hahaha sorry I know you didn't mean it that way!

The amount of people that come in to look at the FR-S are so skeptical to talk to me because they spoke to other salesman that just didn't know anything about the car or had someone tried to strong arm them into it.

I pretty much had to hire a marching band, get a skywriter and take out an ad to get a salesperson's attention when I was looking. Their explanation was "we get so many people looking that aren't really going to buy we just gave up asking".
Once I did get to talk to them I gave them all the info as they didn't know a thing.

A while back I was at the Palm Springs Scion Dealership. Several young salesmen came out to look at my car. I popped the hood, and one of them said, "hey, that's got a Subaru motor in it?" This is a Scion Salesman, I looked at him and said you got to be kidding me.

Once had a customer tell me another salesman told him it had a H6 motor turbo from the factory. Was a pain to explain to him that salesman was very misinformed.

When I was out in Michigan at college last year (senior year), I looked at the 2014s and a salesman told me they hadn't been crash tested yet. I googled it. They of course had been. He didn't believe me. He was their senior salesman.

When I test drove both the manual and the automatic, he told me the latter had a DSG, and when I put it into the manumatic mode he told me not to do that too much because it's bad for the transmission.

I could not contain my laughter.

Received my rebadging package after a one-week wait from Nigel JDM, despite them making me pay for next-day shipping. I thought I was going to post here that I rebadged, but instead I opened it and it was a set of german fog lights.... so that was disappointing. Anyone deal with their customer service before? I'm kinda mad that they didn't even at least do the 1-day with the wrong item... lol.

I also ran into my arch nemesis while out Christmas shopping:



(For those wondering, my new phone is too big for the phone mount. Gotta get a new one...)

Washed the car out in the rain.

Just splashed it with the foam cannon. Let it soak for a little and hit it with the power washer.

Damn winter

I am just jealous he has a garage period!
Gotta get a pic of my buddy's garage sometime. He sells high end kitchen cabinets (really high end) and used his out of date sample cabinets in his garage. He has wall to wall cherry wood cabinets and marble workbench tops. The place looks like a 5 star hotel lobby.
