3. Maybe he went through a time slip like Rudolph Fenz did.

Just kidding. I am referring to the urban legend, and apocryphal story, of a one Rudolph Fenz who was said to have gone through a time slip in 1876 New York City and found himself in 1951 Times Square where he was struck fatally by a taxi. In the 1980s, the story was passed off as true. However, later research revealed it to have been lifted from a fiction work published years earlier.

If the tag was from 1997, I would guess the car was on its last legs rurallib Mar 2020 #4

Perhaps...but just because the tags expired in 1997 doesn't mean the car is junk. sdfernando Mar 2020 #5
