When canned car reviews and boring as fuck news stories won’t do, you’ll have me to thank.
Enjoy!

All of this is proof that our saving the stupid from themselves has polluted the gene pool and created a deep, dark, muddy bottom that really needs to be drained off.

“How often have you used the glovebox? Is the glovebox fully operational? How about the headliner? And the driver’s side cupholder. Do all the cupholders work? Do you have a Carfax? Good. How many owners?”
Guaranteed they were calling about a bmw. Likely an e38 or e39.

Ahhh I’ve helped friends find suitable cars and more often than not it’s like IDK. I love these people, but I’m gong to need more to go on than “I want a blue car for $20,000" since they don’t seem interested in a 996-era Porsche 911.

Great read. I already knew I didn’t want to be a car dealer, but now I know it even more.

I just hate being a salesman.
A conversation I had today about a pre-owned Silverado:
Customer: ...and what color was it again?
Me: It’s white sir. Summit white.
C: I, I see. And it’s a double cab, right? I want a double cab.
M: Yes, it is a double cab with a standard bed.
C: Great. And what color was it?
M: White sir. A white double cab standard bed.
C: It doesn’t have a short bed, does it? I want the extended cab for the standard bed.
M: Yes, it has a standard bed because it is an extended cab.
C: And what color is the interior?
M: Black leather, Mr. Customer.
C: Now I told you I have to have leather. Is it a leather interior?
M: Yes. It is leather, and it is black in color.
C: Fantastic. And what color is the interior?
Me: The interior is black...
This went on for some additional time regarding the fact that it was a V8 and two wheel drive and had heated seats, etc, etc. I think people may shut down higher brain function when buying a car.
