Default i got this friend who makes about 90k

in kali that would be about 180k...cost of living differences and all.

anyway, he bought this car off ebay for 900 dollars just so he could get to work while we work on his DA teg. (dont ask me why...his money)

anyway, he took this car into a porsche dealership today to see if he could test drive a car, its a mercury cougar bostonion, like a 1990. most of the paint is gone, the lights, somoene used the hood as a saw horse and there is a rusty hole cut with a circular saw, none of the interior works, there is no radio, it beeps constantly, squeeks....it is by far the worst car ive ever seen running.

anyway, he went into porsche and according to him:

[20:55] thecode404: maybe ill buy a new porsche 911
[20:56] thecode404: i drove my ghetto cruiser to the porsche dealer today and they kicked me out
[20:56] ABRN s k i e s: ahhaha
[20:56] ABRN s k i e s: wtf
[20:57] thecode404: he was like, get the **** out of here
[20:57] thecode404: heh
[20:57] thecode404: and then he stared after me
[20:58] thecode404: i bet he never would have guessed that i actually could have bought one of his ****in cars
[21:03] thecode404: im extremely tempted to do that actually
[21:03] thecode404: i think i can hack the payments if im not spending all my money on my acura

[23:32] ABRN s k i e s: did he really tell you to get the **** outta there?
[23:33] thecode404: well he was like get out of here and motioned with his arms
[23:33] thecode404: this was porsche of orland park
[23:33] ABRN s k i e s: what a bunch of shit
[23:33] thecode404: yeah
[23:33] ABRN s k i e s: you know what you should do
[23:33] ABRN s k i e s: get a billfold of like 10k
[23:34] thecode404: haha
[23:34] ABRN s k i e s: and do that for a saturday
[23:34] ABRN s k i e s: and when they throw you out
[23:34] ABRN s k i e s: click through the moneyt
[23:34] ABRN s k i e s: and then leave
[23:34] thecode404: i think i might!
[23:36] ABRN s k i e s: you shouldnt hgave to bring a credit report just to get service
[23:36] ABRN s k i e s: you know what you should do?
[23:36] ABRN s k i e s: send a paystub copy to Porsche International
[23:37] ABRN s k i e s: and tell them the name of the guy that ****ed you
[23:37] thecode404: hah
[23:37] thecode404: maybe i'll buy a tvr while im at it and send the receipt

it's not a 100% increase. 90K ca = 130K wiskin.


but unless he has a house I wouldn't buy a Porsche.


I've driven to the Porsche dealer in my M coupe as well as a 540i and they still ignored me :dunno: and don't care. They will be kissing my ass when I actually go buy one. BTW the easiest way to do it is call a head and make an appointment.

so they are complete asses to you... but you still want their product. AND you think that buying one is going to be "getting back at them". Strange.

Sounds almost like reverse psycology. Or plain stupid.

hahah, what kind of car did he buy off ebay?

anyways, similar story in my hometown of toronto. a local millionaire dressed up like a lower class citizen, went into buy a rolls royce, no one would talk to him. anyways, after browsing around for 20 minutes or so, he finally went up and demanded to talk to the manager. he said that no one would help him and he said he wanted a rolls royce, whipped out the cash to pay for a rolls royce, bought the car and that was that. :rofl:

experiment of some kind or something

It sounds funny, cause it's ironic. Logically it's totally stupid.

I'm sorry, if someone is an ass to me like that.... I'm not going to buy their product.

i should have clarified.

I didn't mean i would buy from that particular dealer. I've been to other dealers wearing shorts and still test drove with no problem. When I test drove the S320/420/500 I was wearing a t-shirt and jeans.



so No I would not buy from that dealer but I would still buy a Porsche and I've been to a crappy Honda/mitsu/subaru/hyundai/bmw/mb dealers as well. It's the sales people not the car that mistreat you

Good point. I see what you mean.

I'd think of someone to be pretty dumb to treated like that and still want to purchase one.

when i worked for the civil engineering place....we did a bmw dealship in the CCC area, i think walnut creek. a guy there said this dude: mid 30s, came in a wife beater, smelled like drank, didnt shave for a bit, just looked very broke. everyone ignored him. the owner, or some guy at the top, seen that and got pissed. he came out his office and helped him himself. guy paid for the car in cash and drove off. then the owner said something really smart and witty. but i forgot h:
