You charged a car purchase on a credit card? Really?
According to ARLnow.com, the driver may have mistakenly hit the gas pedal instead of the brake before the crashed occurred. There were four people inside the vehicle during the test drive.
The vehicle that the woman was driving is priced at around $60,000.
Police and the fire department responded to the crash and evaluated the sales consultant who was in the test drive vehicle. There were no serious injuries, the fire department said.
Lol
She was probably texting during the test drive in the parking lot.
I did it 20 years ago. Used my business account. The dealership did not know what to do. So I told them I was buying a car today, here or somewhere else. They put it on the card.
I wonder why? You don't suppose...?
You could do that on a Blavk Amex
interesting possibility!
It sure does seem strange that they are not naming the person, that should be standard in news articles.
“I don’t like the way that one handled. I’d like to drive a blue one now.”
she found a place to park
:)
Wow, car’s got a lot of pick up...
“I only hit three cars when I test drove the BMW.”
Making sharp turns in four wheel drive can be tricky if you’re not used it. Driving in a straight line? No problem. Hairpin turn? Prepare to meet Mr. Guardrail.
What about the Anti Flip control?
Shaeeka, is it loaded? Baby, just pull the trigger. That's the way you find out honey. Don't waste time, pull the trigger! Let's get on with it!
Do I want this? Of course not. None the less, folks continue to point guns where they shouldn't be pointed. They continue to discharge them with a human in the line of fire.
I can't change it. People will do what they do.
NEVER point a gun at ANYTHING you don't want to shoot.
There is no such thing as an unloaded weapon.
Always treat your weapon as if it was loaded, and going to fire at any given moment.
If you fear for your life, point it at center mass and only then pull the trigger.
I always put the car on a credit card. Then I flip it to a car loan. Nothing like waving plastic under their little noses.
The D.C. metro area is overrun with “immigrants” from Asia, Mexico, Central & South America, the Middle East, and Africa. It’s a big part of why Virginia has become a blue state. Spoken English is becoming less & less common in Northern Virginia. Will give odds the driver is not Anglo-Saxon.
Neither - I want a black one
