    That's hilarious. He's selling wheels for a Mitsubishi Starion/Chrysler Conquest, which was a Japanese sports car in the mid-1980s (predecessor to the Mitsubishi 3000GT and Dodge Stealth). However, here are some of his keywords:

    - computer, notebook, laptop
    - F40, F355, 512TR
    - Cougar, Grand Marquis, Sable, Tracer
    - "leather bra"
    - "unorthodox"
    - several colors (yellow, red, etc.)
    - "for sale" and "wanted to buy"
    - most recent Isuzu model names
    - "navigation" and "navi"
    - the word "turbo" fully sixteen times

    I never really got the keyword thing. If I'm looking for wheels for an S2000, I'm not going to accept damaged 20-year-old Mitsubishi wheels as a substitute.

    Keyword spammers should be beaten. Once, just out of curiosity, I did a search on Bugatti in eBay Motors (long before the Veyron was released). I got 1 hit; a 1928ish "Huppmobile Bugatti Sedan". It was a Huppmobile in fairly sad shape. What really blew my mind is that the photos were obviously from two different cars and the bidding began at $40,000. I reported him for spamming and sent a message to the seller saying "$40,000? For that turd? You've got to be kidding! His response was "At $40,000, it's a turd of a bargain!" How bizarre.
