You would be fucking surprised. Trust me on this.

I was in sales for 24 years and the very knowledgeable salesperson is the exception rather than the rule.

Depends on the industry I guess. All of our sales guys (myself included) started out as engineers and you'd get shit all over and wouldn't last a day if you didn't understand the product and business through and through.

That is such a good commercial.

They are in a separate building on a separate lot 1/4 mile down the street. The new sales management sucks. Morale there blows. Numbers suck. It's starting to affect service.

Field engineer is coming on Monday to inspect, because they want 100% capture/data on ANY trans related concern on these new transmissions. If he sees burnt fluid, that's explainable. Once he sees a smoked tire, brake dust caked all over the R/F wheel from the traction control and a tire worn 3/32" after 700 miles, we quickly move in to "driver abuse, not covered by warranty" territory and the dealership is left holding the bill for a $10k repair, that we then have to disclose to a potential buyer.

If I leave it as it is, the sales dept is on the hook for $10k.

I found a new service loaner with the same wheesl, same tires/DOT numbers (looks like the thing was built in the same week as the other one) that has ~200 miles on it. I brought it home tonight so I could wear out the "newness" on the tires a little, and tomorrow I'll take it in early so I can swap the wheel and front brakes over so it looks less fishy. My only issues could be the overspeed codes in the ECM thanks to the new DTC's that exist, but I could explain that as the guy driving it here vs towing it.

Check bolded. I would NOT get remotely involved because this is not your problem. And doing that is ethically fucked, both to the manufacturer and to the potential buyer of EITHER car

Changing the tire/brakes is a pretty fucked up thing to do ethically. Also, couldn't you get shit canned for pulling something like that?

I couldn't imagine the stress of selling things.

Yeah, why doesn't this guy owe your dealership $10k for messing things up? Why would anyone else at the dealership want to get involved?

Didn't mean to imply that I was including you in my observation in any way. I interact with stupid sales folks all the time in my industry and how many complete car salesmen have we all encountered? When I was shopping for my car I had to often educate the about how the option packages worked on the

There's a difference between not knowing option packages and not knowing to fucking let off the throttle when you smell burning tires/brakes/transmission...

This is like the gun salesman not knowing how to put a safety on.

Oh yeah, I feel ya, I didn't mean to sound like I was taking that personally. It's just an observation, not just from my company but my industry as a whole. I agree that most car aren't the @[user not found] type who know/love the brand and have pretty much always known less than I do going into looking at something.

The broad who made my was awesome though, she was seriously a VW enthusiast.

Nice man! Sounds like fun.

My gf got us an airBNB in the mountains this weekend with no cell service for my birthday.

that can go one of two ways:

1. time with her and gallore

2. She is going to kill you and hide your body.


but guessing that she's been a 5/7 gf, I would go with #1.

[Calvinball]

I don't think she's the murderous type... but we'll see. If y'all don't hear from me after tomorrow... #2 went down.
