same reason v8 muscle cars never sold much over there. i think it more comes down to how much vehicles cost and are taxed. car enthusiasts are everywhere, but external forces like tax rates tend to determine which vehicles are ultimately most popular.

He knew enough about the specific cars he sold to have a conversation, but mostly he just nodded, listened and reinforced what the buyer was saying. If he didn't know an answer, he would get a mechanic to come explain. He always answered his phone, and always followed up. The last year he worked he was still sending holiday cards (the appropriate one based on the Religion of the buyer, or at least his guess). He had customers follow him from state-to-state to buy cars. In fact, the last month he sold cars before retiring he sold a car to the daughter of the first person he ever sold a car to on his first day as a salesman. She called him from Maryland and drove her trade-in to Atlanta to pick up the Odyssey she bought over the phone. He knew buckus about cars but he knew how to sell.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve read today, and I saw tweets about gas stoves.
Never ever trust a salesman. I’m impressed when they know how to open the trunk, they don’t get told shit. |
