Did anyone notice that the paint codes weren't exactly Nissan either??  OH
MY GOD!!  Call the FBI, CIA, and the White House!!!!  We have a serious
crime here!  And those rims are from an evil "Z" car...    This calls for a
lynching!!!!   And the non-original black dash... and the seats.. and the
steering wheel... and the 1500 grill...the missing jackhole covers... and
the missing 1600 emblems!!  Where is the humanity of it all???    The ID
plate is all ratty and matches up with the title, yet the engine number is
grossly misrepresented!   That just can't be!!!

Ok funs over...     If you jokers knew just how many "pieced together" cars
were really out there, you'd wet yourselfs calling the DMV in all the
states...  This was and is common practice for those of us who live East of
California... .    We are all so much luckier now to have access to the many
great venders, as you Westerners have had for years.    Get over your
hysteria already!

(and yes, I have a car that the numbers don't match...  am I next to be
lynched?)
