These Are Your Wildest (And Most Hilarious) Car Buying Stories
Buying a car is usually a pretty big deal. Even if it's just going to be one to add to your collection of beaters that make your backyard look like a graveyard of better days, there are so many factors that go into the buying experience—and sometimes, it can just get straight up weird.
But when I asked y'all to share your most bizarre car buying experiences, well. I still managed to find myself a little shocked that some of this shit is actually real.
Sit down, buckle up, and get ready to thank your lucky stars you're not some of these poor souls.
