What is wrong with people?

My buddy is shopping for a new daily driver and sent me this link to get my opinion. Everything looked good until I noticed one thing that completely changed my verdict on the car. See if you can spot it

2002 BMW 325 Ci, $9,995 - Cars.com

That's hilarious. I see it and it completely changed my verdict as well.



It's a BMW.

I ignored it the first time I saw it... I mean, it didn't compute, so I figured it must be a smudge on the camera lens or something. Took a few looks to accept that it was really there.

At first I thought it said 22 until looked at it closer.
Maybe he has a Nissan Maxima with an "M" emblem on it too.

BMW GTR, must've been an old concept car. They could have just put some wood along the sides and called it a Chevy or a Chrysler.

It's also kinda shady that the link redirects through an affiliate marketing site before going to cars.com.

Seinfeld is gross. George's dad fell on top of Fusilli Jerry and it went right in. Luckily, the NY license plates "A**MAN" that Kramer accidentally picked up at the DMV actually belonged to a proctologist. We presume A**MAN saved the day.
