hi</P>


does anyone know why a car sold in 2004 is called a 2005 model.common sense will tell you that if a car is sold in 2004 ,it is a 2004 model.If it is a 2005 model it should be sold in next year.</P>


Car manufacturers are already advertising 2005 models for sale this year and we are just inteh first quarter.</P>


Can anyone shed some light on this subject.</P>

This is common among the car industry, but we usually see models that are a year ahead than the current year (2005 model sold in 2004)after September. ButI've seen as early as in February / March(2002SLK, 2004 Toyota Corolla). The year indicated is only the "model year", so actually they can call it any year they want. It is the year that the car is built that is important, which tells the age of the car. You can find the manufacture date of the vehicle on the label placed on either driver side door, next to the driver's seat, or in the engine compartment. </P>

 

I only see Americans do that. They also think its safer if everyone carrys guns...</P>

 

GM sold 1999 trucks in 2001 and called them 2000 trucks. </P>


I think I got that right. I dunno, I'm confused. Shoot me. I'm in America.</P>

 

I just found out tonight thatfine, law-abidingcitizens of Georgia can get a concealed-carry gun permit just for the asking. The asking involves a background check which is the same as the oneused if you walk up to a gun shopto buy a handgun. Virginia is the same.I think I'll get one just totick off liberal anti-gun weenies I know.Everywhere else I've livedrequires that youprove a need to carry a gun before a permit is issued to you.</P>
