  <description>&lt;p&gt;I watched this video a long time ago on &lt;a href="https://bigthink.com/videos/how-to-buy-a-car-using-game-theory-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;how to use game theory to buy a car&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;5 years ago, I tried it, and it worked.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last year, I tried it again and it worked even better.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I pitch Nick a way we could MVP and productize this car buying process for consumers. &lt;/p&gt;
