Today’s theme was sparked by an auction of an illuminated PORSCHE sign. I was going to go look for other car make signs to fit into the other 2 categories, but unfortunately that auction was about to be over, so I did the next best thing, or so I think, of cars with something painted on their sides.

The distinctive interior triggered a memory. This car last sold on BaT in May 2020 and I had used it then as my Daily when I was doing Track, Daily, Crush instead of SORT.	The first word in the the title’s listing is modified, one look at the header image of this vehicle you can clearly see it aint stock.	If you limo tint all the back windows you could sleep back there and instead of Overlanding you would be using it to do Overhighwaying.

Due to the default width of my browser, when I browse through the car auctions, I see the listings in three columns. This layout reminds me of the classic three-window slot machines in Las Vegas. Today, I decided to select my cars based on the first row that had a car from each category. However, due to the dynamic nature of auctions, they were no longer aligned in the same row upon my last check. Nevertheless, I captured a screenshot of my ‘jackpot’ as evidence.
