So much Yes to that.

Didn't save that M4 from careening over that curb when his tire was 1.5 psi underinflated.

A lot of people surprisingly. I sell to people all the time via texts and emails only.

Always Be Closing. Friggin priceless. I was impressed he held his cool so long and didn't give into childish name calling until the end.

Looks surprisingly like...A 911 from the back. I'd still take the Porsche.

My very first job in the car business was as a "service writer" at a small town Chevy store. Most of my job was getting VINs, mileages, moving cars often to the lifts, answering the phone and calling customers. Anyway there was a mechanic called "Cuz" (like the southern vernacular for cousin)who was married to the

There's A LOT of hidden costs here that you don't see that make this sort of thing not happen.

Seriously! This would pretty much put the majority of ECU tuners out of business. A couple legal battles and they're done. And people were bitching when manufacturers were denying/voiding warranties for ECU tunes, now they get this lol.

Wrong! Nothing says Status like a Stratus!

Dealers can often get a better rate than a consumer as they push a lot of paper. Few banks really get to be less. USAA is pretty strong if you're a member and I've seen a couple credit unions with just WTF cheap rates before. Like 1.75% for 72 months on a used car, that's WTF cheap.

YES So much this! I try to just hit everybody with things how it is. Sometimes it pisses people off and they don't understand the rationale behind things but hey at I least I was honest.

That could go two ways, the Xgames Xtreme lifestyle dude bro or the live in the basement eating Cheetos playing WoW...

Stick with Engineering. There's a TON of good jobs you can get. I know guys that work for tire companies, race teams, etc that all have engineering degrees. Follow the path!

The Porsche 911. Been around for forever and raced in everything from Dakar, to LeMans/WEC, and pretty much everything other than F1 and NASCAR.

Yes, here in the US of A there's a lot few manuals and honestly the R-tronic is not so great. Also people tend to pay up for nostalgia here.

Drove both. The V8 sounds great but straight line is lacking. Handles great but lacks the punch of the V10.

I sold several R8s in my career at Audi. I managed to get a considerable amount of wheel time for someone who 1. didn't own one or 2. work for corporate at one of the tracks. I have to say it really is a great car. Total sausage magnet too. You can't go anywhere without having people come up to ask questions or take

Can we get Jalopnik to do this for car sales people? You all have NO idea what it's like. I've worked restaurants, heck I was offered manager positions and said HELL No.

So let me get this right, the RSes are slower? Pretty sure the C6 RS6 was faster than E60 M5, the C5 RS6 was faster than the E39 M5. Here's where I think your confusion lies. Audi used to launch RS cars at the end of their platform's life cycle so within a year the competitors launched something else. And we all know

I thought ES was a Camry? And the GS was a rear drive Avalon?
