Porsche test drive ends in grape juice

There's got to be more to the story. Why was he by himself and DUI? What was someone at the dealership thinking?

Ask any pool hustler...it's easier to get somebody drunk to part with their money than somebody sober.

Sounds like a car salesman thought the same...

Conversation recently overheard in a bar catering to pool players. Two guys playing pool...

Drunk; "well ya got me 2 hundred down. I probably should quit."

Carlos the Huster; "Yes, you should quit. I'll take another 2 hundred as easy as I did the first 2 hundred."

Drunk; "What the hell. 2 hundred then. Let's go."

Nobody can say Carlos wasn't speaking the truth...

SLO is a small town when it comes to car dealerships with Porsches (nearest Porsche dealership is in Santa Barbara, a couple of hours away). Last time I checked only two in SLO had any used Porsches on the lot.

Yeah, anything that shuts down the grade is a major news story.
