Now if they could figure how to keep the blower on there it might be a nice path sweeper.

It likely would be worth $100 even as a heap, if it was complete. But, I don't see any wheels, or the rear cross piece and rear axle.

(Are there euphemisms in play here of which I am gratefully unaware?)

Though when that car in question is a freaking Acura NSX(!!!!) I'm gonna have to not agree...I love NSX's, even if my 6x (at least) cheaper Camaro Z28 is faster than the original 3.0L cars [in a straight line].

Yeah, but right now, the bike is moving at least 75x as fast as the car (because 75 * 0 = 0).

Univega Alpina 602 MTB - $175 (Eugene)
I think this one must be caught in an interdimensional rift. Two bikes for the price of one?

Hard to say. I don't think they are that interested in posing.
Likely they go out and take a couple of photos, come back in and say eww... that's good enough.
Usually when I take photos, I take several extras, just in case a few are bad. Then again, there are those that post all 20 photos, including several that are minutely different.
Spell checkers, of course, can do some of the oddest things.
Perhaps a little wacky helps make stuff stand out. But, just be careful, very few people are actively searching for Swan Bikes.
