Oh really...you want me to buy a car from you?


  • Me:  "This van smells like smoke."  Salesman:  "No, that is just how all Toyota interior smells."  Me: Pointing out cigarette burns in the seat.  Salesman:  speechless.

  • Me:  "It seems to make a funny noise when idling."  Salesman:  "That is the newer, better engine on the 08 model."  Me: "Then I don't want the newer, better 08 model."  thanks.

  • Salesman:  "People seem to be so fussy when they are looking for a new car.  But after they drive it a week or so, the noises and concerns don't bother them."  Me:  see-ya.

Isn't car shopping right up there with getting your toe-nails pulled out by pliers?

Salesman: "People seem to be so fussy when they are looking for a new car. But after they drive it a week or so, the noises and concerns don't bother them."

Me: "That is probably due to the fact that us people seem to take out large loans to pay for new cars...don't you think we should be pretty fussy about what we spend all that money for?"

That being said....the hispanic dude who pulled $4,000 bones (cash) our of his pockets on the sidewalk and offered it to me...no questions asked was pretty enticing.

out of his pockets...I don't know how you pull something our of your pocket...

Are you really caving in to the Utah norm and getting a mini-van? Say it isn't so!!
