how many of you guys go out to test drive cars that you dont intend on buying on a regular basis?

I do it all the time. I think I am up to about 250 or so test drives from various dealers in everything from Lamborghini all the way down to a couple of Kias.

I was thinking about this myself today. I want to go test drive a new Evo X even though I don't intend on buying one. I don't want to get stuck listening to some schpiel (sp?) for 2 hours though.

I like when they let you take the car out by yourself, like at the Mini dealership near me.

lol thats great. do you have to come up with different ways to get people to let you drive? or do they usually not care or know enough to ask?

I take the S2K with me when I go test drive... When I pull up in the Corolla nobody comes to me... when I come in the S2K, it's a different story :down:
