El scotto Gentlemen, I stand corrected.Trip to the SC Beach? Another 2 hour flight. Summer trip to the cornfields? 2 hour flight. Regular Car Reviews: 1988 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. SC Beach Vacation golf clubs, beach cart, various beach stuff. Christmas in the cornfields, packages to haul. Only two long trips a year necessitate driving: 1. El scotto Depends on how you value your time.I learned a lot about sales, even more about cars and a tremendous amount about people and leadership. If I could get them to drive it, about half eventually bought a Mazda after getting horrible treatment and crazy pricing at the Honda dealer. Eventually I stopped explaining and just showed them the car, typically a LX trim. At first I'd explain what we had and try to show them a 626. Daily we'd have customers seeing the Honda sign and come in looking for an Accord. But the new FWD 626 came out and I really loved them. I was the only real car guy and while the Mazda line-up was generally a good one, they were a fringe brand in a small market and I had more fun selling and demoing bikes. Most people declined and drove out with the stripper. Those things flew out the door which was good because I thing there was about $200 in the deal if you couldn't talk the customer into a $249 step bumper or the $800 dealer installed A/C. I took the job to be the motorcycle guy but in the day Mazda had the Gen 1 RX-7 that was still popular, the GLC that was cheap and the B2000 pick up that was advertised in base version at $5995. The third was a real lick, late middle age, smug, knew next to nothing about product and was proud of it. One guy was an old-timer, super nice grandfatherly type, moved at his own pace, had been there awhile and had built a small but loyal clientele who would refer others to him. Myself and 3 others, 1 female who was attractive, friendly and pretty ethical, but new little about cars and less about math. This was early '80s in a relatively small town.
