Default Vendors!!! Enough!!!

When the 10 GS prices were posted, I emailed the CF vendors to get a price. Some responded, some didn’t..

However, since emailing the vendors, I am now on some of their JUNK email lists..

Vendors! When I inquire about a NEW CORVETTE.. I’m not interested in any “USED CARS SALE” you’re having.. and besides.. you’re 2000 miles away..

Vendors! When I inquire about a NEW CORVETTE.. I’m not interested in stopping by to view the new CAMARO.. I inquired about a NEW CORVETTE. I know, some liken the new Camaro to the Corvette.. but IT'S NOT A CORVETTE.. and besides.. you’re 2000 miles away..

Vendors! When I inquire about a NEW CORVETTE.. I’m not interested in stopping by for Hamburgers and Hot Dogs this weekend, next weekend or any weeknd.. and besides haven’t you seen the health warnings on the news lately about the Hot Dogs you’re pushing.. and besides.. you’re 2000 miles away, a (bleeping) long drive for a deadly hot dog..

ENOUGH!!!

How can you hide your e-mail address when you are e-mailing them for a quote on a car?

Just for future reference, if you just have to use email to contact a business like that, especially when you know they are going to turn around and bombard you with spam, just create a temporary email account on Yahoo, Gmail or the like and give them that one. Once you are done with your transaction, just delete it and you are spared the spam.
