That Moo is a sly one with the ladies. Didn't he drive 30 miles to jump a female customer once?

GM has announced that they are ending their endorsement deal with Tiger Woods. When asked why, a GM spokesman said, Tiger Woods is successful, competitive, popular....and that's just not us.

We can whine about the situation, we can wring our hands over it, but the best thing to do is to have a little faith that things will get better. They always do, mainly because we live here, in a very priviledged country where there's plenty to be thankful for.
 
You are so right about that and you ought to know...having lost your job, damn near your life with a ruptured appendix and nearly your house. If you can keep your chin up that should not be a problem for the rest of us.
 
I'm looking forward to the family coming over in a little while. It's the little things that really count. We in this country are indeed very fortunate.
 
Thanks for the reminder.

"Of course some people do get nervous we are talking big money. When all is said and done people might shell out 30 grand or more over up to 6 years. Thats a big hunk of change especially in an economy where many wonder if they will be employed the whole year of 2009. "
 
For a Scion? no one in their right mind is going to pay 30 grand for a Scion.

Tired of selling cars.. by rogeliov

"The thing you have to take into consideration is that he does work at a "Toyota store"..... We have a 4 Toyota stores in my group..... they are all experiencing the smae issues this kid is talking about...."
 
That's what bothers me. In my area there's 7 Toyota stores within 15 minutes of each other. And I don't live in a mega city like Chicago. 3-4 UPS a day seems damn good. If they get twice as much when times are good we should all move to Chicago and sell Toyotas. He should be thankful he doesn't work at Longo Toyota here in El Monte CA. They are the largest Toyota dealers in the world! not just the US, THE WORLD! there was a big article in USATODAY on them quite a few years back. They employ something like 150 sales people, speak all languages, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish, and of course English and who knows what else. Back then, I think it was 2000 they sold over 1200 cars a month if I recall. Imagine what they do now.

alejandrom,
 
I don't think you are a troll as others have suggested. I think you are just burned out with this business and are coming here to vent and maybe seek support.
 
With a few exceptions, you will be treated with disdain in these forums and everything you say will be picked apart.
 
Inless a person has walked in our shoes they will have NO IDEA what our jobs are like. Give them six months in this business and they would be singing a different tune.
 
There are tremendous high and lows and unless you are able to deal with this, you are in the wrong business and your bitterness will only get worse.
