They are 13 years old. That precludes "other districts" and these will go to one of the hordes of the uninitiated that think they're pretty and think they're perfect. Will buy one for under 8K. Will drive it home with visions of rolling hills and romantic sunsets dancing in their heads. Will start forming floor plans, erecting sticks, break a champagne bottle christening their launch.
And their first post in this forum will be:
Help. Getting 3 MPG....What can I do?
If not that the the Dream Machine will show up in the classifieds:. Fully converted Schoolie for sale. The pictures will be awesome the price tag staggering and the lack of fuel efficiency discreetly not mentioned.
The babbling trickle of Failure.
But we know don't we? This is the stench of nonconformity conforming. Gee. Don't you just love my new Sprinter?
