Author Topic: so...I bought a new SUV.. Paul Goulet Master Film Handler Posts: 347 From: Rhode Island Registered: Jan 2000 posted 04-06-2004 12:01 PM                        So I traded in my 1997 Ford Explorer for a new 2004 FORD ESCAPE..and the salesman is showing me the interior of the vehicle and then he pops the hood to show me the engine and other things under the hood..So he is showing me the engine..and I look at the firewall of the truck..and I said to the salesman..does that say what i think it says?? I took a picture today to show you what it says... The salesman said it must have come from the factory like that... someone must have been having a really bad day...  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Where's your full resolution file of that... I want to have it blown up.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 04-06-2004 02:58 PM                     Dont forget to include yourself in the picture so that we will know who the heck that SUV belongs to. Otherwise we will know you are lying.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-06-2004 04:56 PM                        It is well known that Fords assembled on Mondays (or any other day) are not reliable. I bet this one was assembled on a Monday by a very unhappy worker. It probably has ZERO reliability. Take it back now!  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-06-2004 05:03 PM                     If the photo is a fake, I would say "good job" to whoever Photoshopped it. University Roman is kind of an odd font choice for that phrase. Maybe the disgruntled labeler didn't have Trajan loaded onto his computer. After seeing "Call 1-800 GO PENIS" on the back of a Ryder truck, I think anything is possible for graphics vandalism.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

And, as my friends would tell you, I couldn't "Photoshop" anything if I wanted to! I'll take some more pictures and post them to convince everyone..OR if you are in the RHODE ISLAND area, stop by and I will show it to you! Maybe Bob Maar could stop by when he is in Newport for the weekend! Do I get a prize when I prove it is REAL??  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

With lots of fonts...  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-06-2004 09:43 PM                     Wait, you can take a picture of a label on your truck but you can't take a picture of you?  |  IP: Logged
