Boy, someone took a bath on this fake L78. $159, 500 with fees. Plus someone just emailed me a pic of the trim tag (not included in the auction pictures). See below. It is also fake. Real one posted below it for reference. SAD.

The bartenders in Kissimmee must be pouring the drinks pretty heavy this year...

I feel VERY fortunate to have the two cars I have...

Two quotes come to mind.
"There's a sucker born every minute"
"A fool and his money will soon be parted".
Yes, it is sad that someone neglected to verify what they were buying before hand. I wonder how long it will be before they are enlightened and the law suits start.

Sadly, nothing will be done about this by the auction house.
