That to me sounds like a real car because it is a real car. My apologies for taking your post literally.

I did set up the joke to make it first appear I bought a real car (everything had to be technically accurate. Otherwise it would not be a joke) and delivered the punchline in the form of an image.

As I said, because I know what a real 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis looks like, I thought it would be evident to everyone that the car in the image is not real. You did not know what details to look for and therefore missed the punchline.
