Jason in Delaware found this sign after it blew off of his neighbors car. Either the car was made in '96, or "98" is someone's rating, which might be pretty good, unless it's out of 500.
Interesting that the note appears to have been written on the other side of the paper originally (without the offending quotation marks), but that that effort was abandoned (possibly because of a misspelling of 'Honda', it's difficult to tell).
good call, thetelf. i'm sure the author of this sign was super pissed at himself when he screwed it up the first time - but not enough to break out a new sheet of paper:
"fuck it, i'll just start over on the back and no one will ever know that i left out the D the first time."
You guys really are confused. Haven't you ever seen the form Brian "Spasmo" Atkinson? Quotation marks are often used to indicate a nickname or truncation, and "98" is certainly a truncation of 1998. So what's the beef? Granted the "proper" form would be '98.
actually, lord balto, the quotations are there to indicate a nickname, NOT a truncation. Apostrophes are for that. Also, you clearly don't understand that this blog is about intentionally misinterpreting things.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Surprised it doesn't say 'in "good" condition'

If your car "rocks" I would suggest you get the suspension looked at ;-)
My "'93" Honda's still goin' strong.

And the author NEEDS an extra punctuation mark - an apostrophe: neighbor's car.
This is the funniest 'effin' blog I've seen in years.
Thank you.
