Dude, where’s my car – Long, Epic, Ongoing

Some manufacturers don't realize how creative people are with the pronunciation of things. I've seen classified ads in the paper for the Isuzu Ass-Ender (Ascender), the Ford MavWreck (Maverick), and the Ford Grenade (Granada).

Don't forget a couple more Fords - the Exploder (Explorer) and Grindstar (Windstar). Toyota sure picked a bad name (Sienna) for their minivan. Sienna is an "earth pigment" consisting of hydrated iron oxide - a.k.a. rust.

My vote is for Peach Schnapps with OJ over ice. Perfect summertime refresher.

Aka the Fuzzy Navel.

Interesting. Does it taste like ouzo?

I don't know what ouzo tastes like. The flavour most compare it to is cough medicine, and it has to be said, it *is* good at that sort of job too.

My personal favourite, which I made up myself, is British Telecom -> Twittish Smellycom.

Just because I can't resist quoting Futurama where appropriate.

I'll have a fuzzy navel and she'll have the girliest drink in the house

Two fuzzy navels coming up.

Licorice.

Which is what green <famous night time cough medicine> is flavored.

I love the Quil. But I hate licorice. Does that make me weird?

Monday Morning Update:

File is now with an external Lawyer to review our next steps.

Hang tight people - the blindfold is being prepared, the last meal cooked (I hope)

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Again, I'm not sharing.

[Jay 2K Winger]

Once again, this is me:

For what I believe is the first time in my life, I've been waiting anxiously for Monday just to tune into the next episode of this saga.

That gif pretty much describes me as well.

Ho.Le.Sh.It.

Mr Wheresmycar is in big big trouble now.

1) He's lied about the auction listings - he maintained from the start that it was his partner who did it, now we have black and white evidance that he was full of shit and was the one doing all of the changes
2) We have proof that, rather than Ms Whereshiscar being the one to list the vehicle at $9k, he was in (bank) building, on (bank) computer, logged into the auction account.
3) Told us that he didn't need money....he has over a mil in mortgages and a number of credit cards approaching $100k. This is along with missed payments, broken promises to pay and even a bounced check....right around the time the vehicle first was listed for sale

File goes to external lawyers tomorrow for their opinion....but the investigators closing line is my favorite: "There is clear evidence indicating fraud"

I've just deleted 4 posts making prison rape jokes. No more of those, folks.

While I'm at it, is it really necessary to post the exact same "I can't wait" GIF more than once in the same thread?

[Argabarga]

Maybe I missed it, but, did the investigators ever find out exactly where the car in question went to?

Thanks Dave

Nope. Mr Wheresmycar is still flat out denying he knows where it is - and that might be true. If his mate of a mate gave him some sneaky cash for it...

There is still the (increasingly unlikely) possibility that the car was legitimately stolen, and he is only guilty of trying to bullshit us about its value....which is still fraud, just inflation rather than outright deception. Inflation is seen as 'soft' fraud - crimes of opportunity, whereas outright deception is 'hard' fraud - preplanned, prepared, deliberate

[Deserted]

If it's "soft" fraud, what's the likely outcome? As opposed to "hard" fraud?
