Should go to bed. Working tomorrow and then have an appointment to test drive a car early afternoon. Probably be too tired and crabby to decide. Car salesmen hate me as much as I hate them. Really nothing they say means **** to me. I usually really like the wheels or I don't...not much in between. And my accessory and color fussiness they just don't get.

And that's quite the statement coming from you.

Just tell them that the GT3RS doesn't look quite as good in any color other than orange.
Unless you were wanting to get this: http://jalopnik.com/the-2017-corvette-grand-sport-is-a-track-tastic-z06-wit-1762121837
In that case, I'd go with yellow.

You would be surprised how many people just come in and all you get out of them is they want a vehicle. That drove me nuts. They knew what color they liked, which was totally fine with me, but couldn't guide me with the sports car, luxury car, or something like that. Some would only want a certain brand, but you had to guess. Why I hated selling cars, besides the fact I wanted to be fair and not piddle around over 100 bucks.
I remember looking at cars for PapaLew a while back. We buy used; we're cheapazz. We tend to look at functionality more than bells and whistles. I have a deep-seated hatred for fancy shizz on cars because that's always what breaks down first and is ridiculously expensive to repair. I particularly despise electric adjustments on car seats.
We took a Lincoln Town Car for a test drive. The salesman went with us, and apparently was NOT listening to our conversation about engine and steering and ride and brakes, and kept point out the "neat stuff" on the car...like the five-disc CD changer in the trunk. He must have mentioned that at least 8 times...and we didn't give a crap about it the first time he mentioned it. We ended up buying the car (we named it Andre the Giant because it was a land yacht with a 4-body trunk) and for the entire time we owned it, we used to remind each other how special it was because it had a five-disc CD changer in the trunk.
Flip side - when we tell a salesman we're looking for a car for me, it really pisses me off when they talk over my head directly to PapaLew, and ask him what "we're" looking for. I know what features I want in a car, and it's not the "pretty things" that they always seem to think I want.
I may not know what specific model I want, but I'm very fussy about the driver's seat because I usually have to rack it so far forward to reach the pedals comfortably. I don't like deep dashes under the steering wheel because I crack my knees on them when the seat is forward. And some cars have the airbag design in the steering wheel set up so that I have to make a choice between reaching the pedals or having no room for my bewbs.
So when I get in a car, adjust the seat & say nope - don't tell my husband I haven't given it a chance yet. I don't care how great it drives if I'm uncomfortable driving it. Cars are not made for short women!
At your age, I'd think you'd be used to people talking over your head, shawty.
woof, that demoncore thread. If you spend half the thread arguing with people and trying to convince them that it IS funny..........it's not.
I like the burgers and the Cajun fries are good, but I think people do get a little too excited about it.
Yeah, that would be a disaster
I went and looked...yeah he did not make himself look good. I didn't actually watch the video, but when everyone else thinks it's either really offensive, or just really stupid, maybe that's a you problem.

My my mom is 4 10, so I've always considered driver placement important. I could never understand how people would be yes or no on a vehicle without sitting in it. I'm a function person, my pickups are barebones. Auto, air and cruise is what I want for options. (Besides the 3/4 ton and 4x4). I was a manager but worked the floor to learn and help.
When I buy a car I walk onto the lot knowing which car I am planning on buying. All they got to do is let me get down to the price I want and they have a sale.
I have never eaten at 5 Guys but I imagine it's like any other fast food chain. Everyone claims it's the greatest because they don't have it.

I try and be the same way to try and remove as much of the sleazy sales stuff as much as possible. It is incredibly easy nowadays to research and find cars online.
The nice thing about Five Guys is that it is fast food without feeling quite McDonaldsish. That and the quality is much better imo (granted you do pay for it).
It isn't really fast food as it is made while you wait. It isn't as good as the good "tavern" type burgers but it is good for a quick service place.
That's an expensive 5 Guys. I've figured out that with all the toppings, fries and the peanuts while you wait, that I can get by ordering a "Little Cheeseburger". It seems to do the trick.
