I've always referred to it as the DPO
Dumb Previous Owner, Dreaded Previous Owner.
On a car I bought years ago, I found that the throttle cable retainer had broken off at the pedal end and the cable was being held on by a nice pair of Snap-On needle nose vise grips.
The vise grips were worth more than a replacement throttle cable
It was the definition of the moniker "It's only temporary, unless it works"
Car is long gone, but I still have the vise grips
King Solomon was the richest person who ever lived, I think he must've bought a pre-owned Jeep at some point and found some DPO "modifications"
Proverbs 14:12
There is a way
that seems right to a man, but its end
is the way of death.
