Hmmmmm....I've often wondered about those programs. It would be a nice way to get a new car and have someone else pay for it. Put it out on FB and see if anyone knows about it. What have you got to lose?

Oh it's fake. The whole post was sarcasm. You can tell because there are no official logos, the email address doesn't go to the company referred or any company for that matter, and it's riddled with typos and grammatical errors.

But what about the cars you see on the roads that are obviously doing what this add tries to sell? It's gotta be legitimate somewhere down the line.

There are legitimate ones. This is not one.

Did that make it into your inbox or you went looking through your spam folder just for giggles? Gmail is fantastic at keeping spam out of my inbox but every once in a while something will sneak in.

Oddly, it made it through the filters at work of all places.
