New car shenanigans

[Dalty]

In the UK Audi drivers have taken over from BMW drivers as the cliche of the overly aggressive sales-rep who drives like a bell-end and is far, far too close behind you. If they are so close in your rear view mirror you can't see the badge, they are probably a mid-level sales exec in an Audi A4 company car.

Maybe the beard is blond because Audi is German? I'm just as lost as you.

Cliche? I believe you meant "clouché."

This world of overly aggressive car sales reps is not my world. Feels pretty foreign to me. (Are there underly aggressive car sales reps? It seems like all car sales reps have a similar rep.

I've only been to three dealerships in my life. (Once with my grandparents in '93. Once with my father in '02 or so. The last time was last year, with Jubbers and Jubboiter. The last time was the only time where I was actually one of the people shopping. The first two times were ride-alongs. No input expected or given.) That gives me nowhere near enough experience to gather up an idea of what one dealership does or might do over another.

Maybe it's a Chet stereotype.

Are U.K. Audi salesmen Chets?

[Dalty]

All car salesman are Chets, if Chet = that word Negs doesn't like.

[Dalty]

I have gone and done did it!

[Dalty]

Today is the day. Off to the dealership in 30 mins to collect my new toy.

[Space Tycoon]

It's not a toy. It's a means to get you from a to b.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Ours is a means to get my wife to A-B.

[Space Tycoon]

Nice.

[Dalty]

Mine gets me from A-B quickly. I think I might lose my licence.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Your Maserati does 185?

[Dalty]

Alas no, but my Audi is limited to 155 - I think...... I haven't checked.

[Space Tycoon]

I got that reference. Classic Rock ftw.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

For much of my life, the Maserati was pretty much only a car that existed in song. Joe Walsh sang about it. Paula Abdul sang about it. Didn't see one out in the wild until I was in my twenties and in Europe.

[Space Tycoon]

The important thing is this: life's been good to you so far.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

I can't complain, but sometimes I still do.

[Space Tycoon]

Lucky you're sane, after all you've been through.
