? No room in garage or driveway???
You decided all of a sudden after years of ownership that your cherish car is no longer worth a parking spot?
