(I think this should be posted in the H/O section)

I don't see anything "wrong", as this is clearly advertised as a clone. What are you driving at?

What's wrong ? What's right? But it is a clone or is it an ersatz clone.

1] mirrors
2] shifter and consol
3] engine
4] engine color
5] Air cleaner
6] I think we beat up this car before or was it The Rev's ?

Is that what you were refering to?

There are SO many things wrong with that car that the correct question would be what is RIGHT with it...but what stood out to me most of all was the fact that the front and rear plates don't match.

Oh, *that*!
That's no mistake. That was something that was covered in one of the PCIM bulletins that came out midyear. They found that if you mounted it that way, it created more upforce and you could increase the weight of what you could put in the trunk and it would also increase the maximum tongue weight for towing.

Gee, didn't know that now I will put a wing on my motorhome so I can tow the 48 easier.

Thanks for the tip
