Yup - thats me. I've been dealing with many of you self righteous, arrogant, self important, disrespectful, condescending, assholes for about fifteen years now. We sales guys get the bad rap for misrepresenting, lying, bait and switching, etc. etc. by all of you big shot wanna bes. Most of you have lied to me about the value of your trade in, your payoff, your financial status, your income, your debt., your credit score, and your job status. But thats o.k. - we're the crooks. Yup - just like the "suit" I waited on the other day. Guy makes $300k/yr. and is maxed out on every credit card and his debt to income ratio prevents this bonehead from getting a loan. This yahoo is arguing over $75 on a $50k truck that he can't get a loan for. His trade in "which has never been in an accident" - has had significant frame work ($12k range) and should have been totalled by his insurance carrier. -

Our society and economy is in trouble because every one of you hypocrites can justify the value of your services, careers, and incomes, yet are quick to discredit anyone elses chance to earn a living and support their family. Each of you is selling something, overstating and misrepresenting the importance of what you're selling. twisting/manipulating the truth, and withholding information. Ever hear the term "live and let live" - point that judgemental, self righteous finger at yourself once in a while. Yup - you're hearing it from a scumbag like me. Shame on you !

Now, can I interest you in a cream puff with low miles that was only driven to church by a sweet grandma?

Maybe you all have already seen this, but I hadn't. This is NUTS. The Porsches with the low center of gravity do a lot better in the rollover department. The drivers are no better.

The 914 at the 6:20 mark (right after the big fire) is the only one who paid attention to his DE instructor.
