honda thinks i need a snowboard attachment

Jan 14, 2012

I seriously hate junk email. Everyone hates SPAM — but me? I hate all the crap stuff. For example… when I purchased a Honda CRV, the salesman asked for my email address. He mentioned I would receive one survey request that was important insofar as dealership rankings or something like that. He DID NOT mention that it automatically adds me to a bajillion lists where Honda can pummel my inbox with garbage.

I took the first survey request sent by email and they’ve been pestering my inbox ever since. Yesterday, Honda sent another survey request (it will only take 5-10 minutes of my time…are you kidding me??) and, this is about the 5th time they’ve reminded me to take it.

I would suggest that Honda needs to focus more on what I want — and that’s not an inbox full of stuff from them.

Dear Honda: I really love my CRX — it’s exactly what I was looking for when I purchased it, but… I don’t need a snowboard attachment. Or all-season floor mats. Or daily reminders to go to the Honda eStore. And, I don’t want to fill out even one more of your damn surveys. TYVM. Yes, I’ve unsubscribed because you’ve turned the first really good car buying experience I’ve ever had into one big pain in the butt. Leave me alone already.
