First one needs to go on the hood. I don't care about the rest of the car, but metal burning-car space wizard needs to be on the hood of that car.

They need to fire their PR people. What a great opportunity gone to waste. Offer a couple bucks for it and prove that they live up to their name. Instead they sent a nasty letter that's gone viral.

Eh, once you do something like it just opens the floodgates and then everyone will be trying to sell their stupid fisher price cars to them. Though they could have offered to buy it, and others and donate them to charity.

However, no such thing as bad publicity. I didn't know this company existed beforehand. I wouldn't be surprised if they actually MADE money off the viral letter.

All they really had to do to fully win was not be dicks, and instead take it straight-faced and ask for vin / plate number / title / any legal identifier a real car has in order to complete the sale. Instead, they chose to be humorless and rude. And yeah, "no such thing as bad publicity"? Tell Ford to bring back the Pinto name and see how well it sells.

There's no insults there, just a couple well written paragraphs with punchlines.

If they just wrote "You're wasting our time. We have no interest in your item. Don't contact us again", THAT would by nasty and assholish. But it's a helluva lot different than what they actually wrote, given the context and tone of the words surrounding those things. Lighten up guys, sheesh. It's a funny letter.

What am I looking at? I see that there's the outline of a horse there, but is it made of water? And if so, where did the water come from?

So, it's less " know American history" and more "spent 6 years getting a worthless American History Degree". (serisouly, its such a minor, esoteric, bit of lore that is akin to knowing what Princess Di had for breakfest the day she died.)
