Okay, I'll share a moment that made me smile this week.
I've been looking for a new daily driver and decided upon a new Acura.
I took a test drive at my local dealership. As we pulled out onto 309N a nice red 993 cab drove by - obviously enjoying the last beautiful sunny day. The salesman was drooling all over it. He raved about the car and said that when he retired he was hoping his wife would allow him to buy one. I commented that they had a beautiful sound and could really move. Obviously, while in the middle of negotiations for a new car I couldn't tell him that I had a 996 and my "little summer sports car" temporarily became a Miata for the purposes of the conversation. While it made me sad to have to not reveal our shared passion I was able to secretly smile inside.
hock:
... I saved the story until after I'd purchased a car... just in case on the very remote chance that he might somehow read the story.
... I ended up buying from another dealership (in NJ).![[Image: thumbup.gif]](http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/graemlins/thumbup.gif)
...and as as a result ended up driving to Jersey this morning in the aftermath of the icestorm to pick up the car. Fun!
...but I am considering going back to take him for a ride, afterall, the new car will be going to his dealership for service.
