I can just hear the owners reasoning for this now:
"The Cherokee is very rusty all over,I am not going to spend good money repairing something that will be not inspectable in a year or so.I did this only so I could get it inspected.I am not a mechanic or bodyman,and I frankly don't care what it looks like.It runs,its paid for,and if you want to make fun of it go ahead....its serving me just fine AS-IS"
I have heard it a million times.
