gaw, i'm an idiot.  it looked like a solo / cowl seat... but upon actually looking at the picture, it's just a vent on the house in the background.

can this be deleted?

Just think of the false advertising perpetrated on the buying public.
I was looking at this car this Idiot girl was selling on craigslist. Freaking thing had no oil on the dipstick, and she says we can put some in, and when she brought a weird looking unlabelled bottle of oil in, I was thinking gosh this one is a moron, she proceeded to add it via the dipstick hole. Then I checked and it was great ...  :cookoo: ... she was so covering up sheite about that car, and she claimed she had a lot of calls. I didn't buy it cos she didn't like my $, and she said other people are comming later to see it. Today its still parked there. i'd just say, you need to average 2-3 serious lookers before a sale. Else you have a false advertising thing going on. This is probably just accidental false advertising.
Cool.
Buddha.

LOL! Reminds me of the time I went bicycle shopping with my dad (brilliant engineer, BTW) and he was looking to buy an old POS bicycle from a pawn shop and use the front fork on his project bike. He was pressing up and down on this fork, grinning, exclaiming that he had found a winner. Then I pointed out that the fork wasn't compressing, but the front tire was really low on air and squishing into the pavement. We don't talk about that anymore.
