Most salesmen here seem to have a much higher tolerance for abuse than you...pretty much have to be bludgeoned with a hammer to give up on a deal.
 
Can't say I blame ya walking away, with that heat the way it was.

Bob,
 
In almost eleven years I have never had a customer tell me that. If a customer were to ever tell me that, I would comply with his wishes but I would have absoultly no desire whatever to sell him a car.
 
And he would know that immediatly. NOBODY should be that rude to say that to anybody!
 
Now, I watch my customers and I listen to them. I tailor my conversation to them. If they are silent, so am I. If they are friendly and talkative (as most are)I can be chatty but not overally so.

I can't condone it................but I can't honestly say I wouldn't have taken pleasure from doing the same.
 
However, I won't even try to hold a conversation with someone who's on the phone to someone else. Either give me all of your attention or none of it!

LOL, good one, you were way too nice to the idiot on the cell phone. Can we post stories about rude people on cell phones? My favorite is the time the wife and I were at the movies and the lady sitting in front of us takes a call during the movie and starts talking WITH THE SPEAKER ON.
 
Sorry for going off topic, I'm done.

Isell, which president could not walk down the street and chew gum at the same time?
 
I am like that. I can only concentrate on one thing at a time and I get distracted easily.
 
Before we buy a car, I read about the car in Edmunds and make a list of the most common problems that people mention. When we go for a test drive, we make sure the car does not have those problems and we try to be aware of any other problems.
 
If the sales person says anything, it throws off my concentration and might cause us to miss something. Therefore, the sales person must stay absolutely quiet.
 
Oh yeah, it was Gerald Ford. At least that's what people used to say.

The picture resembles a Rover sedan out of the 60's. Am I right?

It's a Rover (P6) 3500 which ran from the late 60's to the mid 70's. The only thing it had in common to Land Rovers is the alloy 3.5 V8 engine, which originated from Buick.
 
I've never seen the export version before, and I can't say I'm enamored by the hood scoops, but it was a pretty advanced car at the time, both in construction and appearance..........fast too, with good acceleration and a 120mph top speed.

I don't care, bobst. That would still be very rude thing to say and do.
