Mornin' all.
This is my Mon/hump/fri day. Conference in Austin Wed/Thur and Fly out tomorrow. Taking a day with the wife to putz around down there Friday and come back Saturday.
We taught out daughter sign language when she was little. The boy didn't care a whole lot either way.
Friday I get a call from the marketing arm of the dealer we bought our Avenger from. They are calling 30 of their loyal customers (we have bought 1 car there) to come in for a special sales event. Guaranteed to give at least $2k more than KBB says our car is worth. I told them they don't have anything I am looking for in a car. We like our mid-sized sedan that is sporty. He says surely there is something we want and I said yes, our Avenger. The 200 is not sporty and the Dart is too small. He says, how about a Jeep then? I said Jeep doesn't make a car, what would he suggest I get? He says he doesn't really know what they currently have and what is a sedan then? He then says they have such good deals roughly 28 of the 30 people that go to the sales event buy a vehicle. I told him that unless he could tell me what four door car that is mid-sized I could trade even up for that I would be one of those two that doesn't get a new vehicle. He, again, said he didn't really know the lineup, I said, isn't that your job? So you aren't interested in a new vehicle then? No! How about a SUV? I have two, I don't need another, I like what I have. Thanks.
How do those people get jobs? And he was the supervisor. It was worse when the original guy was talking.
