Along with the stick you get a whole lot of old-school industrial design, things like external door hinges, a flat windscreen, and flip-up side glass. Also, if I recall correctly, the stereo - an AM/FM/Cassette unit - is able to be slid out from its under-dash position and used to power a party on the outside of the…

I noticed this when I stayed at the Flamingo in Las Vegas. All the common areas smell like coconut.

They're gonna drive me to drinkin' if they don't build a hot rod Lincoln.

I want a set of these wheels for my 1987 Pulsar.

Clamshell all the things.

I also love the "costs $1000 more than all the other ones on the market because it's got a rebuilt transmission."

The Nissan Pulsar NX.

Merry Christmas! Shitter was full!

I didn't say it was only the customers, but this thread was about customers.

A couple of crazy test drive stories.

We had a juiced-up Ford Explorer Sport Trac in stock, apparently a very rare package/color combo. I took a phone call from a guy named Juan in Texas who wanted the car. He said he wanted the car and was going to send us a deposit, then drive out to pick it up later. I told him, okay, but the car isn't on hold until we…

Customers are WAY worse than the salespeople. Unless you're thinking of one of those little fly by night used car places, those are bloody awful.

I once got to deliver a Wrangler to the home of someone widely considered to be one of the greatest pro hockey players of all time. For privacy reasons I won't name him here.

This gap does not look like it's supposed to be there.

The Lotus Carlton. It was the fastest production sedan in the world when it was made, but I'm sure is far from the top nowadays. 0-60 in 5.2 seconds (faster than a Ferrari Testarossa). Top speed of almost 180mph. Only available in British Racing Green.

Businesses make billions of dollars through social media advertising. It's based on impulse buying. Hip young person whips out their phone while riding on the bus, sees an ad for Starbucks with multiple friends' likes attached to it, thinks to themselves "hmmm, I really could go for an iced coffee." Then when they get…

It's not entirely the kids' fault though.

Car shopper: "I need a family vehicle with seating for 4 that can tow my boat."

Neutral: Millennials aren't buying cars because they're unemployed/underemployed and buried in debt.
