I always thought SXSW was a music festival? when did it become a lecture event?

Back in the 90's I was a project manager for a heavy equipment manufacturer in Pennsylvania. (work with me, I have a point..) we were manufacturing and shipping something the size of a grain silo to Costa Rica. They ordered it in the summer and date it had to be on the boat was Feb 1st. By Jan 10th, I was told we…

Sean Connery: I’ve got to ask you about the Penis Mightier.

“what’s it gonna take to put you in this car today” BS.

Doesn't the air suspension on these (and similar) crap out eventually anyway and require expensive repair or replacement? Why not just speed up the inevitable.

The best part is that if you view their Inventory page, you get a huge banner above the actual inventory saying:

Makes you want to buy a rolodex just for the endorphin rush of yanking out the little card with their name on it.

♪“Classic Chevrolet, relax enjoy the difference Covid”♪

...and the dealer had a different excuse before covid to not give pricing.  Same policy, new excuse for something not justifiable.

That last part has me in Dr. Steve Brule mode.

The employees are likely just doing what they’ve been told, and likely would get fired if they didn’t. Not their fault. The dealer, however, deserves to be named and shamed.

No sale.  See you on the unemployment line.

I know some folks who live in Houston and who have also had unfavorable experiences with Classic Chevrolet Sugarland.

I ran into a similar thing trying to buy a Honda Monkey in July. I offered to pay (MSRP) cash + shipping and they flat out refused to ship a bike to someone who hadn’t ever set foot in the store. During a pandemic. Now, to be fair, motorcycle inventory was plummeting and most dealers had almost zero bikes this summer.…

I hear their commercials here in Houston all the time. Their catchy jingle instructs you to “relax, enjoy the difference.” I guess they’re not so different after all.

Wow, that’s insane. At the dealer I work for in CT, we don’t even let people test drive until they agree on the numbers. No point in letting a customer drive and possibly contaminate the vehicle if we can’t even agree on how much the car will cost. The more we can do over the internet - the better.
