This actually explains a lot, seriously.
I think @Squatch is referring to the mottled effect of image compression - which, incidentally, @Wildman likely can't see on his phone's small display. Stick around for the next "WTF Talks" session where @Zorba will extol the many virtues of smartphone displays and the technology as a whole...
Anyway, compression is common on poorly produced human images and for some reason, very common on most of the Ai images I've seen.The devil is in the details, as they say, and it is for Ai images as well. Ai seems to have issues with the details at the moment. Badges, registration plates and tire sidewall lettering are typically distorted or garbled in some way (these are the easiest to find and the first place I look), though Ai is definitely improving here (as it's designed to
). Details such as those noted in @Squatch's post, things car guys and brand whores will see but the average "I want to get from here to there and don't give a shit how" people won't, that's the gold of Ai image forensics. 
Like a fungus?
Now all we need to do is lure @chili_pepper over to the dark side...
So, this snowball
I'll say this, the TJ Jeep is still a pretty damn good Jeep, in spite of Chrysler's best efforts to fuck it up. I say that in jest, kind of.
If we were, as @ColoJeep noted in previous post, doing it properly as car guys (in person with refreshing beverage of choice in hand, laughing, pointing, debating and gesturing like excited Italians pleading our cases), I'd love to walk you around Tess and point out all of the intentionally cut corners (many of which have the potential to lead to problems later on) that saved/made them a buttload of money. I'm not saying other manufacturers don't play the game, but there was a period with the pentastar, starting right about the time one Lee Iacocca entered the picture where it became remarkable. To be clear, I'm not blaming him, but they were forced to cut costs hard at that time and just never really stopped the process. I'm all for efficiency, but when it affects the end product, I tend to call the ball.
I feel like this says something about the effects of controlled substances on the human body, but I'm having a hard time deciding it the message is negative or positive...
Yeah...see remarks above regarding controlled substances.
(harvested from a herd of Naughas!).
You rang?
I'm with you, and the price didn't seem out of line based on the listing and photos, either. I suspect it might have made a really nice daily driver. Not surprisingly, it appears all three have been sold.
I understand completely, but that's the very reason I tend to go for the I-6 in the end.
Besides, you can go pretty damn quickly and kill yourself just as fast in something like this...and it's only a 4 pot! But what a way to go!He ain't lyin', this would appear to be true.

On the first two, they appear to have a flange that would indicate an insert, while the third one almost appears to have been molded in (ie: a "customized" addition). That would almost lead me to believe that they are initially produced as the fourth picture represents, but then get the hole stamped out for the addition of the filler neck insert.
