Freudian slip?
Edited on Fri Dec-01-06 06:47 PM by Kutjara
I'm in the process of buying a car and have been using various Internet resources to get quotes from dealers before I launch myself into the unique hell that is negotiating with car salesmen. One of the email quotes I received today from my local Mazda dealer caught my eye:

<snip>

You qualify to buy any 2007 Mazda MAZDA3 4-Door that is in our inventory $500 over our factory invoice. Just print out the email and email me back to confirm that you received my offer. We are not far from Brea , hope to hear from you soon. Only you qualify for this offer and it is non transferrable, if the car is not for you let us know in your reply so we can make changes in our records. This offer expires december 15th@ 10 PM.

Support Out Troops!!

<snip>

Now, quite apart from the basic issue of why a guy who wants me to buy a car from him would think it appropriate to stick such a statement in a price inquiry, I'm wondering if "support out troops" is a typo, or if he really is a progressive who wants the military to abandon its "don't ask - don't tell" policy in favor of a more open and honest stance.

This is Orange County, though, so I suppose he could just be a Freep with poor spelling skills.

1. Who knows. But it would make a good bumpersticker!

2. My guess - being smack dab in the middle of reddish Orange County
is the freeper spelling skills.
