  apart from dissuading me from ever connecting a car i own to the internet, the article left me curious as to why the previous owner kept being such an asshole

  was it a repo or something?

  Wish this was written by a journalist who could ask themselves "what would the reader want to know?". A repoed car? A beef between buyer and seller? What was going on? The buyer apparently got the number of the seller - how did they not have that before? Did they buy this from a dealer? This article says "So I shot both of them a text message, as you can see below", but there are no texts below?

  I need an AI to speed-read articles for me and tell me if they're complete slop or not, jeez.

  Wtf are these articles lmao, you can just remove the previous owner, but I'm guessing they wanted the free supercharging which isnt transferrable?
