What an arsehole, eBay loser

What an arsehole. He has this item listed as "NO POWER warning sticker for Yaris FTO EK Civic Corolla" Did we have trouble with this guy before and report him to eBay?

I don't believe it's the same seller, but that seller is stupid. Why would someone want to buy something that degrades their car. Also, an FTO slow? I don't think 197 hp is slow at all.

The only thing that is slow is the seller.

you mean like a fart can, or a spoiler on a 100 hp car, or black rims that make it look like someone stole a cars hubcaps, or shift knobs that look like a disco ball, or painting parts of their dash, or lowering their yaris so low it scrapes every little bump......and the list could go on forever. i guess its all in the eyes of the beholder. its just for a little humor and its pretty small...far less offensive than many other things ive seen done.

Heh to each his own, I thought this was kinda funny, putting it on your own car could get a few laughs in a "I-know-my-shortcomings-and-aren't-afraid-to-agree" way...

But someone sticking this on some other person's random car, that would be mean...

Not cool dude...if you want to run stock, then thats fine by me, but dont put down what others are running on their cars, especially on this forum...

Having different likes/dislikes is what makes human beings different/unique, we can't all have the same likes as you...it would be a pretty boring ass world~

The CDC should worry about the pandemic of stupid that seems to be overrunning the populace these days. Scary.

No, I meant something that says your car is slow. Like Kioshi said, if you want to run stock, fine by me. Don't go around bashing how people mod their cars. I would find it more believable that people lower their Yaris or add a "fart can" than add a sticker that calls their car slow. Heck, I'd find it more believable that someone adds that same sticker, but the one that says "This car is equip with VVT-i..."

I thought the sticker was pretty funny. I don't see declaring that my car has no power is an insult to it or me. It's more of a realization... my car is an econobox, its primary function is to transport me to/from work
