QUESTION:Dwayne Lane Dodge (also a Chrysler dealer) in Everett, WA is running a
misleading promotion to lure
unsuspecting prospects onto their sales floor. You receive a scratch card
with four chances to win. The games are labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4. When you
scratch off the covering, it looks like you have won game four. The
accompanying flier says that you could win four different items enumerated
by Roman numerals. Number IV is $10,000.00.
When you get to the dealership it is explained to you that winning game four
actually gets you a cheesy trip to Las Vegas. When you complain that you
thought that you had won $10,000, the salesman says, "Yes, that is kind of
misleading, but those numbers," (he points to the scratch ticket), " are
Arabic, and those numbers," (pointing to the flier) "are Roman. Yeah, it
sucks and we have filed a complaint because we don't do business that way."
Sorry pal, but you ARE doing business that way.
And it sucks.

ANSWER: I would never think a car dealer ('specially) selling new ones
would ever resort to trying to fool us plain folk.
What in the world can happen next? A man on the moon, or having a baby
without having sex?
Do you think that my voting (for the first time) had something to do with
that?
Time to milk the cow and put coal in the furnace
