My close friend Ray has a Viper. That thing BBQs my leg everytime I drive it. And I mean from the INSIDE...the tunnel specifically. Was that a normal flaw of that car? (While we're on the subject of Vipers)
The early Vipers (like mine) were all like that. In addition to the sidepipes being where they were, the heat insulation in the tranny tunnel was a joke. I loved my Viper, but man, what a useless car. Couldn't carry anything. Couldn't drive it in winter. Couldn't park it anywhere without new paw prints all over it. Couldn't drive anywhere without the police watching you. Oh, and some of the early ones had flawed fiberglass sealer in the hood. It could never be 100% fixed. A new hood was a $13,000.00 touch. Luckily, it was warrantied.
Sorry, we digress. No more talk of Vipers, car salesmen or appreciation (after my response to Cord).
So despite the smiley in my response you take it to heart and go off the deep end. Oh well.
Perhaps I did and admit I should have toned it down a bit. Let me explain .... In my lifetime, I have purchased 33 new vehicles. In all of those purchases, with the exception of maybe 1 or 2, the salesmen involved attempted to lie, deceive, and exaggerate to get the sale. In some cases, I was outright cheated. And in a couple of instances, I was stupid enough to send them referrals and those people, too, were lied to and deceived and ended up with a disappointing sales experience. As you can see, smilie or no smilie, I wasn't in the mood to take your comment kindly.
Perhaps you are a better example of your trade. I have 2 friends who are new car sales managers. They tell me things about their business that would curl most people's hair. I wasn't at all surprised. This doesn't mean they aren't my friends. Only when they put on their car sales "hat", that I can't believe a word they say. Maybe you'll prove me wrong.
