I sat at the light

with my mouth open in disbelief.

I pull up behind a Ford Escape and Fas . While looking at the back of the Escape I noticed a temp registration in the window with a expired date of 09-09-09. Then I noticed the licence plate frame.

Obviously the owner had just bought the vehicle with in the last week to ten days. The temporary registration in the back window is only valid for 90 days.

There is no way the owner knew what the licence plate frame said or it would have been gone in an instant.

Across the top it said Guaranteed -412-882-XXXX- Financing.

Across the bottom it said Pittsburgh Auto Depot.

Nothing to get upset with on those two points right?

Now down both sides vertically is this.

Does Your Credit Suck.

The owner probably has fine credit and had no problem buying the car or financing it Yet here is a license plate frame suggesting the owner of the vehicle may not have a sterling credit record.

Re: I sat at the light

I guess the new owner didn't do a thorough walk-around before driving off the lot. Or maybe his credit did suck.

Maybe he owns the sleazy credit relief company being advertised.

Re: I sat at the light

Some people just don't pay attention at all, or else it just doesn't register what kind of statement it radiates. I have to admit that it would take me a day or two to notice that myself, although by then I'd have taken the license plate frame off because I don't let ads on my car.
