And seeing how the video camera operator probably drives a Ford, he doesn't know how to drive in anything but a straight line. Not his fault, it's just that if he tries to corner, his car will fall apart.

Addendum: That's no excuse for the retard putting all those stickers on his car though......

So sitting at the dealer right now, and just overheard a salesman talking to someone else about that Veyron bit on OBrien:

"Yeah, it's the most expensive car in the world, like $10 million or something. They make 3 a year or something low like that."





At least he isn't a Bugatti dealer. I should ask him about RX-8s.

Kill him. Kill him with fire.

It really helps to at least know a little something about the automotive world if you're going to be a salesman. I don't think he's gonna last too long at that job.

he will probably be there a very long time... anytime i go to browse a car dealership just to see what's new, i get a salesman who is simply full of **** and ignorance.

So, because he doesn't know the specifics of a car he will probably never see in real life, he should quit his job as a *insert specific brand here* auto salesman?

I think a slight knowledge would be nice, though for his job specifically it wouldn't really be required for him to know any real details about the veyron. That said, it's way too common for someone to be trying to sell you a car that they know very little about. If I ever had a job like that, I'd try to learn as much as possible about the cars I'm selling. You can't look smart when you dont know how to answer some fairly basic information about a product.

I agree, knowing as much info about the product your selling. Complaining about a guy who doesn't know the details *How many are made how much they sale for...* about a car he won't be selling...come on...that's just being silly.

Yeah, but when mazda makes the MS8 to compete with it he'll have to know why it's better
