Dave Van Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 That link does all sorts of weird BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH. Please be careful when posting stuff like this. Agreed....tried to do some weird things........I think it's bogus anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Vast parking areas for unsold inventory...seen this posted on Jalopnik and elsewhere...wonder why all those Durangos were white or silver/gray...fleet vehicles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 That link does all sorts of weird BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH. Please be careful when posting stuff like this. Works fine for me, tested it before posting, no virus alerts and no ads (I'm running ad-blocker on chrome). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Imagine.... you could break in there at night, steal one, and make off with it silently... I can't imagine they'd record ALL the VINs for those... Take a brown Durango from Sector 40, pull one from 39 and put it in 40's place, they couldn't even tell....

chunkypeanutbutter Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I did have problems, as well. A solution I found: as soon as you enter the page and it loads as far as you can see, hit the X in the address bar. It'll stop the page from loading further and opening the whatever-it-is that it's trying to link to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Well, both of them loaded up weird ads on both chrome and Firefox, and I have ad locker on all my browsers., not too mention someone else had the same issue. Please be careful when posting stuff like this. Like i said, I tested it BEFORE I posted it, and it worked fine, zero issues. Can't be much more careful than that, right? I wouldn't have posted some cyber-attack redirect BS knowingly. But I took the links down. Everybody happy now? Oh...some of the pix posted in 2014 were in fact from 2009, and if you check the current Google Earth shots of some of the areas pictured, the cars're gone. Elvis bought them all.

Danny Lectro Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) As Bill said in his last post, these photos date back to 2009, when the global recession was still in full swing. In addition, some of the photos were of cars awaiting export shipment. Check these out for more context. http://www.snopes.com/photos/automobiles/unsoldcars.asp http://www.hoax-slayer.com/unsold-car-stockpile-photographs.shtml There is also an article on Jalopnik.com, but I won't link to it as there is a minor cuss-word in the URL.

JohnU Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yeah, a guy at work tried to lay this BS on me too till I showed him the truth on Snopes. People really need to be careful of some of the propaganda nonsense that gets passed arround in email chain letters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejunkman Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yeah, a guy at work tried to lay this BS on me too till I showed him the truth on Snopes. People really need to be careful of some of the propaganda nonsense that gets passed arround in email chain letters! But I thought everything on the internet was true? Remember Bill Gates was going to share his fortune if you participated in his email beta test?

Dave Van Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Abe Lincoln said at Gettysburg 'Don't believe everything you read on the internet'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Abe Lincoln said at Gettysburg 'Don't believe everything you read on the internet'. Dang. I read on the internet that he actually said "the reports of my death have been wildly exaggerated", in about 1944, just before the start of the revolutionary war. And then he invented pants.

unclescott58 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Pants have been invented? Wow! Good news! Maybe I'll get arrested for indecent exposer less often now. Good old Abe. I knew he could do it. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
