  2. MRN ♂ says:

    Wow – no wait, that’s the same forward and back.

  3. Smarties says:

    While this is a fail….it’s not an amusing fail.

  4. Dann says:

    ok…

  5. Aja says:

    Save those letters from being eaten!

  6. JasonK says:

    Elas? Hellas! Ελλάδα! Wooo

    • Turdy McDoofus says:

      Could also mean that this is a “secret” base of the “Ellinikós / Ethnikós Laikós Apelevtherotikós Stratós”, or rather a retirement home ad for these guys… should be quite the old fart section by now! Whatever, not that much of a hilarious FAIL

  7. Lindoro Almaviva says:

    Well Elas is also French for “alas” or “Poor me”

    were the store owners giving a hidden comment on the state of their business or the auto industry in general?

      John and Jessica were on their way home from the bar one night and John got pulled over by the police. The officer told John that he was stopped because his tail light was burned out. John said, “I’m very sorry officer, I didn’t realize it was out, I’ll get it fixed right away.”

      Just then Jessica said, “I knew this would happen when I told you two days ago to get that light fixed.”

      So the officer asked for John’s license and after looking at it said, “Sir your license has expired.”

      And again John apologized and mentioned that he didn’t realize that it had expired and would take care of it first thing in the morning.

      Jessica said, “I told you a week ago that the state sent you a letter telling you that your license had expired.”

      Well by this time, John is a bit upset with his wife contradicting him in front of the officer, and he said in a rather loud voice, “Jessica, shut your mouth!” pr0perty0fgl0wp0rt

      The officer then leaned over toward Jessica and asked. “Does your husband always talk to you like that?”

      Jessica replied, “only when he’s drunk.”

  9. Aja says:

    The meant to spell melassis but they ran out of letters.

  10. ♀nΣ šWε└∟ ♥ ƒ∞þ says:

    Well, heck, I liafed! Mornin’ all! *grinsnwavesnsqueezesasneeded*

  11. leon says:

    why is this a fail???
    someone made a picure and used paint to flip it around

  12. 5_eagles fail borg 1of1 says:

  13. JOhnny MAc says:

    Wow, I just love reading from right to left dont you?

  14. wefail says:

    thats not a fail. the only failing here is the comments. its dot drivers who will see S first then A then L then E

  15. Leonidas says:

    THIS IS NOT A PHAIL! Has it occured to any of you that this is in Hellas, or as you ignorant English call it, Greece? There are being patriotic, that’s all.

  16. Jack says:

    It’s an obvious sale WIN. It got your attention, and it got the message across.

  17. ThaBlob says:

    negawskloV NIW!!!!

  18. BAReFOOt says:

    “Elas” is a NAME, you retards!

    This is your common egocentricity FAIL!

  19. FailatFail says:

    If you are in a road, driving your car, and you look your rear mirror directly to that place you’ll read “SALE”… I think that’s ingenious publicity, all of you have failed at fail, have a nice day.

    • Corn (AKA Huston) says:

      however, the letters would have to be backwards too. But still….(Pink Panther reference) good one. (/Pink Panther reference)

  20. Me from Brasil says:

    hey guys i think you commit a big mistake, in Portuguese “ELAS” means “SHE”, so the sing in thous cars mean that the cars are for women’s. that’s not “SALE”… jaskldkjaslkjd lol

  21. ZombieApocalypse says:

    No silly fools, this particular dealership is located in East Lost Angeles, or ELA. Get it? It’s ELA’S car dealership.
    .
    Stupid living folk. You deserve the apocalypse. Bodies are mounting, prepare for the end of days.
    .
    *can’t wait*
    *is in a bad mood*
    *doesn’t want to talk about it*
    *wants to destroy the world instead*
    *LOVES the show Life After People on the History channel*
    *but wonders why there are never any zombies on that show*

  22. unkerry says:

    Anyone ever think maybe they were targeting the market traveling in the opposing lane of traffic… driving AWAY from this? I’ve seen it done around here, so traffic sees it in the rearview.

  23. JPatch says:

    There was one like this I saw the other day. It said, “ALE”

    I seriously wanted to see if they had any.

  24. Misty says:

    Ha — I drive by this place every night!

