Because intentionally walking into a retail facility right before close and forcing the employees to stay over after working a 12 hour shift makes you a bad person? I’m glad you got a good deal. I doubt it was because you kept some poor schmuck from being able to kiss his kids good night.

Wow. Please don’t use this as a strategy.
Why on earth would you think that keeping people past closing time gets you a better deal?
Working at a dealership is a fantastic job where you can earn very high at even an entry level without a huge college investment. It’s not an easy job, but it’s not digging ditches either. The main problem I see with hiring the next generation of dealership employees is that they object to the hours. More and more…
I tend to think this is the case. Some bullshit folklore urban legend about leaving your hood up while idling for long periods to prevent overheating made it into the culture of the department. People believe crazy stupid shit if they’ve heard it enough times, and will defend it to the end, just like this dumbass that…
Most GM dealers after the BK are paired up as either BUICK/GMC or CHEVY/CADILLAC. Chevys are high volume, caddies are not. So maybe they’re selling 30 Chevs and 4 Caddies per month, plus at least that many used cars. That’s not a bad volume for a smallish store.
I could read that cover-to-cover and then just start all over when I was done.
“You know we’re going to break the embargo and release this interview early, right? DRIVE FREE OR DIE!!!”
Exactly. I cannot ever see myself driving one of these for that reason. I’m sure it’s got great tech and is a perfectly fine automobile. But...look at it!
He did! I didn’t even catch that.
The first half of the article was literally a disclaimer that he pretty much knows he’s not getting any Star Trek facts right. I feel like he should have just written about the interesting car, and left out the “only alien-made car” sensationalist headline crap that he knew he couldn’t stand behind even as he was…
CP for the speaker grill covers alone.
That's about an hour from my house. I'll pick anyone up at the airport if you let me drive it for a bit.
Exactly the line of thought that went through my own head.
Some day we’ll be just as baffled that we used to put explosive devices into cars for safety as we now are that shoe stores once used unshielded X Ray machines to fit shoes.
An article that speaks of dealerships in a favorable manner, as if they’re people too? I especially like the term “Beetle-Pushers.”
I’m ok with him breaking the window, and I’m ok with them paying for it too. Some things just aren’t worth fighting over... replace the window, shake your head, and hope things start going better for the gal.
Do they all look like not-quite-ready-for-primetime fetuses?
UGH! But you can see the overspray on the driver’s door. “Painted with Dupli-Color CustomWrap” That’s not a wrap, that’s a rattle can job. No way you ever get that crap completely off.
