Looking to get a small hatchback

[Scrumhalf]

Haha.. look at you, giving me life lessons. You are the one who routinely calls himself anti-social. I on the other hand am a find upstanding member of society, freely contributing to and drawing from the myriad talents and cultural diversity surrounding me in this fine metropolis of Portland, Oregon.

It's the shopping that I despise. When I go to the car dealer, I am thinking "Look buddy, I know exactly what you paid. This information on dealer holdback, dealer incentives, etc. is all over the web. So, why don't you quit giving me the song and dance about how I am putting you in the poorhouse with my demands, and let's settle on a reasonable profit margin for you and save both of us a bunch of time?" That's why I prefer getting a car from a fleet dealer. He does the work of finding the car, he tells me exactly what he paid for it, adds a couple of hundred bucks for his profit margin and I walk out of his office with the keys."

Not trying to sound all high and mighty, but my time is too valuable to be wasted on these kinds of shenanigans.

Driving down I-5 isn't my idea of a good time. I'll do my break in on the twisties in the Oregon Cascades.

it's about waiting and complaining about a car coming on a train. how you would rather do that instead of just going and picking it up shows your age. I usually see you as someone to look up to. you come across as someone who i could learn a whole lot of life lessons from.. when you have someone to say I usually stop and listen..

BUT. this has me a bit disappointed in you. i fear you are becoming a bit shy of the outside world. seemingly not a big deal but it can lead into a general downfall in life general.

get your shit together and if you need a pep talk ill give you a pep rally! :thankyou:

He'd prefer complaining about how it takes 4 years by mule train to cross the Rockies I guess. Lolz

:laugh:

It is a bit ironic that he doesn't want to drive his new car back. Perfect opportunity to break it in outside daily task travels.

I'm right in the middle. I will buy a video game or something from amazon but I would actually enjoy driving the 500 miles to pick up my new car. The 500 miles back would be in your new car!!! Whenever I get a new car I just want to sit in it and look at it for a couple days. :D

[BEAST]

What? You like to go running around all over town haggling with car dealers? Hate that crap.

Yes I actually like that. Unlike the 99.9% of the population I like going to the dealership and grabbing the salesman by the balls and squeeze them, watch him tear up while he is trying to make the sale. :grin:

I'm their worst nightmare. :grin:

Meh. I'm too lazy for that. I don't even go to the mall to buy stuff. I would buy my car online and have it arrive at my front door on a UPS truck if I could.

LAME! :disagree:

I've done 800 miles (14 hours) in a day.

Coulda had your car in a single day and had a nice test drive on your return trip in your new car.

[Scrumhalf]

Nearest one that I liked was in Norcal and I am not going to drive 500 miles to go pick up a car.

[Bouncer]

i find it hard to believe you couldnt have driven a few hundred miles (a single day trip) to pick one up.

[Scrumhalf]

Haha... believe me, I wish I didn't have to do it, but the ST is a pretty rare car and I just couldn't find one in the right color and optioned out just the way I wanted.
