It's called a spot delivery and despite being bad business it's perfectly legal. It can happen often with people who have limited or bad credit.

Chrysler used this interior color scheme a lot before the Fiat days. Ralph Gilles referred to it as “rat fur gray.”

It wasn't lies. It was just... bullshit.

That plus the FTC requires the dealer advertise a quantity available. They can give the number that they have or just post a stock number or VIN. The stock number or VIN implies there's only one which is enough to stay legal.

The law actually states within 30 days IIRC. I actually work in internet marketing for a dealer group and have researched this like crazy. Not that we used that as an excuse to advertise cars we don't have, we just wanted to make sure we were still legal if the car sold right after the ad went to print.

It's kind of a gray area. They have to at least try to sell the customer the advertised one before switching them. So if they jump right into selling the car on a locate from another dealer it's legit... but we all know if they ran the ad just to get attention they're going to try and switch the customer before they…

That's a classic definition of a bait and switch, unlike what many people think is a bait and switch. Though if they can furnish proof that the car was sold within the past 30 days it's legal, because sometimes someone does actually buy the car right after the ad gets sent to print. But for each dealer that has that…

The Chrysler PT Cruiser.

The Fox Body Mustang...

Jesus, that’s ugly. Could be good for road trips though.

Eh, accessing the timing components on an Audi is no big deal. You just have to remove a couple front end parts.

I remember seeing the first image on the wallpaper at every Subway through the 90’s and early 2000’s.

“Ithacus.” Picture an ICBM... launched from pretty much anywhere in the world, deploying to pretty much anywhere within minutes. Except this ICBM carries 1200 troops instead of a warhead. Fucking insanity.

Maglev is pretty crazy. Using magnets to lift a train above its track and also propel it along... and since there’s nothing actually touching, it can travel at ludicrous speed.

Pneumatic tube transports. You know those tubes with the little canisters at the bank drive-thru? Yeah, that scaled up to public transit size. Several experimental prototypes were built in the 19th century but it never really caught on.

In fact, 84% said they want to buy their car in person and women and young buyers are the most adamant about coming in to see, touch and experience the vehicle they have spent so much time researching and which they will spend many years owning.

Well, you know it's a Ford if you can get it in any color you want so long as it's black.

Don't remember exactly but if you google Staten Island boat graveyard you should be able to find pages that tell you. It's on the Arthur Kill.

Bingo.
