that cuts half inch long, nearly to the bone deep slash in my pointer finger.
  
Now I am bleeding all over the place but amazingly have not gotten it on her car.

 
The next time hold your finger high in the air over your head. The heart (and, of course, I'm assuming car dealers have a heart ) won't be pumping hardly any blood up that high...and you will have virtually no, or very little, bleeding even though the fingers are quite vascular.

It was reported on the news this AM that a guy with a pet snake rented a car. When he came back to the car after a business stop he couldn't find the snake in the car and assumed it was stolen...and reported same to police.
 
Two weeks later when a kid at the car rental angency was cleaning out the car he opened the glove box and the snake wiggled out.
 
No doubt the kid is still drying out his pants.

Yeah, yeah I know that. I was holding my hand a little above shoulder level and should have been holding it higher.

Rockfish, as the story is reported, no thats not legal to sign a persons name to a contract. But as in most cases there are two sides to all storys. But the towing the car to the house and dropping it off is over the edge.
 
There is a Local used car franchise here that in its hay day was notorious for doing everything that your not supposed to do. Forgery, bogus apps, wrecked cars, odometer roll back, the whole 9 yards. When I was in sales if you saw a car pull up with there name plate on there car you did your best not to be the one to greet them. They could clear the bench in 10 seconds.
 
Anyhow the story goes that a guy bought a truck from them, after a few days he figured out that they absolutley slayed him and that the truck had major problems. He takes it back and tells them to keep it. They tell him it is his truck, he says BS, and leaves the truck.
 
So they take his truck and park it in the turn lane of the very busy road in front of there dealership and call the police.
 
Over the years these guys have gone from having like 8 different stores to now having one small one. Hmmm wonder why

Cut to the bone and still tried to make the sale. You salesmen are tougher than I thought. Your boss oughta give you some type of purple colored medal.
 
But, you really should have someone take a look at that finger and maybe get a tetnus shot... if you haven't already done so.
 
Glad to see you're posting again.

Rats.
 
The shop has had to deal with a lot of rat damage lately. They crawl under the hood and eat wiring. They can cause a lot of very expensive damage.
 
Often, the rat is still there. One of our guys was bitten recently. He made the dumb mistake of picking it up by it's tail.

My mom had a vole living in her car once. The thing had actually stored corn kernels under a mat in the trunk.

But the simple truth is there is no right to make a profit
 
Here we go again - we have no right to make a profit - yet (and let me add legally done) you slam us if we make a big profit. If you think one price is the answer, why don't all accountants charge the same?
