Vent on…

Drives me nuts how some people seem incapable of describing the used parts or cars they are selling as anything but “mint”.

Mint means brand new / never touched as in “that loonie just came out of the mint”. Unless the car is sitting at the dealer or the parts are on the “brand new parts shelf” it is not “mint”.

:wall:

Don’t even get me started on how ridiculous the use of “clean” has become.

…vent over. Thanks for reading. Out.

Or when people say a 15 year old car is rust free. I have only ever seen 1 240 that had NO rust on it. (applies to canadian cars only)
