A sign from the online classified gods?

What do you make of it when someone posts an actual photo of your own actual car in their "car wanted" ad?





That's my photo. I took it almost 14 years ago at the seller's house just before I bought the car - it's the Metro my buddy and I made into the electric ForkenSwift.

They must have done a quick image search for a Firefly/Metro/Swift pic to use and grabbed it from my build thread or website.

Weird!


I still have the shell of that car too. I contacted the buyer to see if he wanted the drivetrain from the Metro or convertible, and then I noticed he said he wants an automatic. Oops.
