So funny . . . car salesman probably had to change his shorts after THIS!

True story. I've been a car guy all my life. About a year after the Dodge Challenger came out I stopped in the local Dodge garage just to look at them. Here comes the salesman, I tell him I'm just looking and don't waste your time on me.

He talks me into a test drive in a new 6 speed hemi. The wife gets in the back, the salesman in the front, and me driving. We go down the road about 2 miles and he tells me to get on I99. I merge in third gear and once on 99 I drop it into second and bury my right foot. Took it up to 6 grand and hit third, tack it to 6 grand again and into fourth. All the salesman says is "really has some power doesn't it?"

Now remember the salesman is about 30 and I'm 55 at the time. Wonder how many "older" guys he had take a test frive like that.

I liked the Challenger, but wasn't abpout to buy one. I'll keep my old Corvette. It's been paid for, for the past 20 years.

Back in '86 I took a test drive in an Alfa-Romeo GTV from a dealership in Caldwell, NJ. We cruised up Bloomfield Ave. at a normal rate but when I hit the entrance ramp for Rt. 46 East at about 25 mph, I dropped to second and floored it and then ran up through the gears shifting at 5k or so. The guy was pretty undisturbed in the back seat and Mrs. Nixon in the right knew what I was doing and laughed. I would have bought the car but it was an '85 leftover and the salesman's boss wouldn't deal. I bought a VW Jetta instead and drove it over 250,000 miles. Does anyone think the Alfa would have lasted as long?

That video is going crazy on You Tube. I heard today that the real driver was not Jeff, it was an instructor from the Richard Petty Driving Experience. The "salesman" was also an actor. Still very funny though.

I had a salesman tell me of going on a test drive with someone obviously suicidal. Going down a 2½ mile long hill with a right angle turn at the bottom onto a bridge over a river. The driver floored the car. The salesman jammed his body into the side of the driver (before seat belts), cut the ignition and coasted the rest of the way till he got it stopped.
