It’s a meme that shows up on Reddit all the time, usually improperly by someone who has no concept of what life was like before the year 2000.

But then you’re going to have to interrupt your drive to stop and pee every 5 miles.

Ignore them.

Did you remember that VW once made two-door Jettas? Pepperidge Farm remembers

I’m a fan of the ones I get that rave on and on about how in-demand my car is and how they’ve been ORDERED to obtain 5 more of them for their used car lot this month, and they’re paying TOP DOLLAR etc etc etc. I once took my girlfriend’s car to the local Toyota dealer for warranty work (I work for a Chrysler dealer)…

That’s because high beams before passing in Germany mean “Achtung mein Herr, zere’s a fast-moving car approaching you from behind!” when in America it’s taken to mean “Look at this asshole!”

Most of those features are standard to a specific trim level and will automatically be assigned to the vehicle when the ad posts. I'm saying this from 8 years of experience in online vehicle marketing. What exactly do you think a dealership has to gain by purposely lying about the transmission?

Every dealer website I've ever seen has full disclaimers to prevent this. Also every third party listing site has it built right into their templates even if the dealer doesn't include a disclaimer.

Sometimes it's an isolated mistake. Other times it's a dealership just not giving a damn. There are shitty dealerships of all price classes.

Yep. The office staff that puts it in stock goes by what's written on the file for the car. Some of the mistakes are understandable, like calling it black instead of dark blue. Some of the mistakes are completely weird. For example I had a silver car stocked in as brown last month.

I work in online operations for a dealership group and can tell you exactly why (long explanation ahead).

The key is the water. Water doesn’t compress like air does, and all that force has to go somewhere. Throwing one of them into an empty soda can does nothing. Throwing one into a soda can full of water blows the can to pieces.

The underwater ones are fun. Spent some time one Fourth drunk by a pond and we kept throwing them in. You’d see a flash under the water and hear a muffled “thump” noise when they exploded.

Wear a suit? To think I’ve been doing it wrong all these years.

I wrote a story about my experience selling cars during Cash for Clunkers, if anyone’s interested.

You are indeed correct sir.
