TV: Come to our dealership and check out our terrific selection of pre-owned vehicles. Rat: It's called a used car!! I can't take it anymore. Pig: The sanitation engineer is at the door. He says you called him a garbageman.
Political correctness has been way out of control for years now.
But I do have a thought reading those first couple of panels. If you buy a car fresh from the factory where they NEVER started the engine or put gas in the tank or a battery in the engine compartment, had to push it onto the car carrier so it could be delivered to your home and never goes to a dealership, then it’s pushed off the carrier at your home and you NEVER put gas or a battery in it or even use the key to lock, unlock the doors and then you sell it two years later with absolutely ZERO miles on it, is it a used car or a previously owned but still basically brand new? I mean that’s personally the only true way to call a car previously owned without it being used. Previously owned is a possibly true statement (more likely it was previously leased), but certainly used is true even if the last owner only put 400 miles on the car.
