This was going to be my question too. Didn't know they did this in the US--guess I learned something new today. As for the car, cringe-worthy. I think the front bumper paint chips got to me the most.

 

This is partially the reason why I don't want to sell my car locally if I ever sell it. I'm scared this may happen.

 

Way of the world gents. As the car becomes more affordable, more yahoos that are used to ricing out Honda's move to more expensive platforms.

Take comfort in the fact that he will probably offload it once he finds out how much a clutch job is or a transmission or tcase rebuild.

Thats what separates the true blue owners from the poseurs.

350Z guys have to deal with this, older Lexus body style owners, Audi guys............Its not really that bad to me. OEM IC, OEM wheels, faded Carbon fiber hoodand some sticker that means something to the owner.

'Meh'

 

Hardly any difference between before/after

 

Seriously. It has a massive sticker on the windshield and some paint chips. I'd hardly call it ruined or needing to be put out to pasture.

 

Actually No...

In some states, the registration (and plates) stay with the owner, and can be transferred to a new car. Florida is one of them. (Florida's registration times are linked to the owner's birth date. I personally see this as Florida's way of saying "F you" to you on your birthday)

In other states, the registration stays with the car, and can be transferred to the NEW owner. Arizona is an example of this.

 

Same here in Cali, unless its a custom plate we always get the old plates when we buy a used car.

 

Pa stays also. I've had the same plate for like 10 years now 3 different cars

 

Florida does not allow you to give your plate to someone

 

was the car a garage queen before you sold it? it just looks like a young kids' car who drives the hell out of it. these cars are meant to be driven, not kept showroom clean. in my opinion of course.

 

I'm still waiting to here OP's age.

 

That screams minor front-end collision to me.

 

It looks almost exactly the same, plus a minor front end collision. Don't think it looks any worse than before really.

 

Ozzy Motto Sticker = 50 whp, with a tune you can get 65.

 

ditto lol
