Well, Lately I have been pondering the idea of trading in the CSRT4 for a different car my Fiance loves, as she has been helping me in paying the CSRT4, due to my back injury/recovery period. We looked at Melloy Dodge today, and found out my good friend Cousin Vinny, retired and no longer works there, so I had to deal with some new faces, okay cool. We see a silver Dodge Nitro that we like, and they are selling it for 21k. It drove good, and was an awesome alternative to the CSRT. Now here is where it gets bad. We are sitting in the showroom, and the manager ask for my key so they can appraise my car, and so I hand it over. We are sitting there, and we hear my car start, and we see it backing out, low and freakin behold, the guy slams the gas and bangs off the rev limiter dirty as hell, and took it for a test drive. I begin to pull a Lu and get hella mad at the manager, as he is sitting there with us and heard everything. I blew a head gasket and started mouthing off curses and saying how much BS that is. I then go outside so I could cool off. I then hear my car pull up, and I see it and walk up to the driver door as the guy parks. First thing out of my mouth was "WTF were you doing banging off the Rev Limiter in my car and driving around here like an asshole!" He then replies, "I did nothing." I said, "Bullshit! I could hear and see what you did, as well as everyone else in the showroom!" He then says the most stupid thing I have EVER heard, "Well its a High performance car and needs to be driven that way." I looked at him with a dumbfounded look as I could not believe he said that, So I replied, "So you have to do a burnout in a parking lot and drive like an asshat, just because it is a high performance vehiicle!? WTF would you have done if this were a Dodge Viper? Is this what you tell all your customers, who want to do business, try and break their car? At this point, a ton of sales people and managers came outside to see what was going on. I bit my tongue, and told him to give me my f___in key and we left. As I was already hitting my boiling point, and was about to do something rather stupid. So, let me ask most of you...and ron doesnt count (lol)...do you guys do burnouts and drive out of parking lots like an asshat clown banging off the rev limiter everywhere you go, just because you have a performance vehicle? /rant Just needed to vent and share what this joke of a car dealership did. Gabriel
And once again, you didn't call. lol Now, if you have some names, I can inform Bill Melloy of this situation...
The salesman i was dealing with was named Thomas (Good guy) and the manager I was deailng with has a (not trying to be rude) a deformed right hand. The guy who was driving my car, I never got his name, but was Bald, White guy, with a goatee, and was about my size (a little bit better shape) I could point them out easily, especially the clown who tried to hurt my baby
when you are there can you see the price for a stock SRT4 injector for me? vatozone is saying 90 bucks...
Ummm, well, there's a big difference... it's MY car. I would never think of driving anyone else's car that way.
There are some very faded 100' double black marks on my dealer's lot....I put them there a year ago.....there are some 50' foot double black marks behind the service garage...the service mgr put them there...with my blessing....and that blessing is what makes it OK....had any other done that....:blowup:
Oh :censored: no!!! I could tell you right now I would never set foot in that dealer again. And the owner of the dealer would know why.
I don´t have to bang the revlimiter BECAUSE I have a high performace car, what I do with it and when is one thing, what others do is a completely different thing! My rule is, drive someones car as you would expect them to drive yours! Fredrik:dumb:
I would have flown off the handle too, you are not alone...And I'm sure that not one person will disagree with you here. I still have my stock injectors.....but they are the 03's.....
no it wasnt him, as i would have recognized him. this guy was stockier than him. nick kind of reminds me of howie mandel lol
What a douche. I can absolutely without hesitation guarantee you I would have went to jail. Not saying it's right but...
I'm guessing Goober might have gone to jail... but he just had back surgery a few days ago. That probably saved him, and the douche.
