Everyone gets fricked at a dealership. I prefer to be fricked gently, some people like it rough

This seems like a dumb question... advertising, duh. I see it a lot more with realtors though.

Has anyone ever asked you to do this?



No, not for a car or a house. I wouldn't do it unless the salesman/realtor was a legit friend of mine.

I get that, but it takes some fricking balls to put the screws to someone and then ask them to help you do it to more people


Not everyone gets screwed when they purchase a vehicle.

I'm usually the one that asks the sales person to take a picture with me.

Same reason hunters pose holding up the head of the deer they bagged.

People who post albums of their recently purchased vehicle purchase make me cringe. Usually it’s someone who buys a used vehicles and has a caption like “end of an era for that Silverado but just upgraded to a Dodge Ram”. Poors on fb, I tell ya what.

Right, goes both ways, they want it to advertise, the person just got a new ride. they want everybody to know they got a new car.

I liken the folks who agree to the pics to the people who buy a yeti, turn around and buy a yeti sticker, and don’t realize they are paying yeti to advertise for them

You get a free sticker with just the tumbler, don't even need to buy the ice chest.

And I've never taken a picture. I usually don't even go to the dealership, they deliver it to my office

Before the days of social media some of them would take the picture and would get a calendar made with the picture of you in front of the car. Gay AF. I'm like dude I just bought a pickup it's not that big a deal.

All makes sense why dealerships provide the buyer packs of sausage... at least they acknowledge what they've done.
