I Am *NOT* Selling Any Cars, I Promise

April 23, an item:

Twice today a very excited yet hard to understand woman from Pennsylvania has called to inquire about the PT Cruiser I have for sale.

I don't have one to sell or give away.

I don't know what's worse: Knowing she's dialed the wrong number twice, knowing she'll probably call again, or that she's looking to buy a PT Cruiser.

Whow knows what's going on? I chalked it up to a misdial, or at least a phone number written down incorrectly.

Then yesterday/today:

I got another call yesterday - this time from Oregon - from another difficult-to-understand woman confused why I denied all knowledge of the car I have for sale.

Whether or not she, too, was in search of a PT Cruiser is unknown.

Someone else from Oregon just called. I had Google screen the call.

And called again. I talked with her a bit this time. She told me "Red Line Auto Sales" on Highway 99 gave her my number.

There is such a business, in Vancouver, Washington . . .

Once, I could chalk it up as a fluke and/or mistake. But with this many calls, I have to wonder: Why are they getting my phone number?

A commonality: Those who have called have thick what I'd call Asian accents, and all are women. I think someone is jerking their chain in possibly a racist manner. Or not. Who knows?

But maybe *this* is why they want PT Cruisers, or at least why the first lady wanted one.
