Whenever I see the ‘financial mistake’ sticker on a car I instantly know enough about the person that I never want to meet the owner

When it’s done un ironically, it really loses its comedic effect.

It’s basically the same joke as the plate, but the plate tells the joke better.

What a thing to go broke on.

There’s also a 100% chance it’s still naturally aspirated and very slow.

What would be the best thing to apply it to ironically? A beater Rolls Royce? A bone stock but immaculate ‘84 Corolla LE sedan? An immaculate ‘85 Seville?
Probably that last one.

I was thinking like a newer Corolla or something along those lines. A basic commuter car that really isn’t a bad idea at all.

Something about tuners and oversharing personal information:

Nothing says taste like a 20k paintjob on a 30k car.

I was cruising back from the grocery store in the minivan, driving normally, when some bro in a modded 86 rips a WOT run next to me in second gear. It was probably the highest noise:speed ratio I had ever seen from a car.

“I said I wanted the plate to say PORN NOW! Next time I’m using the website to submit my request. I’ll probably just have it be my name, CLINT. ”

Hah - the highest I’ve ever seen was my buddy’s Suzuki Sidekick in high school. He drove that thing like he stole it all the time, granted it was super slow. Made lots of noise but never really went anywhere.

The highest I’ve ever seen would be a toss up between the riced out Toyota Echo that was trying to race people on the highway and my 01 Accent hatch pre motor swap.

The reason I was thinking Seville is that it’s more or less the cheapest Cadillac of all time (voiding the “overspent on a Cadillac” idea), is only “overspent” on relative to, say, a Celebrity. And, it’s old enough where in another brand it would maybe be a maintenance nightmare and money pit (the other prime target)... but is one of GM’s most reliable platforms ever and parts cost is approximately “redeem cereal boxtops” level cheap.
Combine that with being possible to buy more or less with pocket change itself: a
s far as I’m concerned, that’s checking nearly all the boxes.

You have never seen my Protege5 with the fart cannon. (I bought it like that).
To be fair, it was amazing fun to pin the throttle, slam shfits, rev it to redline in multiple gears.... and still not be breaking the speed limit.

Well, it’s probably just a $4k wrap job.

Well, he probably enjoyed it and he probably did it without much thought as to the minivan next to him .

I certainly hope so. I mean the guy has louvers on a modern car....

Not gonna lie... I want some. (But I might need a muscle car first...)
