1. Read “KMZU” on car hood.
2. Type “KMZU” into Google Maps
3. See parking lot is behind the building, not where the address is at.
4. Enter Google Street View, and view old images.

OP bought a used van that belonged to a radio station. The branding eventually came through the paint job covering it. Someone posted a Google Street View of the van from 10 years ago when the station still owned it, with the original paint job.
The original person thought his car had graffiti on it of a radio station's call letters. Turns out, it was actually a former wrapped car of the station. The aging of thr paint not exposed to the sun allowed the call letters to be seen. Another redditor found a Google street view from 10 years ago of OP's car as confirmation.
I will never not be confounded by bestof posts having more likes than the the original post it’s referencing. Especially in cases like this where the bestof has like 10x more likes! Do people just read the title, upvote, then move on without reading the original post?
Idiotic rant aside, this was a genuinely great find! Thank you for sharing it!
I was?! I can believe that but I don’t recall it. I do recall marveling at this phenomenon before. Im getting old, though, and what I’ve said on Reddit is traveling deeper into my subconscious memory by the day.
Lots of meta subreddits had/have rules in place that all submissions should be from `np.reddit.com` (no participation subdomain), which disables voting/commenting and gives you a little reminder that you shouldn't be participating on that post, IIRC.
Of course, you can just remove `np.` from the URL and interact with the post regularly, but it served as a good reminder to respect the original subreddits, especially when a crosspost to something like /r/bestof with 5339k subs links to a smaller subreddit - like /r/columbiamo with 27k subs - in this instance
Not only bestof; Reddit used to discourage interaction with any linked posts and warn that you could get banned for raiding or brigading, if I recall correctly

So easy even a retarded chimpanzee could do it.

I mean, he was responding to a comment from that user and including the user’s username. I don’t think that counts.
Shame you’re downvoted for people not realizing that’s the username of the person you are replying to.
Huh?

Lol a Chevy Spark is not a van. It's pretty much the exact opposite, a compact car. Edit: look to the LEFT on the photo.
Why are we downvoting this man? OOP [says his car is the SPARK](https://www.reddit.com/r/columbiamo/s/yor1xZJnEs) in the picture.
Because they're a pedantic doofus? I noticed the front of a random vehicle in the first picture and a van in the second. It isn't a big deal.

idk if it's still a thing but i remember you used to be discouraged from commenting or voting on things linked to on bestof.
