Fictional GPT-6 Astra car-buying agent goes viral: $0.07 per vehicle checked

A tweet styled as a product launch is going viral: the author invents a car-buying agent called GPT-6 Astra that finds the car, pulls its history, compares options, and tells you which one is worth buying — directly targeting CarMax and CARFAX's business model.
The punchline is the pricing gag: $49.99 per car upfront versus $0.07 per car checked, pay as you go, no subscription. It reads as a meme/concept demo about agents disrupting consumer decisions, not a real product.
