Project 'Death of a Salesman', [NOT A CAR] |

So, my friend and I are working on a little project, and our working name is Death of a Salesman because, if we dedicate ourselves to it enough, it WILL eliminate all need for car salesmen.
Due to the fact that we have no patent and need more time than most people would to create it, I cannot disclose a heavy amount of information to you. I will tell you some stuff though. Basically, you would simply need to think of the car that you want, and we would provide a top 50 list of cars to fit your criteria. There would be full-page write-ups and reviews about each car so you can see if the #1 on your list really is number one, or whatever. Overall, it really is a fool-proof way to shop for cars in an unbiased manner, it takes FAR less time than sitting around talking to people, and it's free. The only trade-off is that you have to buy and make your own coffee. Please vote. I just need to see if there's interest here before I print out a bunch of public surveys.

Not her and me alone. We'll just load every common US-legal car from the past 20 years in without reviews and then get help writing those once the site is online.
EDIT: Now I'm off to do homework. feel free to ask questions, but don't spam it up with stuff like "Yeah I agree with [so and so]." This post has been edited by .ecyrB: Sep 19 2010, 08:10 PM |

So you want to stop salesmen by inviting people from the internet?
Hey, has anyone seen that movie with Sly, Schwarzeneger and all those other famous actors? Is it good? This post has been edited by Daniel.: Sep 19 2010, 08:25 PM |

No. It's different. I'm sorry I can't say much more, but you gotta believe me, it hasn't already been done. |

I know, and they will. It's not like you'd just go to the dealer with your number one car in mind and buy it. You'd still need to negotiate a price with them. All it eliminates is them trying to throw on useless upgrades and/or switch you to a completely different car. You'd just bring in a printed "certificate" or whatever and say "This is what I want, I'm not changing my mind, and if you try to convince me otherwise I'm leaving." then go get it.

Very cool, I once thought about it before I had heard people say it, and I thought about how the perfect world uses automatics . Nobody has to do anything dude, it is all about 2nd tier jobs now, the first tier is out, no more writing on paper, the world is CHANGING.............
sounds pretty cool, though, I hope you hab fun |

But back on topic: Yeah, I know it seems unlikely, but all I need to know is a little bit of programming and the bare basics of a helluva lot of cars. So it'll take a while, but it's doable. EDIT: And you're right. It's only for "ordinary" people. The best car for me would probably be something like an automatic 240SX or some s**t. But do I want that? F*ck no. I want a real car. If this works, then my first car will be a Cadillac CTS-V in ice white. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif) This post has been edited by .ecyrB: Sep 20 2010, 12:19 AM |

Because people are lazy and I can make money from ads. Plain and simple.

BUMP!
I may have thought of a way to raise money and, thanks to a loophole in the system, be able to do whatever the f**k I want at school. I am going to create a religion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif) (The school rules specifically state you can violate the dress code for religious purposes and all religious holidays are considered excused absences) You're probably taking this less seriously now, but I'm totally serious. If it's something that can be done, you can bet I'll try it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRK8P94QXxQ This post has been edited by .ecyrB: Sep 24 2010, 09:58 PM |
