A vole is a small rodent resembling a mouse but with a stouter body, a shorter hairy tail, a slightly rounder head, and smaller ears and eyes.
 
In other words, ICK.

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.
 
First of all I never slammed anyone for making a profit big or small. Its the contradictory statements that sales people on this forum make that get you slammed.

Firstly, when you start out a comment with "First of all", you need have at LEAST a second comment. Together, we're going to get your grammar up to par.
 
Secondly, have you ever noticed that you never seem to answer questions that are directed at you? You only point fingers and then fade away when faced with a decent adversary. Please do us all a favor and think before you type. Your posts are riddled with contradictory statements. Most of the time, we just let them slide.
 
Thanks for playing, Snake.

Why does anyone here feel the need to "slam" someone?

"On demo drives, I tend to keep people on a pretty tight leash. I won't put up with people who do dumb or dangerous things."
 
isell--the honda salesman at my local dealership went with me to test drive the Civic SI sedan. He drove it first--and pretty irresponsibly if you ask me. He was a young guy and trying to impress me I guess. It is a car that is hard to drive without pushing the rpms. In the end a bit too much car for me.
 
I also drove the Mazdaspeed3. The (young) salesman wasn't going to let me because his GM didn't want anyone taking it for "joy rides". I guess they determined I was a serious customer and relented. As the salesman is testing it first he blows out of the lot and up to 60mph on a narrow two lane in the bat of an eye. While he's flooring it he says, "yeah, we've had two customers and the GM himself wreck a couple of mazdaspeed6s and an RX8 on test drives in the last year or two!" As I drove the car back to the dealership I realized that the car would turn me into a crazed adrenaline junkie w/plenty of tickets in short order. I opted for a much more restrained middle trim Mazda3, 5 door, over the Civic mostly because of the hatchback. Some cars just invite a level of lunacy. I don't envy any salesperson who goes on regular test drives of fast cars.

Lol,
 
Snake is my personal whipping boy. At least we've got some fresh stories kicking up. You like 'em?

I avoid the SI and S-2000 people for that very reason. I give those leads to my guys. I don't have the patience and I admit, I scare easily.

Yeah, I pulled a car out of winter storage a couple of years ago and turned the key and got sputtering but not starting. The rats/mice ate though 2 plug wires. The other good time was when I pulled the RX7 out of storage and got it to fire with the choke all the way out and my foot on the floor.
I thought the car had backfired but it shot a rodent out of the exhaust system. My guess was he was living in the muffler getting lung disease.
