Why is the giving of interviews immediately after the competition a necessity?

Y’all help me understand this. Why not just buy them online? I’m sure I’m missing something, but Amazon has them new, and you don’t have to deal with people like this. But I’m sure I’m missing something ... or maybe not.

“The press” is a big vague and sweeping. The tabloid press seems a little more accurate in this case. Those barrel scrapers are responsible.

I’m not sure that’s how it works. If you agree to something that doesn’t obligate you to make a purchase how do they have a sucker?

I’m curious about the dealer wanting the customer to agree to a $10,000 markup before a test drive. I mean, they hadn’t agreed to buy the car, so you have $0 leverage by getting them to “agree” to that. It’s meaningless and just ruins the opportunity for business.

Okay, I had to look it up to see if my memory served. It’s better than I recall, and I ain’t that young either.

They cut Cans! Bricks! Bones! You can even saw your in-laws in half!

I got a set of steak knives!

Interesting.

That’s a fine point. So the difference must be the power dynamic.

Well you know, coffee is for closers, soooo...

Hmmm.... I didn’t read Tom say anyone was extorting anyone.

Yeah, “only” is probably the wrong word, since it was definitely enough for me. Also, the car was about handling. Today, my WRX is 268HP turbo, and that’s more than only enough.

Ha! You’re right. To each their own ... You could work on them too, and with the head gasket problem that was a good thing. I could take on-ramps at 80 without even thinking about slowing down. I also beat more than one car off the “line” at the stop light. The interiors were not made of the highest-quality material,…

Oh yeah, I wouldn’t have even considered that one. Those two extra gears and the extra pedal made quite a bit of difference.

Dang it’s a stick shift too.

This is true. Sometimes the dealerships aren’t prepared. We’ve been trying to get a recall done on a Toyota Rav4 for at least six months now. It’s a problem with paint bubbling and peeling, and it’s nearly on every part of the vehicle.

OH! Then forget about it. boooooooooooooooooring!

Interesting. The Nissan Leaf is probably the only EV I’d consider. It was one of the earliest success stories, and I generally like the funky look. I think it would be great for running around town locally. ... except that’s why my 1997 Dodge Dakota is for.

You don’t stand and wait by your car.
