What a great concept! You see how easy it is and how close we all are to really striking it big? Just an easy idea away.

It was a great PR stunt, a 34 year old car with over 100,000 miles on it travels over 3000 miles with no problems.
Should have signed a deal with General Motors.

The fact that he didn’t mention a huge increase in affilliate sales leads me to believe that he had a bunch of looky loos and no buyers.
