The Fritos are antiquated.
I thought the point of a 'Daytona kit' on a corvette was to make it look like a Ferrari Daytona, a la seasons one and two of Miami Vice, not to make it look like... whatever the hell that thing is. Looking into this, I stumbled across some wikipedia gold - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McBurnie . McBurnie is the company that manufactured the kit used for Miami Vice. The second paragraph of their wikipedia entry reads like most craigslist ads (my favorite part is in bold):

"McBurnie went on to manufafture the 34 lightning, the rsk550 and a porsche speedster replica company site is [www.thunderranch.com] and as a runner up on mr mcburnies tv fame he also produced the riot car as seen on baywatch currently produced by nathan wratislaw owner of montana muscle and classics company site is [www.nathanwratislaw.com] mr mcburnie is still making quality cars and at a affordable price. and with the riot partnered with sdsu made a electric riot car that has amazing hybrid tech into the car"

And an old insignificant car like this simply wouldn't exist.

There's a Festiva on my block that's rotting away like a dead raccoon on the side of the road. Unlike a raccoon, it occasionally collects parking tickets and is booted.

I'm tempted to think this is a troll, like the "welded diff" somebody posted before. If somebody knows enough about vacuum tubes to install and test them, they should be able to know that they need to have vacuum to work.
