A question that has never failed to get me eyerolled at-

If they use whale penis leather, do you suppose it's still all veiny?

I think they actually just insert an entire whale penis in the car. Then they carve seats and stuff out of it on the inside. Then you drive from inside the penis.

Dear God. I want to buy it just to put it out of its misery.

I like the....er..uh......
Well the, um one part is nice.

QFT.

Although at it's current price, I'm sure some enterprising person would put it right again. Plus, it's in NJ and doesn't have rust.

"Custom" comes in all flavors.....

Reminds me of the old Carfax ads (back when they were good).."People do some strange things to cars."

Yeah, it's his car and he did what he liked with it..but I don't think he should have put a reserve on the auction. Wonder what it is..
