Sure Beats Chrysler's Free Gas Offer

Hey, why get free/cheap gas when buying a car when you could have something even better:

A car dealership in the United States is offering a free handgun with every vehicle sold.

Max Motors in Butler, Missouri, says sales have quadrupled since the start of the offer.

Customers can choose between a gun or a $250 (£125) gas card, but most so far have chosen the gun.
It's been a popular promotion, for the most part:
Mr Muller said that every buyer so far 'except one guy from Canada and one old guy' chose the gun, rather than the gas card.
You can almost here the suspicious/derogatory tone he uses when he said "guy from Canada," can't you?

I would rather have the gun too lol ... I guess from a monetary standpoint $250 is less than most guns cost. Besides, Chrysler is already on that gas- cash back promotion- which is BS by the way. Read the whole scoop at http://maxbottaro.campuscmo.com/chrysler-marketing-deceitful-and-genius/

I've been wondering if those gas promotions were any good.

"What a wonder is a gun, what a versatile invention! First of all when you've a gun .... everybody pays attention! Look at all that it can do, think of all that you'll become!"

Sorry, Charlie Guiteau moment ... well ... not literally ... more a Sondheimian interlude.

So what gives with the free gun? Is that so that you can project your gas from being siphoned? I recently watched "Who Killed The Electric Car?" and it really pissed me off. I've been trying to think of how to blog about it.
