Why is it.....

[Liquid Knight]

...when you see a car with a "For Sale" notice in a window it's usually being driven like an apsolute tool is behind the wheel?

There's a chap with a Ford Cougar for sale at work. V6, 24V, reasonably quick, reasonably good looking car £1,300 is about right but he drives it like a tw@ and I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

I've seen this with an Evo V.

For sale stickers in the window, bloke jumps in and rags the engine from cold.


Unless he nicked it..

That's a put off then

The ones that get me are, in the classifieds and they say 'massive spec to much to list'
so your selling your car and not going to tell the options on it

Yes, that is a for sale sign.

And you didn't write the number down and put it on a toilet wall somewhere?

Just call her up and say that the car is being towed away due to her selfish parking. Then get some popcorn and wait for them to arrive back.

Many many years ago me and few mates were at a well known nightclub that had a massive carpark that attracted a lot of boys racers. As described by the OP, one in particular, a very yellow Astra GTE, heavily modded, was obviously for sale, and being ragged something chronic. Wheelspins, handbrake turns, bouncing off the limited etc etc.

Didn't think much more about it until...

A week or so later a mate rocks up in a new car. Que an awful lot of sucking of teeth and general wincing as said mate goes on to explain that he bought it on a spur-of-the-moment impulse buy because he really liked the yellow colour.

So you're coming to the end of your ownership of the vehicle so drive it like you've found the end of your bell.

Typical Yeovil Tescos, often the seen of some truly awful parking/driving .

More annoying is that people put FOR SALE in huge letters and a tiny price. If the car just has a huge price in the window I can guess it is either for sale or a bloody expensive hire offer.

I was once told it was secret 'code' for the local boy racers. It would simply mean that they were looking for a race.

Or they put for example " FOR SALE, FORD FIESTA" when it's blatently obvious what car it is.
