This one's a matching question. Should be fun.
Stan just graduated from business school at Morehead State and wanted a sweet new ride so when he rolled up at the 27 job interviews he had lined up, he'd look like just the kind of winner somebody would want to hire. Strapped with crippling student loan debt and being presently unemployed, he decided to head down to Stealin' Steve's Hooptie Holler to try to find a gem among all the junk. Before he went, he checked out Steve's inventory online and found just the car he was looking for. It was a 1977 Trans-Am with t-tops and chrome tips on the exhaust pipes. Dang! The car pictured on the website was pristine, all the way down to the golden eagle stenciled on the hood. He could already hear Jerry Reed singing "Eastbound and Down" and see Buford T. Justice in his rearview mirror.
Stan's concerns about the car's age were all put to rest when he read what Steve had to say about it. The car had been garage kept for the last 44 years and only had 3,000 miles on it. It had new brakes, new seats, a new motor, new doors, a new windshield, new tires, new rims, a new transmission, a new trunk lid with a new spoiler on it, a new exhaust system, and new carpeting. In addition to that, Steve guaranteed the buyer would put another 2,000 miles on it before it would need any new parts. "And if you're looking to catch the eye of that special someone ... well this one here's money in the bank!"
Stan couldn't wait to get down to Steve's. When he got there, there it sat. Right in the middle of the showroom floor. "Mind if I take her for a spin?" asked Stan. Steve threw him the keys. "Be careful. She'll throw your hair back." And Steve was right. The car went 0-60 in, like, 37 seconds, and roared like an unusually aggressive raccoon.
When Stan got back, he was ready to sign and Steve was waiting on him, paperwork in hand. Once the deal was done, Steve got into the car and pulled it back into the showroom. Stan was a little confused, but Steve let him know that was just the floor model and he had one just like it outback. Stan was immediately suspicious because when Steve handed him the keys to his new car, they smelled funny.
What was around back was a wheezing pile of American automotive shame. It was a '77 Trans-Am, alright. But it looked like a modern art installation entitled: A Study in Duck Tape and Sheet Metal. When Stan started it up, the passenger side door fell off.
Stan sat there thinking, "There are some breaches of express warranties here." What are they?
