Sigh.. RS4 sure does attract attention
So I'm fillin up the car the other day at rush hour, in Brookline, when up rolls one of those white chevy vans. The guy sticks his head out of the window with a smile and says "Hey man, I know this may sound crazy, but do you want to buy a home theater system? Its from Best Buy"
I mean, come on.. does anyone really buy **** out of the back of a van?? I thought that was an urban myth

It's not an urban myth, I've had it happen to me here in Montreal and no it's not because...
Of your car, it's because the stuff in the van is slightly warm! LOL.

I wouldn't neccessarily say the stuff is "warm"...
While it could be, a lot of these scams are just products that are crap.
They take a known, quality speaker manufacturer and slightly change the name so it sounds the same to the casual/uninformed buyer (like Paradyme instead of Paradigm). They sell junk products under these names.
I've been approached by them (in the typical white van).

Re: Sigh.. RS4 sure does attract attention
I have had trucks pull up to my office and someone comes in and asks the receptionist if anyone in the company wants to buy some furniture/electronics/video games. "We brought too many of these and [name of retailer] can't accept them so we'll just have to send them back to the manufacturer. Unless you want to buy some at a great deal!"

The best is the magazine rack at the book store sales pitch...
happened to me several times. Checking out the car magazines and some guy will come up and start talking to you about cars. Ok. Next he's talking about you working for him doing some bs pyramid sales scheme
