An example of idiocy in today’s world…

Wow…I don’t know how long these links are going to last, but I had to post something because these people are so stupid. This sort of relates back to my post on the EZ-Pass on the level of retardedness that occurs in today’s world.

Ok, so here’s the story. This past January, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 6.5 was stolen from one of the ProRally drivers out here near us in CA. I’m not sure on the details, Leon Styles did not mention on Special Stage where it was stolen from. I guess the car and trailer were “acquired” by this idiot who is listing the car and all spares on ebay. I’m not sure how he could not realize he was recieving stolen property as Kris points. And just a disclaimer, as Leon posts in Special Stage, do NOT bid on this car, as it is stolen property! Anyway, you must look closely at the ebay listing as it contains some *gems.* First, the seller lists the car as an automatic - now most people familiar with rally know most if not all rallycars are standards - and if you don’t, there’s a picture that the clutch can be seen very clearly in. (Er, why are there 3 pedals here???) Two of the photos have pictures of the guys’ faces. The seller has no idea what the car actually is… “I do know it is a Mitsubishi. Possibly a Lancer maybe even an Evo?” He also states he knows it has been raced, and has some upgrades done (but I don’t see the NOS anywhere!). :lol:

The best part is that he has the trailer and picture of it on ebay! The trailer has Leon Styles name, as well as John Dillon’s, Nick and Eric’s, their sponsors, and a bunch of websites. This info is *probably* also on the car, on the doors, which you can’t see in any of his pics. Hello, recieving stolen property! Why would someone leave all that info on the trailer??? If this person was smart at all, they’d at least go to their website and see what its all about. “Oh, ok, that’s definately a Lancer Evo…” because there’s a picture of THAT CAR on the “news” part of their website.

Anyway, at least things have worked out for Leon and he is getting his property back.
