Yup, that’s all correct.
OK. I’ll PM you the .car-file then I guess, and then everything is OK?
(Will be away for the weekend so coming soon, but waiting a little if I should think of something to correct)

Dear highly appreciated PMI owner and/or potential future client,
You receive this letter and brochure because you were erroneously sent a promotional card for our new Companion Wagon 1.7 that regrettably contains a printing error. We apologize for the incorrect information that has appeared on this particular batch of cards. And we assure you that our cars, including the new Companion Wagon 1.7 will also turn Westward.
The reference to “East” on the promotional card concerned is a typo and refers to our patented Easy-to-DriveTM advanced automatic transmission system, which, we may add, is specifically adapted to select between cruise-mode; city-mode; and MPB-mode (“mud-, puddle- and bumps”).

The brand new wagon version of the PMI Companion has appeared on the market, currently being offered with a state-of-the-art but highly reliable 1.7 litre engine (future engine options are planned for 1988 model year).
The PMI Companion Wagon 1.7 aims to be a modern and straightforward car, offering everyday transport and utility in a stylish and comfortable fashion. We offer as standard central locking for the 4 doors, two front cup holders and two mirrored sun visors - the missus can do her rearrange her make up after her commute to work or to her many social events. We never forget our female drivers, who will certainly enjoy our earlier advanced automatic transmission system backed-up by power steering, allowing for nimble city manoeuvring.
Gentlemen and outdoor-men, rejoice in the fact that this same Easy-to-DriveTM system allows this lightweight but sturdy and guaranteed corrosion resistant vehicle to tackle the unpaved roads towards pastures, hunting or camping grounds.

This may not be an off-road rock crawler, but with the front-wheel drive system coupled with performant back-suspension and the manual selection mode for the transmission, PMI guarantees you the Companion will be your best friend on every backroad. PMI admits it might lie there, but only because instead man’s true best friend might be sitting next to you or in the spacious and modular rear (the rear seats are foldable and completely removable) of the car during those trips. In this last scenario we bear good news, as PMI has developed a revolutionary system to refresh and cool the air inside the car, without unreliable and leaking aircon. Your pet will be panting of enthousiasm only in the PMI Companion Wagon 1.7.
The interior is as durable as the exterior and allows you store ample shopping, hunting or fishing supplies, camping or beach equipment without any issue. The external roofrack is also modular and can be adapted in width and breath to accommodate extra luggage, skies, canoes, bikes, surf planks or other.
The 1.7 PMI engine is from our European sister company and focusses on reliability, low speed driving and low fuel consumption. PMI US assures you the powerplant is freedom-approved, yet trust-worthy and economical.
The price listed in our promotional card is not printing error we assure you, and remains at a remarkable $ 5905, for the perfect car for he or she, in and outside of the city.
The current list of options reads as follows:
Radio-cassette - $185
Central locking, including tailgate - $45
Tachometer - $25
Alloy wheels - $95
Metallic paint (as in brochure) - $155
(Note: none of the following trims exclude each other - all can be bought together)
Vanity trim (decorated steering wheel and dash; special storage space for cosmetics in the front and clothing and groceries in the back) - $75
Hunting trim (special accu-powered coolbox for groceries, bait or catches; and a rifle rock and lockable ammo box) - $110
Camping trim (PMI hammock and tent; attachment points in the rear and on the tailgate to attach a tent - including but not limited to the PMI tent - allowing you to incorporate your PMI companion as part of your outdoor living space - $75
Pet-lover and hunting dog trim (two special, (re-)movable dogseats in back; sturdy and incorporated anti-spill food-and-drink bowls; removable separation screen behind the front seats; PMI collar and customizable dogtag) - $75

To further excuse for the confusion caused by our printing error, PMI cordially invites you to present this voucher when buying a PMI Companion Wagon 1.7 to receive one of our 4 special trims for free.
The Ritz or the Rubble - or both. The choice is yours. PMI Companion Wagon 1.7 is your choice.
Cordially,
PMI US Management

I haven’t actually done a competition before, so to make up for the woefully underbuilt car I figure the best move is to try way too hard on the ad.

“east to drive”? So the car can only be drivable if you’re always turning right?
Holy crud, it’s a reverse NASCAR 4x4 wagon! (talk about things you never expected to say…) 
Good call on the air circulation system though. No doghouse can ever feel that fresh!

Haha, oh boy, I’ll adapt that when I can. Last night was my only totally free night before the deadline. It was almost 2am when I typed that. Thanks for pointing that out!

'86 MUD M40 Overlander
For just $6367 (including a 30% markup), you can have a 4x4 wagon that seats five (with a foldable second row), can go anywhere and carry 1.6 (metric) tons of cargo - more if you tow a trailer. Options include a roof rack, an upgraded stereo and alloy wheels. Other body styles include a ute and panel van. So if you want to go off the beaten track, why not get an M40 Overlander right now?

LLA K16C - Dependabile Yet Affordable
With a light yet efficient 1.6 4 cyclinder the K16C is plenty powerful enough for everyday driving, developing only 85Hp. However being driven through an all new Advanced Automatic the car feels safe and easy to drive meaning long drives are less fatiguing so you can adventure for longer.
Furthermore with the Comfort package you get more premium leather seats and 4 gears rather than the base 3.
However the K16c is not as urban focused as you may think, independent suspension allows for better travel on each individual wheel. Off-road the auto gearbox also makes traversing the terrain even easier as rather fucussing on the car, you can focus on the trail.
Buy now for only $4,456.25* with 5 Years warrenty.
-or for an extra $2000 get the Explorers pack containing a Caming stove, Built in chiller taking up a small amount of space in the cargo compartment, A tent, An assortment of pans and cutlery and A water distiller with a 2 Gallon storage bottle.
*$4,456.25 is the price of the car in 1986 after taking the in-game value for 2018 and entering it into Value of $51 in 1950. What is $51 in 1950 worth in today's dollars?

Alright, let’s see if I finally grasped the infamous concept of negative space and making a good car ad (this is only my second attempt, but my original one was painfully rubbish);
I have no idea if I got this 1986 price rate thing right, the original got a 30% markup and then was converted to Ye Ol’Brick Rate.
If anything went awry in that process, the original Automation price is $9925.
Also, much like Miros and the dog references he threw like hambones (darn it! 
), there is a running gag in this non-lore car of mine. Can you guess which gag it is?

Well, CSM wouldn’t be much of a law-bending company if it didn’t mess up conventional English, now would it?
Joke aside, the catchphrase isn’t to be taken completely literally, of course. It’s more of a cheesy metaphor on the Nash’s go-everywhere abilities than anything else…
Proudly developed from the finest (and stiffest) American military vehicles! Semper Fi, Hooah, Sonic Boom and all that American military lingo…