  25. That Guy says:

    Cant see how this fails at all. Its actualy pretty smart seeing as most people dont notice these kind of signs until they are driving by them. Its the same reason the letters on the front of an ambulance are backwards…so you can read it in a mirror…duh. This is my first fail comment, and it wont be my last. Ive been following these fail things a while, and so far, Ive seen tons of frauds and photoshits. Time to fail the fail.

  26. Heathbar says:

    This wasn’t perchance taken in Medford Oregon? >.>

    Saw this the other day on my way home from the store lol.

  27. Amalia says:

    This isn’t a great fail to me – if it is one at all. States do this on the road all the time – people read it as they’re driving. Makes sense to me.

  28. HunterJE says:

    I realize the joke the text is going for, but I still think it’s funnier as the opposite of a common internet abbreviation.

    Because while it’s easy to die in one, it takes skills to live in a fire.

  29. Daniel says:

    I think it is supposed to be backwards so that it is read one letter at a time from traffic driving right by it

  30. H says:

    Maybe it’s a subtle marketing ploy to get people into the yard. As soon as someone walks in and says, “Hey, you spelt SALE wrong,” they do the hard sell to get them to buy a car.

  31. cirE rookaS says:

    ?ti htiw gnorw stahw

  32. harold says:

    Look at the way they’re facing, on the right side of the road. There is probably an intersection near also. So when you’re sitting there, and look in your mirror, it will read “sale”.

  33. finebone says:

    This is a fail, even backwards. If you read it in a mirror, the “S” and “L” would be backwards, even if it was in the right spot.

    it would look similar to this:
    Z A _| E

  34. mrh says:

    This is your common egocentricity FAIL!

  35. Alexandra Assur says:

    Awesome, I live really close to that dealership, saw that, and thought that it should be on that site. At the time though I didn’t have my camera. Thanks for putting it on here!

  36. jon says:

    you guys are dumb as hell. Its for when you drive by and see it in the rear view mirror.

  37. Mac says:

    They just misspelled “HELLAS”…

  38. Lais says:

    portuguese \o/

    “Elas” = “they” but only for women

    =]

  39. junkcore says:

    I laughed my ass off when i saw “LIAF” =)))

  40. Isabel says:

    Well, in portuguese, ELAS is the plural of “she” (in the case, “ela” singular, plural “elas” )….

  41. James says:

    its so that people can see it when they look in the mirror of their car

  42. bob says:

    quite clearly not a fail

  43. MasterShake says:

    I’m having an elas of watermelon

  44. Russo says:

    in portuguese ELAS = SHE…

  45. Kevin says:

    I’ve actually seen car dealerships do this a lot. It has something to do with the direction the car is traveling on the road and so you can read it in your mirrors.

  46. trix says:

    It just looks like someone took a picture, and flipped it in photoshop/any image editing program.

    Or what others have been saying… the mirror thing.

  47. Marissa says:

    ?taht hctac ton yeht did woH

  48. Marco says:

    They put it like that so if people drive by it they will see SALE in the mirror.

  49. crackers says:

    Elas me harties we arive at ye olde care dealership!

  50. bawlsax says:

    dyslexia win!

  51. LD3 says:

    LiAF WAS THE iCiNG ONE THE CAKE

  52. Ilmaoonfailblog says:

    they did the same thing at a dealership near me

  53. edeion says:

    Alas…

  54. Ashley says:

    Dude, they took the picture of the mirror! not so that people would drive by and see sale IN the mirror… did anyway catch that? seriously?

  55. Alex says:

    Anyone consider the possibility of this having been intended to be read through a rear-view mirror of a car passing by? Not quite up to fail blog standards IMO.

  56. Odin says:

    if any of you have ever drove a car before then you would know that when u look at something in your mirror its backwards SO if your driving away and u look in your mirror you would see SALE not a fail

  57. RanKotobuki says:

    Reminds me of the time I wrote GO HORNETS on my face for homecoming, I did it myself in the mirror so it was backwards! LOL

  58. MIGUEL says:

    PEOPLE THIS ISNT A FAIL! IVE SEEN THIS. THIS IS MEANT FOR CARS TO LOOK IN THEIR MIRRORS WHEN THEY PASS BY THE CAR LOT! WHEN THEY LOOK ON THER MIRRORS IT SPELLS OUT SALE!

  59. nat says:

    hi nice elas

  60. bajuwar says:

    mumpf

  61. Hunter says:

    ?bmud os ouy erew yhW

  62. Andrew Ong says:

    Elas (alas), the sales are reversed.
