New Business concept: RTA Cars!
ButtersStotch wrote: I had a long weekend myself ( not bad, just busy) so I took the day off and went to Ikea. It was very therapeutic. Now I just have to do some building! This struck me as funny, and I was trying to think of someway to make a joke about it; something along the lines of "When I go furniture shopping, I really don't expect to be assembling it myself" but I couldn't. It's become almost normal to have to put together your own cabinetry...
So it got me to thinking -- Why not open a new car dealership where people come in, and I send them home with a new car -- in parts! I'd have all these little baggies of parts with numbers and arrows, and a nice big book written in broken English with "universal" drawings in it. There's be warning about not dropping things on your own head, and not drinking the antifreeze (not included). Then I'd have a 1-800 number to help, which of course would be outsourced to a country where they walk to work and have never held a socket wrench in their hand. There would be calls like "I seem to be missing a few parts, like I have no wheels." Support would be telling people in this country (who don't speak English) in English with a thick accent to connect the bat-tree. Oh what fun. What would we call such a dealership? OH, I KNOW!!!!!! i-Kia! |

| My hubby is in the car trade, he laughed at this thought of DIY car assembly.
My eldest son just got a new desk and cabinet, I'll tell you the language coming from his room needed to be sensored when he was reading the instructions to assemble it. 
Whoops have to go, the Jaguar needs a run on the freeway.

| Actually Ron, that sounds more or less like what Vic
does at work now! Sounds like a lot of fun to me actually - to put together my own car. Maybe I'd get it right, and not the 'right' the dodge people did to my van. Wasn't there a time when you could buy army surplus jeeps like that, that you had to assemble? And if I'm not mistaken they were dirt cheap. I'd like a Hummer - a real one - for $10,000 please.
