    It’s a rather amusing article, but don’t take it too seriously. It’s an ad attempting to go viral. FFS, there are 16 pictures of the Chevy Tahoe.

    I kinda get it, it’s a car site after all. And I don’t want to be the one always screaming “shill!” when a product is mentioned. But still, 16 pictures of the product to tell a mildly amusing story? A story that ultimately isn’t focused on the exact product in question?

      It’s also like the fourth time the same story has been posted in the last couple days.

      Unless the dealer actually ended up selling him the car for $1, it’s really not that newsworthy.

        The GM brand didn’t actually sell cars at these prices, though some say on Twitter that the responses offered by ChatGPT could serve as the basis for a lawsuit (it doesn’t).

        Yeah, it’s just someone trying to hit their article quota or another AI churning out articles.

        LOL, it’s not hard-hitting news, just a funny story. The clickbait headline does imply he bought it for $1.
