Topic: Interesting things seen on the way to work thread

Just saw a Harley that was rear ended at lights. Guy looked pissed. Surprised he was walking

I can imagine - pissed and hopped up on adrenaline after that I'm sure.  Lucky guy.

Not exactly on my way to work but close enough, anyway, it looks summer vacation time period is on:

a T-Rex (3 wheelers) towing a sea-doo (jet ski) !! I didn't even know this thing can tow... funny.

That's it, I'm getting Genesis badges for my Sonata.

On the C30 owners FB page everyone jokes about putting M and AMG badges on their cars.

Saw a stepside Tacoma yesterday. Forgot those even existed, can't remember the last time I saw one.

Probably not the most practical, but I thought it looked sharp. 1,000 times better looking than the predator-faced cartoon thing they sell today.

Western Canada Lottery Corporation has a new scratch ticket where the top prize is a C8 or $100,000.  Tickets are $5 each.

Had to stop at my neighbourhood plaza and saw the carnage of a 3 car accident. I'd actually call it a serious accident considering it was in a parking lot and two of the three cars had major damage while the third had minor. Somebody really up.

We often say all the electronic nannies make cars expensive, heavy and unreliable but this is the kind of thing where having them would save the drivers a LOT of money and frustration.

Some passionate Hyundai owners braving the +33* heat to make their point. Right across the street from the Hyundai dealership lol. Also saw a Lamborghini LM002 going down the 97, wife couldn’t get a pic of that one.

Go back to talk to them!

Whenever I see someone outside of a dealership doing that, I have to think, how badly the dealer must have pissed them off to drive them to do something like that. Oh, and with the possible handful of people they drive away, how much money are you losing?? Its probably less than it take to make them happy.

There was a doozy going on on our FB community page. Grand Caravan owner brings broken van in for the umteenth time for a power sliding door issue. Dealer gives her a loaner with no gas in it, tells her to throw $20 in the tank. This sets the frustrated broken van owner off and she posted her displeasure on FB. General manager steps in post and solidly inserts his foot in his mouth, this generates DOZENS of other unhappy customers to chime in. It was quite the read. The GM deleted all his comments and hid away lol, trust me, he was a real jackass.

I wanted to. Looked like he had a list of problems with his car. Must be pretty darn mad to spend the day doing this. I'm back in Kelowna tomorrow, interested to see if they're still there.

This reminds me of when I had my first job at a Honda dealership, we were across the street from a Dodge store. One Saturday a bunch of Caravans parked across the street with yellow lemons on their roofs. Most were all mad about transmission failures. The Honda salesguys were having a ball watching this happen!

Seeing a dealer post like that spiral out of control is quite the thing to see. Most people are not fans of car dealers to begin with so when you get an ignorant employee that pipes up, its like throwing chum to sharks. I don't own a dealer, but with social media today, it really pays off to not people off for petty .

Brutal. Although on the other hand some people are lunatics and demand unreasonable things. Two sides to every story.

Most of the people I've seen on the 6 o'clock troubleshooter thing have a very legitimate claim that the dealer is trying to weasel their way out of. MOST...some are just good ol' fashioned, Kanye West, cray cray.
