I love it. If I were to buy a MINI Cooper Clubman, it would be in the brown they offer (offered?). Subaru did a "Caramel Bronze" on the Outback and Legacy a year or two ago, looked awesome on the Outback. And as I sit here (car salesperson), we have a preowned Kia Soul on our lot that is brown and actually looks…

If that is the handbrake, what is the pedal on the left side of the footwell then?

I wouldn't walk away from a sale. Aside from getting in trouble with management, it is not in my best interest to abandon a possible sale.

The problem is that the best price is completely relative. It depends on how badly the store needs your sale.

I'm on a gawker media site. There are far more F bombs around here than the one I let loose.

The funny thing for me, is that as far as my manufacturer goes, the survey goes 1-10, 10 being best. Above 6-7, it says "Good". That implies you are giving me a good score. That is actually a horrible score. I have to maintain a 9-10 average or I'm effed. So in that sense, I need to explain the survey to…

Also, forgot to add, this won't make a damn difference. I earn my near perfect CSI scores, I don't negotiate with blackmailers.

As a salesperson, I sort of want to say fuck you- we are closely audited (at least for my brand) to make sure we do not coerce the customer into marking the survey a certain way, and as such I'd expect the customer to not coerce me either.

One thing I didn't see in the article- the store I work for has a pricing structure where we gradually lower the price over 60 days. Once the unit is here 60 days, we wholesale it if it isn't sold. So negotiating isn't always possible- like, I sold a pre-owned Miata the other day and our asking price was $80 more…

That thing will get you mad tail at The Villages, I bet

I see nothing wrong with Olympics, look at this real estate and how useful it is 30 years later:

I am something of a moron when it comes to mechanical devices, but last year, I had a Galaxy Nexus that the mini USB port broke on, so I couldnt charge it. I happened to have another Galaxy Nexus with a broken screen, so I took them both apart and yanked the USB port from the broken screen phone and installed it in…

Oh! Yes, I didn't think of that. Derp

Someone needs to introduce MB engineers to hitch mount bike racks.

Yes! Every year when I put on my winter tires, I'm like "YEAH BRING ON THE SNOW" but then my first day of commuting I'm like "Oh crap, I forgot that I can stop way better than the person behind me." I live in PA so there aren't a ton of people with winter tires.

I passed a stuck awd Volvo XC90 in my new-Blizzak-shod Odyssey going up a steep hill today. My feeling of smugness was strong

Daughter of Eve from the far land of Spare Oom where eternal summer reigns around the bright city of War Drobe, how would it be if you came and had tea with me?

These ramp-style carriers have been around since like the 60's at least. I remember when the UK first launched the Harrier it was carried by this type of ship.
