Done

Wow, this one is hard. I've been in the business 15 years from salesman, to managers to now an owner and its hard to pick out a top story.

I had just started working at a Toyota/Scion dealership in SE Idaho. I was new on the floor, my first job selling cars and I was ready to take on the world. Two gentlemen came in looking for a new Scion tC, I only had one in stock and it was an automatic transmission. They incisted that they wanted a manul

I once helped a girlfriend's father remove an engine and transmission from a 1970 Pontiac LeMans. After we winched out the block and wheeled the hoist away, I remember looking back in the empty engine bay and thinking, "Man, that would make a killer hot tub for 6."

So effectively what they've done is return a dilapidated and poorly built Range Rover to a new and poorly built Range Rover. These are handsome trucks, but have electrical systems made of Alpaca feces - as in they're complete shit.

Because it's a vintage Land Rover... you have to accept a new standard of "straight."

All I see is a Volvo TP 21 'Sugga'

I prefer that "dash."

Yeah, I was incorrectly using 'Defender' as shorthand for 'the one with all the creature comforts of being thrown down a flight a stairs' :)

$235,000? I expect a few spare containers of Lucas replacement wiring harness smoke coming with the car for that sum of money.

Seats are important for a car. They help you sit down, so you don't fall over when you hit a bump.

I'm a bit ignorant. Is socialism illegal in the US?

You guys already run Beetles! That's more than 95% of the way there! Do it!

The trunk is too small so the lid won't latch with both of the kids in there.

Itchy-trigger-fingered Germans in South America? What WERE they nervous about?

That's either "Would you like to go flowerpicking?" or "I just ate the hearts of 24 puppies as prophesied by the Desolate One". Either way the last thing I'm thinking about doing is defying you.
