They told us the CJ was completely stripped, but we wanted to see it, anyway. It wasn't stripped, but it ran horribly. I thought maybe they changed the firing order, and sure enough, they did. Switched a couple of plug wires and it purred like a kitten. My brother's bid beat out the salvage yard by $100, according to the insurance company, and he got it.

A buddy bought an Chevy pickup at auction. He was amazed by the condition given the miles. On a hunch, he went through the menu that changed the display from km to miles and sure enough it was displaying km. He switched it back to km and won the bid.
