I could spend all day finding things wrong with the world or I can look for the beauty around me. I chose to be positive and live my life with a smile on my face while I still can. I pitty anyone that can't smile.Greg Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01925817439493420666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890086592337310125.post-79043060619627167952007-07-25T20:06:00.000-07:002007-07-25T20:06:00.000-07:00gregra&gar, you sound like a really fun guy! maybe...gregra&gar, you sound like a really fun guy! maybe we can hang out sometime, go look at some used trucks or something, I've been checking out this hummer thing, gets about 2 miles to the gallon, but boy is it loaded!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564763971316563540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890086592337310125.post-35990118020360420112007-07-25T06:48:00.000-07:002007-07-25T06:48:00.000-07:00I'm not sure who is more irritating, car salesmen ...I'm not sure who is more irritating, car salesmen or car buyers. I'm sure the loud mouthed comedian salesmen think they are as funny as you think this post is. What is really bothering automobile worshipers is knowing they are choosing a model of death wish, environment polluting, isolation chamber transportation that costs more than a child and a half to maintain rather than support and use public transportation. It is so much easer to bitch about the addiction than cure it.Yodoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09244765916380830711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890086592337310125.post-49578062813796838772007-07-21T16:57:00.000-07:002007-07-21T16:57:00.000-07:00*snickers* The hubby and I went in to look at a t...*snickers* The hubby and I went in to look at a truck a couple of years back, and we played "good cop/bad cop" with the sales guy. The hubby being the one who was just in awe over this truck, and me the one who KNEW we couldn't afford it for nearly what they were asking. The real irony was that we didn't go in intending to buy the truck, we really couldn't afford it, but the hubby wanted to look, and got suckered into sitting down for negotiations. I wasn't TRYING to play "bad cop" to the hubby's god cop. They kept asking what it would take for us to walk out the door with that truck, and I was insistent that at most we could afford $1000 down, with trade-in, but that we couldn't afford more than $250 a month in payments. And I was of the opinion at that point that we didn't need THAT truck anyway (it did turn out to be a lemon, too, but the engine on DH's old truck was also about ready to go, and we did want to get rid of it before it became unsalable). The sales-guy kept trying to get me to go up by $100 a month, and I must've said a dozen times that no, there's no sense in us bothering with this truck because we can't afford it at your price anyway, and you won't come down as much as we need you to, so let's just go home. We ended up getting the truck at $260 a month, instead of the $350 a month they dealership origionally wanted. 2 years later, it was totaled as this HS-er pulled out in front of my husband at an intersection as DH was pulling past the stop-sign that the kid didn't stop for. Both cars were totaled, it was the kid's fault, and we ended up with a much better truck in the bargain. *grin*<BR/><BR/>Some VERY good advice there, Greg. You'd have hated some of the commercials we've had from one dealership in our town. The owner was of the opinion that he was one of the best-looking guys in town, and kept doing these cheesy commercial knock-offs of current movies. (Robin Hood, when Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was a brand-new movie; Matrix; and so many others I can't recall.) It was horrid, and the guy had to play the lead in each of the commercials, and he was BAD! (Not good bad, just BAD!) LOL It's funny now, but dang we all hated them.

Maybe not if your a guy, I don't know, but, for me, it really worked one time, but then they really upset me so much I was in tears. All about some ex-tended warranty plan.<BR/><BR/>Usually they have some sexy blonde standing beside the car, like they're saying if you buy the car she comes with it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17564763971316563540noreply@blogger.com
