Sorry - it's an "inside joke" referring to this thread:

OK I get it...

I will use my CSI connections to have the photo enhanced. I am sure between the reflections in the chrome and mirrors we will be able to get a very enhanced view of the interior and answer the question...

Whenever I see pictures like that I always think of the "drivers" out back (in the context of "losing" cars):

"Hey Joe, see that wagon over there? Yeah, the one way back in the corner....yeah, I need you to run it over to paint repair. Got it? Ok, then there's a Bonne over there I need you to bring back. Thanks..."



I may have mentioned this before, but the way the cars are parked is significant. A car pulled into the parking spot might mean one thing, whereas a car backed into a parking spot might mean something else. "Hood up" might mean "send this one to heavy repair". Where the "work ticket" (ie, the "repair ticket") was placed was also significant. It might be rolled up and placed in the door handle, or smashed in the vent window, stuck under the windshield wiper or closed in the door, each meaning that the car was to be sent to some other location ("light" repair, paint repair, shipping, etc).

God forbid that you pull the ticket out to look at it and then stick it back in the wrong spot...

Did you notice the traps on the verts in that pic?

RE the lost car issue. That happened a couple times at the dealer I worked at. The worst case was a Pariesienne wagon. Loaded car, Rosewood out and Dk Burgundy in Rally 2's no roof rack or woodgrain. Special ordered car [of course]. It was gone long enough the customer raised all sorts of hell and the boss dealer traded for a similar car 5 states away to keep them happy. The car showed up 6 MONTHS Later out of the blue. No explaination of where it was at since they couldn't find it in the first place. It sat on the lot for close to 6 months until a travelling salesman came in with a blown trannie and the lust for a wagon. While test driving he got pulled over as a courtesy to tell him the rr brake light was out. While repairing that I found out why the car had been "lost". It had a 1/4 hung over top of the damaged original one, both doors replaced and a partial rocker panel replaced.

Lost my ass, someone totalled that car while driving it to the storage area or dropped it off a truck.

I thought about buying that car as I really liked the look, It turned out I'm glad I didn't!
