I love these stories.

I got service emails for the same year, model, and color Honda Civic that I own from a dealer in the UK. I am in the US. That alone was spooky.

The car was owned by somebody who matched my first initial, last name email address. (Edwin, I believe…)

I tried to unsubscribe. I tried to contact customer service. Nothing worked.

Each email would come with a little video walk around of the car. Eventually I started responding saying that their paint looked better than my car, etc.

I don’t get them anymore. I presume the owner sold the car.
