I hear that good apolstry work is 'spensive.


And that gooder apolstry work is 'spensiver.

How do you like this 1955 Patrician for 40k, with "Extensive meticulous restoration completed . . . No details were overlooked."

I see overlooked details, what do I do now?

And how often do people respond positively to your constructive criticism, these days?
I did not even go into the small authenticity details. Just noticed things that should not be on a 40k "meticulous" restoration, such as them oversized worm clamps and a radiator hose sticker right under the clamp... Who would meticulously do something like that? I get it, the guy probably paid someone 40k to do it for him, but that's still quite some puffery, going on, border-lining false advertisement.

There is a blue 56 Lincoln for sale, somewhere, by a lady "selling for a friend". The description says "all original, nothing's been modified or restored", and the car is freshly re-painted with some custom pin striping, a modern generator is installed, and all sorts of other usual daily-driver mods. I messaged her, very politely, suggesting that she might want to revise the description; otherwise, it is a bit off-putting. No response, did not revise. Oh well, at least no one told me to do anything naughty

I can't think of another Patrician that sold anywhere near 40k.
