Well, it was a copyright gag, but Calvinated could take on a life ot its own!

I've attempted to copyright one other word: shants?. They are really long shorts on men that almost look like pants, and therefore, never should be worn. Shants?--what do you think?
I think that could be considered a public service! What do you call the black socks and sandals that you shouldn't wear with your shants??

You also own exclusive rights to the only Ferrari truck in existence. I miss seeing that truck. Bring her back once in a while.

Really? Oh, bummer. Has it been copyrighted or Calvinized yet? If not, it doesn't matter.

Caution - this seller has "0" ratings and no feedback!

Buyer beware even for a low priced M5!!

SMOKER ALERT!
"I never smoked in my car, so the interior smells brand new"
Uh-huh, that's what they all say. They think it doesn't stink, but they can't smell it CAUSE THEY SMOKE!

There's a few other interesting denials in the sales pitch.
Very strange way to try to sell a car, by listing what hasn't happened to it as selling points.

I am new here, so maybe someone can enlighten me regarding the negative attitude towards chromes?

Personally, I think a lot of chrome designs are pretty good looking.

I think that it's as simple an explanation as that many many E60.net members depise chrome, that is, they don't like the way it looks on E60s.
