When I was looking at Mazda 6’s, I told him I wanted black and the price I wanted to pay. Dealer - “I just got a car in, I can do your price, has everything you want.” Me - “Ok great, what color is it.” Dealer - “It’s white” Me - “Um, ok I’m going to pass on the white one, I’m not really digging it.” Dealer - (In appaled voice) - “What I go out of my way to get you the best deal and you are going to pass it up because you dont like the color, thats the craziest thing I have ever heard.” Me - “Ok thanks for calling.” CLICK ---

Now I was talking to the owner of the dealership, not a manager, or a sales person… While inquiring about c6 Z06’s… I said something along the lines of… “yeah, I really like what they did with the new ones…” Dealer - “oh absolutely… they made a couple different changes. probably the biggest and most appealing change they made was the exposed headlights and navigational system” Myself - "ummm. I was talking more along the lines, of the motor…powerwise. Thats more appealing to me than the headlights…you know, the extra 100+ hp, and 1.3 more liters. " Dealer - “oh yeah…that too. but you can’t forget the navigation system” Myself - “I’m not really intrested in the navigation system. I’d rather not have it” Dealer - “But without the navigation system, how are you going to see where you are going??” Myself - “the windsheild.” ---

I only have two good ones… Test driving a Mazda 6 at Holtz: Dealer : “Go ahead, give it some gas, it really gets up and goes” Me - downshifts from 5th to 3rd on 390N take it up to around 110mph Dealer : “Uhhh… I think that was a cop, I think we need to get off now” At a dealership in Ft. Myers Florida about a month after the 350z was introduced, they had 6 of them on the lot. I went in for a test drive and somehow got the 22 year old who was 2 days on the job, a job given to him by his father 😉 So we’re out testing out this Z (touring, so no traction control ;)), we’re cruising down 41 (the main shopping/car dealer strip, 5 lanes with a divided median). We end up at a light next to a Mustang, meanwhile this guy has been talking this car up non stop. Dealer: “This car IS the faster car, that Mustang hasnt got anything on us” Guy in mustang revs at us Dealer: “I know this is the faster car, give it some gas” Me _smiles_ Light goes green I goose it off the line, floor it through 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Dealer: “Hahaha, I TOLD YOU this was the faster car. Ok, let’s turn around now and head back to the dealership” So I pull into the left hand turn lane and prepare for a U Turn around the concrete median when we get the green arrow. Light goes green, I roll out, turn in give it some hard gas and slide it all the way across both empty lanes straighten it out and grab second. Dealer: “Hahaha Awesome man! This car is made for you, the last dude who took this thing out could barely drive!” I garuntee he didnt have a job there much longer than a month. ---

i just remembered another pne…i dunno how i could forget this: last year i had to do a paper for school and part of my research ended up including going to Northtown Dodge and test driving a new Hemi Ram. now, obviously, i kno the concept of a hemi engin, but i had to ask: Me: so, exactly hoow does a Hemi engine work differently from any other conventional engin? salsesman: uhh, it makes the truck go faster go ahead and get on it, this thing is fast!
