And I repeat what I wrote somewhere several pages back, that the manufacturer doesn't really care if you buy this car, and the dealership doesn't want to sell you this car. It's a niche vehicle, and the manufacturer knows they're going to sell what they build whether you get a chance to test drive it or not. The dealership doesn't really want it on the lot because it's low margin without a lot of upselling opportunities.
Thus whining about it still doesn't do any good, since nobody you whine to will really care.

Not at all. If he doesn't have sufficient interest in the car to make the trip to drive it, that's fine. He can
not test drive the car and move on to something else, and none of us would ever even have to know. Every day there are people who don't test drive this car, and we never hear about them.
What makes it whining is that instead of just moving on to something else, he came onto a board full of people who have much higher than average interest in the car and complained about it. People tried to give him alternate solutions, but he complained about those also. People tried to explain that the niche market at which this car is aimed would travel much further than he would have to in order to test drive the car, but he just complained that he shouldn't have to hold that level of interest to be provided the opportunity to drive it.
Complain, complain, complain.
Whining.

On the contrary. I assumed his interest in the car was so weak that it wasn't really in his interest to go drive it. What I didn't understand was, if he's not really that interested in the car, why was he complaining about it? And why to people who actually do like the car?
