Dishonest adds on for sale cars. I once drove 100 miles to check out a model "A" and the add said "drive it home". It was a rusty old chassis with half the sheet metal, and an engine block with no accessories or even a head, with deeply rusted bores that had seen the elements for eons. It was a remote mountain drive and the end of 10 miles of dirt road. When I questioned his drive it home add, he acted insulted, went into a tirade, and told me to never come back. He added to that, he would refuse to sell me any anything.
