Here's a new one for me: "I'm just looking to. Get rid of it. It runs and drives but it overheats after like 30 minutes or so so it will need to be Toad home."
Toad is randomly capitalized too. I should note that he used you're and they're properly.

Predictive text/thumb/finger error I reckon.

Not the Toad part though. Unless he was speaking, speech to text.
