Many cars come with a short warranty. For a small fee you can extend this warranty on an annual basis to make sure your valuable purchase remains protected for years to come. For more information on how to go about this DM me.

It's a reference to spam callers. For a few years, right around when everyone was realizing they shouldn't answer the phone for unknown callers, it was really common to get calls that, if you picked up, would play a pre-recorded message along the lines of "Hello! We've been trying to get in touch with you regarding your car's extended warranty. You may be entitled to money and blowjobs, and if your warranty expires, your hair will fall out and your car will be repossessed. To speak to a representative, press 1. Por habla Esperanto, marqué νούμερο 二."

If you pressed 1, you would ostensibly be connected to a high-pressure sales rep trying to sell you a worthless maintenance contract. Nobody is really certain, though, because despite hundreds of millions of people receiving twelve of these calls each day, not one person every stayed on the line longer than "regarding..." In fact, my memory on the end of that message might be a fabrication, because I don't think I ever heard it.

It’s a reference to how relentless phone scammers can be. The joke being that they would go to extreme lengths to reach you. Other similar memes might feature a message in a bottle reaching you while you are stranded on a deserted island, or a brick with the same message thrown through your window at night

One of the largest scam and phishing phone call strategies in the U.S. is based entirely on the aftermarket automobile "warranty" business. They charge people incredible amounts of money to cover parts and repairs they'll probably never use over some arbitrary 3 or 5 year timespan. Its A kind of insurance for things that would have cost less than the warranty does, but sticker shock and sudden expense are the scariest. You get the offers through conventional mail marked up as like official government letters as well.

There's an extremely common cold call scam where a VOIP calls you to notify you about your car warranty expiring, and for the low, low price of 100s of dollars they'll give you an extended car warranty.

Fuck that's good
