I strolled into a local classic Mustang emporium yesterday just for fun. Although it shall remain nameless, there is a famous house in Las Vegas of the same name where people also get screwed. Apparently the term is used so loosely these days that a cheap black paint job and gold stripes qualify as a Hertz "clone." This thing was a 6 cylinder 3 speed fastback with styled steel HUBCAPS no less that they were passing off as a Shelby facsimile. The topper was the "$18,000 firm" sticker on the window. Are there actually people gullible enough to believe that that is a valuable car?

 

Seem to be alot of clowns out there.

 

Me thinks the chicken layed an egg on the ranch.

Anyone remeber all the plain silver 67's with black stripes being called Elewhor's like 2 months after the move came out? There is a buyer for every car I guess.

 

That doesn't sound like a clone or a clown. The word I'd use is "crap."
