I went with my brother and our friend to a few dealerships this weekend. My buddy is looking for a new coupe to replace his Civic that replaced his Civic Si.
We stopped in at the local Honda dealership. A cute salesgirl gets my buddy and is starting to walk him/us outside to look at an Accord Coupe.
One of the other salesman who was talking to two other salesman stops me and asks me if it is my GTO. I tell them what I paid, etc.
They ask if they can check out the car. Next thing you know three salesman at a busy Honda dealership are outside poking around my car. The hood, doors and trunk were open, a lot of "sh!t this is nice", etc. not one nasty comment. Just a bunch of car guys enjoying a nice car! A bunch of questions to me about how it performs, a few comments about what they read and my thoughts on the comments (lot of lean, yeah, but I come from a Porsche and a Z28 with a very worked suspension so anything is going to lean) etc
My brother was trying to be involved with both conversations but the salesgirl took our buddy too far from us. Then all of a sudden my brother and I stepped back from the GTO so a customer could check out the car too when we started to chuckle.
Picture this, three salesman and a customer really enjoying a Pontiac with the giant Honda sign in the background, and one guy blipping the throttle.
Wish I had my camera!!
Wish all salesman have such knowledge of cars and respect for the competition.
