I say your labels are exclusionary and wrong.

The world moves on without you and your feathery brethren.

Honestly it’s not even a debatable give and take. The statistics bear it out, cops doing traffic stops get hit a shitload more often than they get shot. The only reason to even entertain the “easier to shoot” narrative is the same completely fictitious “war on cops” excuse they use to buy armored vehicles and swat…

Graphene. Or nanotubes. When it comes to materials science, the answer is always graphene or nanotubes.

Yeah, it must be totally unfamiliar for VW dealers to be doing business with an organization that doesn’t care about their satisfaction and will lie to their faces if it means making a few bucks.

my time to shine!!! I worked for *INSERT OEM HERE* as a release engineer for weatherstrips, and DLO’s those chrome strips around the windows are not so easy to change color, they aren’t like a bumper, or insert on the side of the car. they are almost always stainless steel or aluminum usually stretch-bent or stamped.…

Even my GTI is not a great family car if it is my primary family transport. It works in a pinch.

Eh, the truck is going to be fine

He obviously found great joy in it and came hear to relate the story of papa’s triumph and be hoisted upon the shoulders of the masses. Even after the initial backfire, he doubled down in case we missed the first time how awesome that day was, and how blue collar daddy stuck it to the man. I hope my son idolizes me so…

No. I’m not wrong... I negotiate every fucking day. It’s my job. I know how to negotiate.

My dad is a blue collar guy who worked his ass off for 35 years. And he doesn’t treat sales people like shit because their bosses decided to markup a high demand car.

where do I send my invoice for reading this?

Good for him. That was still rude to do to someone you didn’t know, hadn’t spoken to, and did nothing to you, and it doesn’t make sense that you think it was justified and praiseworthy. If you can’t get that through your head, I have nothing further to say.

If your time was worth $1K per minute, you would have walked away before the salesman got there.

Now while I agree that salespeople can be sleazy and conniving, you should realize that the markup would have been set at the management level. A salesman is just the agent. I’m a bit disturbed that you and your father found pleasure in seeing the salesman “[walk] away with his tail between his legs,” as opposed to…

Dealers tell customers they have specific cars in stock at specific prices all the time though, regardless of whether or not they actually do, and then try and sell them more expensive versions when they get them on the lot. Tesla refunded the deposit without fuss and without loss on this guy’s end other than some…

Thank you. The Nordstrom’s model only works if you are selling fucking clothing with a 300% markup.

You can’t drop double your margin on a single car to make a random dude who wasn’t even willing to buy at full price in the first place happy.

Thank god people like me, people smart enough to realize that dumping $20,000 worth of goods on a customer because they made a lot of noise is not a good business model are in charge of customer service at most companies.

If I were him I’d be pissed too but things just don’t work that way. You don’t drop $20k on a clerical error that didn’t actually cost anyone money, especially not when that person is being disingenuous and telling people that they “stole” his car when they did nothing of the sort.
