I once went on a road rally with a friend of mine (California Melee) in a 1970 Mustang Fastback with basically straight pipes. As cool as that car is, I saw this:

Man, I love the look of the Sport App. Package on silver.

I see that point. Having fought four by declaration, my win rate is 25% (66% in court trial, 100% on appeal). The advantage here is the likelihood of an officer getting the subpoena, sitting down, remembering the event (he has notes on the back of the citation usually), writing his version, and submitting it to the…

Opposite of California, Trial by Written Declaration is the easiest way to beat a ticket in CA.

It’s not “harder” to repair, it’s actually easier because of the modular nature of the body plus the adhesives and rivets that link the panels.

Damn, fighting a ticket in Michigan is an involved process. You can fight it by mail in CA.

Laugh all you want, but until you see it from our side of the fence, you won’t understand how difficult the job can be.

Look, I’m not going to disagree with the way you buy cars. I would love to deal with you because, you’ve done your homework and by the time you get to me you’re ready to buy, this makes me an easy sale with a happy customer. I will, however, disagree with your view of me. As a Sales Professional, I take high offense…

Honestly, it’s a (for the time) high performance car. This is not a car tuned for reliability, the engine is a bit high strung (even if it is the less powerful USDM engine) and the suspension is meant to corner like it’s on rails. He did all the things a 150k mile BMW 3 series would need. This is a nice price…

I have a buddy that had a 1100 lb/ft 6.4L (Arizona)

The 7.3 is no slouch, and can command quite the pretty penny as well.

I see your problem with the Escape’s liftgate. You *waved* your foot! That’s not how it works, you use a swift kicking motion under the bumper and it will open. It looks for the “L” shape of your shin and foot to operate. The Escape has, and I swear this is true, eighteen sensors for the hands free liftgate function.…

I pushstarted my 86 CRX Si when I left the lights on once, so I would say no.

GM actually redesigned their extended cab specifically for the small overlap. I’ve heard that they tested the old design and it was much worse than what you just saw with the F-150. That being said, have you seen the silly hole you have to squeeze through to get into the back of an extended cab Silverado?

I wish more people in the car business were like you. I’ve seen a lot of people come and go through our dealership, and the quickest to get the boot are the “old school” salespeople.

I have an actual Irish plate on mine, it is the same as my actual plate number. I did it because it’s a Euro car and looks better with a Euro plate up front.

It’s the quickest way to relate it to people not in the know about aluminium series.

Rangers and Tacos are stupid expensive right now. The supply of the truly small truck is getting smaller and even a shitty one will hold it’s value incredibly well.

Actually, it’s the same series (6000) alloy as military aluminium.

As I mentioned, it’s the turn in the industry. Seriously, at any given store there are 3-4 salespeople that have been there long term as salespeople, the rest are a rotisserie of green peas.
