Agreed. And not to segway off the subject too far, but my experience with most stealerships have been condescending and pretentious since I started buying cars back in the early 90's with no improvements whatsoever.

I don't understand why. Especially since we now have an infinite amount of unbiased information available to nearly everyone thanks to the internet. There's no reason for the lies and deceit.

Also, I've met my share of rather wealthy celebrities while working for a major airline, and most of them are very kind and dressed comfortably and casual when flying - you'd never expect their income by looking at them. I don't see a reason why any business should treat someone wrongfully just because of their appearance. That's just poor work ethics on the salesmen's part.

the other dealer offered to pull out the showroom car for a test drive(had 3 on the lot even) as soon as i expressed interest in it, and then gave me the keys, saying "i'm sure you know more about this car than i do, so take it for a spin, let me know what you think"...

I'm kind of a warming up to the Supra myself. Especially so now that they are bumping power up later much to the dismay of early adopters.
I'm about to do a couple things soon that may make buying one or something similar like a C8 a fairly easy purchase. If I decide to go the Supra way
I want to pull a "Pretty Woman" on them. Go back into that dealer and say "remember me....big mistake! big! huge!" like Julia Roberts did and walk out.

Just stick a sign that says "I could have been a potential customer!" on top of your car, and make sure to stick a big middle finger near it for good measure. Drive around the entire lot and see how many glances you get.

Fixed. Jonas Brothers aren't too bad when not making shit for Disney.

You know what, me neither. Maybe just stick a sign that says "Fortnite Event: Free Ninja signing." Kids these days love Fortnite and Twitch streamers.

This will probably get parents to look at Toyotas, but it will probably drive away enthusiasts to other dealers. Win-win for everybody.

hmmm.....I really don't know -

Since they are "plugged in" to their devices, I can't hear what they are playing -if anything.
