They could just be cold calling and claiming that you clicked an ad online.
Alternatively, it could have been an ad from my site?
Speaking of which, it has been a while... You can visit linux-tips.us and give it a couple of clicks if you'd like.
The tires on the truck are laughable for Maine winters. They're pretty new tires, but they're not very good for this type of weather. You can see 'em in some of the pics on the Mecum page.
I really, really should swap them out. It's just asking for trouble leaving them on, especially with no weight in the back.
They look like decent all season radials, nothing that you would want in deep snow.
The guy on the phone said I requested a black one with custom painted flames on it, so I don't believe that was a cold call. it looks like a fun go cart but I ain't buying one of those today
It does look like fun and that's pretty much exactly what I'd say if I were cold calling.
I'd say, "Hey, sorry it took so long to get back to you. You clicked an ad asking for more information from <company_name>. My name's David and according to our records you were interested in ordering a black car with a custom flame paint job. Do you have a delivery date you're aiming for?"
Never give 'em a reason to directly say 'no', either.
If they make a 15% commission on cars sold, you can bet your ass I'd be working my way through phone lists when I wasn't working on a better prospect.
(I did a whole lot of telemarketing/sales back in the day. My company did as well - but we only called prior clients and businesses who had specifically expressed interest.)
I do remember typing that I would like a black one with flames on it though LoL
