CNN American Morning: Missouri Car Dealership Gives Away an AK47 with Each Truck P

[Racerbvd]

Cool guy, I would by a car from him...

Clever marketer. Give away a $400 AK or reduce the truck price by $1,000?

I think there was a thread on this a few weeks ago. I like the gimmick, but it's totally a gimmick. I'd rather take a real discount and then find a good deal on a rifle on my own.

AK-47? Doubtful.
MAK-90 is more likely.

I have $400 handy right now for anyone who wants to sell me their AK-47 for that price.

[Rick Lee]

No, the MAK's have the wooden stock with the thumb hole. Pretty sure these are the Century Arms or WASR's. Not full auto, but look just like the real ones.

Mancow...brings back memories. When he first started out my little sister was obsessed with him back when she was in middle school. She would call into his radio show almost every day for months.

Now we know he's a raging conservative (and my sister is a bleeding heart).

Of course, the point of this promotion is to get the dealership in the press and get many more times *free* advertisement than they could possibly buy. I'd say it's working.

Bingo. This has been done before, it always gets good press.
