Tim tells an extended story about car shopping in the desert with Devin and Ida, focusing on hapless salesman Alan at a Range Rover dealership trying to close a deal despite Tim having no license or credit.
- Tim spent the past few days car shopping with his girlfriend in the desert, visiting seven dealerships in one day.
- He's become addicted to car salespeople despite not knowing what car he wants or wanting to spend much money.
- Range Rover salespeople act like they're doing you a favor, which is different from other dealership tactics.
- Alan the salesman didn't know Tim doesn't have a driver's license until after letting him take a test drive.
- Alan called his manager Bob claiming he had a good prospect, but had to admit the guy just needs to pass a driver's test first.
- Tim is too large to fit comfortably in most cars at dealerships, which are designed for Europeans.
- The only BMW that fits him is an old sedan model, which he doesn't want.
- Alan marks the car as sold with Tim's name on it despite Tim having no license and only one $800 credit card.
- Alan's manager reams him out for trying to sell a car to someone with no license and bad credit who talks about Patreon revenue.
- Tim's last car was a 1999 Chevy Suburban he bought for $10,000 in 2007, which eventually got repossessed, leaving him carless for 11 years.
- When the towing company called about liens and fees, Tim congratulated them and hung up without paying.
