Angry Even dealerships don't know what it is....

I was looking through the advertisements in today's newspaper trying to find a good deal on a Honda Element when I saw an advertisement for a 7thgen.

Much to my dismay, look at what i saw..........

Some dealers are really stupid. I remmember when I was shopping for a car I would ask them some questions on HP or cosmetics and they would answer "oh.. this is not the car you have to special order that one" or like one that I bought my car from when I ask what the TQ was in the car "It has 127" Then I said I thougth that was the HP? He then said "Yes thats what so great about Honda they have match the hp and TQ" I started laughting and said so it only revs up to 5,252 rpms and the guy said no its up to 7,000.

Your car sucks then. I get 400-415 per tank and even then i only fill up with 11.5 gallons. I could go farther. I have intake and exhaust work on the car.

That typo is just pathetic, but that price is pretty good. Of course, you probably need a 720+ score to get that rate and that price, but still. And the 502 miles per tank thing is assuming you are actually getting 38mpg, and run the tank completely dry using 13.2 gallons. (38x13.2=501.6). I don't know about you, but I have NEVER put 13.2 gallons of gas in my car when I fill up, and I don't think I'd want to push it that far. So, basically, they're FULL OF CRAP!!!
