Default Skyline honesty
Not sure where to plonk this post so I figure in here would be a good start. Came across this from another forum I frequent where someone had managed to find a classified selling a nissan skyline. Must commend him for his efforts in being honest and just wanting to sell the car eh?

Young guy with a crappy example of a "hero car" that he bought, probably due to emotion and peer pressure, but can't afford to maintain it and after buying it realised that it is nowhere near as wonderful as he thought it would be but of course would never admit that due to peer pressure and just wants out.

Lucky that never happens here..........
