My first true love was an ‘87 black on black Conquest TSi. My heart still stops every time I see one, I can’t not vote NP even if it is automatic.

Not just mousebelts–TURBO mousebelts.

“I ended up not buying the car just out of sheer frustration.”

I had this same experience. I ended up with a WRX from a different dealership. 

Isn’t a 4-cyl Supra a Celica?

I guess there’s more room in the back of a Mazda than I thought..

Starred for the size of that salesman’s balls.

Haha, when I was test driving a Civic, I mentioned the MANUAL shifter was nice and smooth. He told me “that’s the CVT!”. Then when we got back to the dealership, he asked me to park the car in the lot because he hadn’t learned to drive stick yet.

9 AM, CADILLAC SHOWROOM. Man walks in and has 30 min to buy a car, as a trained sales person, i know it’s impossible, but figure, whatever, he’s a liar. Pick a car out, get a copy of the DL and head out for the test dive. Whatever drugs he took earlier must have kicked in during the test drive, we tested the devilles…

I was probably 14 or 15 riding in the back seat with the salesman, while my sister test drove a Mazda Mx6 (I think?). My Dad was in the front seat pushing my sister to drive the car harder. She did. We spun across multiple lanes of a major interstate and then back across them before just baaarely scraping the wall…

Car Buyer here. Worst test drive I’ve ever been on was a test drive in a lightly used BRZ. The salesman had ZERO idea about the car and I had to correct him as I was trying to concentrate on driving and how the car felt.

His tunnel boring machine must have hit a major breakthrough, given the rate at which he is digging himself in a hole.

Astute point. But remember logic is irrelevant in The Future™

This was his response to me, LOL. Never heard the word “metric” used as an insult before. Serious anger issues with that one.

Close. It was actually Franzzzzzzz Zzzzzzzimmer.

There’s a weird bit of Schadenfreude going on here...watching Harley flounder around when you know damn well it was their buying demographic that voted for this economic A-bomb of a president.

This might be a simplistic take on things, but I think it was hubris that set Harley down their current road. They assumed, wrongly, that their bread-and-butter market of affluent suburbanites would keep buying “hogs” forever. For a number of reasons, this turned out not to be true. For whatever reason, they spun down…

Wait, you own an S2?  Man, that’s totally fascinating and weird at the same time.  I mean, the bike, not the fact that you own one.
