No, I didn’t buy a car, but today, on a whim, I decided to go out and pretend I wanted to buy one. Not only that, but I went to a dealership that was being shuttered, and so everything was on clearance

I had a similar experience on Wednesday. Thursday I did actually buy a car, but on Wednesday I did not have the intention. I drove into the lot and got out to look at a car in the rain. Suddenly, a wild salesman appears! He said if I had time to wander around in the rain, I could take five minutes and fill out a credit application. Since car loan credit is a soft hit (like a mortgage check) and rarely affects your rating, I agreed. I was approved for a lease on a BRAND NEW Honda Civic, which I agreed to take for a test drive. The damn thing had 26 miles on the odometer when I got in. Oh, that was fun. The salesman was very confused about why I would walk away. Little did he know, I was headed to a dealership closer to home to buy the Ford Focus I currently own. It was certainly an experience.
