I can't claim it as mine, but it is the best of that particular meme, for sure

My salesman was great for my used Leaf, and the paperwork guy was too, but manager was terrible. Came in with a trade-in quote from a close CarMax, told them I'd they didn't beat it then they're not getting it, and the manager came back a grand lower. Salesman looked embarrassed.

I understand your point on the whole, and agree with it in many cases. Cars doesn’t happen to be one of them, as what comes from the mfr is the same regardless of dealer, rather than a mom and pop grocery that might have local stuff your big box doesn’t. But I see your point, and good for you for making choices that…

Yeah, but half of those are rick rolls

Right, but who is providing that defense? And at what cost? One lawsuit, and it folds. Steve lehto gonna donate their service? Immoral Minority?

Thanks for this. It's greatly appreciated.

Fellow NB owner here. I too put my kids in the front in their car seat, but rarely if ever do I leave the immediate neighborhood. If the street is major enough to have a yellow line, I'm hesitant. Yeah, it's an 01, but it's basically structurally the same as the first ones on 1990. You're not wrong here
