Hello Sahara!
Posted in General on May 25th, 2007
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Guy goes to a Jeep dealership “just to take a test drive” (because he’s already checked their online inventory and knows that they don’t have exactly what he’s looking for) and ends up coming home with a new Jeep anyway.
Um, yeah.
