That's a fookin healthy-soundin motor.

I just read all the posts in this thread and the overwhelming sentiment I detected from the self-proclaimed F1 fans is one of elitism and self-superiority while deriding and denigrating NASCAR fans and the sport.

Interesting points but mostly wrong and a terrible conclusion. Sorry. You're hard on NASCAR, I'm hard on your point of view.

Agreed. That's why I get a new Cadillac every year. They change their look every year.

Like most folks here, I am not sad to see the show die. None of the three presenters were compelling enough to make me a regular viewer and supporter.

So, "montego" is the password for action? I'm gonna have to try that on dollar drink night at the club. See what kind of action I can get with a password and 5 bucks.

There is one person who isn't crying......

I've sold 4 "Christmas" cars this month. None new, all used, but fellow salespersons have had several new cars sold as gifts.

Take a tip from Nancy Reagan - Just Say No.

Good Lord, is this true or what?

The only sales idiot that would do this is one who doesn't care about his income or will soon be fired for lack of performance. Women buy over 50% of the cars sold in the US, and influence over 80% of the purchases.

Good, basic advice but only applies to a very small percentage of customers.

That's possible. And whether the spread is $800 or $450 or whatever, the point is buyers who wait to buy an extended warranty will very likely pay more for it. Why do that at all when the warranty can be canceled and refunded?

Two issues with this piece of advice:

As a fellow car salesperson, thanks for your post. I hope Jalops read it and take it to heart.

"....and remember, Jesus saves but George Nelson withdraws!"

Sup, Austin bitches....

If GT500 buyers cared what the average person thought, they'd buy a Lexus or BMW or other superficial status symbol. As someone who deals with the average car buying person daily, I can tell you they know nothing about cars beyond the brand, the color, and if it looks new. Who cares if they get it or not?

Slow? My boss had a later XR4Ti and it could hit 130 on I-15 headed toward Vegas. So maybe not all that slow. How about Not Quick?
