A bikini clad female draped all over a car that's for sale?  I don't get it. Surely the seller can't for one minute seriously believe it will help sell his car.

It shows that if you buy a Charger you will obviously get laid by girls as good looking as said model.




Or you will be too busy restoring and/or driving said car to even care!  :D

To tell you the truth, it gets me to look at cars I wouldn't even click on otherwise, but they're silly if they think I'm going to do anything other than look at the girl and click on to the next car.   In fact, if it's a car I do want to look at, the girl becomes a distraction and it works in reverse.   But it will be a sad world indeed when bikini-clad women no longer pose with classic cars.   I don't want to live in a world like that.

That's what I mean, when I'm looking at a car, I'm interested in the car, nothing else.  Horses for courses!

Of course you do...........if it's your only option.
And anyway, there's always music videos..........they can keep you entertained for hours.

Restoring a charger is like a saying I heard along time ago "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it".... Jesus I wish I could remember who said that...

What's the logic behind pricing something at $99.95 instead of $100?  Nobody really thinks they are spending less than $100 with that price.


The reason is the slight subconscious effect.  It's there even when you consciously see through the ruse.

As if 5 cents is going to save the day.  But it looks like you're only paying somewhere in the nineties for it instead of one hundred. It definitely is only psychological.

On the other hand, if you buy 100 units.........you come away with quite a savings!  :smilielol:

I agree as well that femine beauty can be a distraction to those interested in the car, but it helps attract more attention to the car. But, it does double your viewing pleasure.  :drool5: As far as watching music vids, hit the mute button, it helps.

That is to appeal more to the penny pinchers and the cheapskates.  These people go overboard on this stuff.  They will drive all the way across town or to another city just to save a few pennies.  What they don't realize is, it's cheaper to do one stop shopping then it is to jump from store to store.  Just pick the store with the best bargains as your main store. The only time you need to go to another store is if you can't buy something somewhere else.  In that case, then pick out your bargains from each store.

Fred

I think it's kind of weird when you hand over $100.00, hold out your hand for the change and they place .5 cents in it.  It just seems lost in the palm of your hand and you're wondering what to do with it.

If she's sitting or standing on the car I go on to the next car. I wouldn't consider buying a car that has someone standing or sitting on the hood or any other exterior part of the car.

And as far as the girls go, I've been married 3 times and screwed by the best so it's nothing new to me, plus at this point in my life I think I appreciate the car more.   :apimp:

Boobs are to cars what "tactical" is to guns....sure sellers.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Not for me..........I don't even think they compliment each other.  :rotz:

Perhaps the public has been alerted to the "need" for some fresh Chicks on Chargers pics since the same ones seem to keep getting used over and over in that thread.

Same "Logic" is behind "426 HEMI Wiper Blades" on Evil-Bay.....I got you to look at what is being sold......
