Top 5 reasons I won't buy that car from you...

So in the last couple years I have seen the purchase of a few cars. I can not STAND some car salesmen...and while most people can't stand them because they are "sleazy" I can't stand them because most of them are idiots. SO here are the reasons car salesmen totally turn me off and if/when they do these things...I refuse to sign the papers just on principle.

1) You see that I am a girl, and I came in with a guy, so you go talk to the guy. When he says to talk to me because I am the one looking for a car, you still don't take me seriously. I will not buy a car from you because you don't make an effort to find out what I like and don't think I am the decision maker. NOPE not buying that car from you.

2) You didn't spend the time to learn your used car inventory. If I come in and ask you what the price is and you go "uhhhh...ummm...hmmmm...what is this?...uhhhhh ok let me run in and check" If you don't know anything about whats on your lot...you failed. You have so much downtime you should go and learn whats on your lot. NOPE not buying from you.

3) Similar to number 3...You can't answer my questions about your NEW car inventory. If I ask you what the difference is between the trim packages and you don't know, well thats stupid. My boy's Mom went in to check out the new generation of Nissan Maxima and the salesman's mind was blown when she had to find and show him where the heated steering wheel button was. You should be keeping up with new innovations your company is coming out with, don't be ignorant or I won't buy anything from you. Sorry you just lost a sale cuz NOPE not buying from you.

4) You don't bother listening to me. When I tell you I want that bright blue, I WANT THE BRIGHT BLUE! Don't try and get me to buy another color I WANT THE BLUE! If I tell you I want a sporty hatchback, don't try and sell me an old mid-sized sedan because I obviously don't want that. I'm leaving because nope not buying from you.

5) When you stand at the front door smoking and when one of you comes to talk to me the rest of you stand and stare. You perpetuate your tacky sleazy-ness. When you smoke and throw your cigarettes on the ground and stare at your colleague trying to sell us, it doesn't make me feel like buying from your dealership. It seems like you don't care about where you work and how you get the job done. I don't want to buy a car from a company like that. Why don't you guys make yourselves useful or hey go learn your inventory. Because right now...nope I don't wanna buy anything from you.

So car salesman FIX your actions and start selling those cars in the new age. People care if you care. People want to be listened to so see to their needs. Women make a lot of decisions these days and if they want something specific LISTEN to them don't try and get chummy with the men they are with because that just pisses us off. And for heaven's sake, you have enough down time to smoke cigarettes and chit chat with each other, LEARN ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT! Sure not a lot of people know the difference between trim packages but there are a bunch who do and they find it irritating when you stammer.

Thank you.

Kart MADNESS...again...

So for the boy's birthday we went back to Unser Racing in Denver with a bunch of our friends. We had an insane time (again). That place is awesome. Since his birthday was on a Thursday...conveniently...we were able to go for Thursday Thunder again and had unlimited races for $60. Everyone had a really great time. Since there was 6 of us we were able to dominate every race we were in which made it way more fun. Here is video of the guys doing their last race of the night.



We had a really fun time. We still haven't tried the other new track on the other side of Denver and will probably have to just to see. Apparently Tim Tebow of the Broncos raced at that one *shrugs*. I think they just have better a better marketing team and probably had him come in for free but thats just me. Anyway here are the guys getting ready to race...



We had a blast :) someone even blew a tire haha

Kart MADNESS!

So its totally winter right now and that means stetchy drivers on icy roads and DEFINITELY no motorcycling...SO...what are we going to do to get our driving fix while also getting outside of the house?

Indoor Go-Karting!!!



We drove down to north Denver last night and visited a new indoor kart track called Unser Racing & Entertainment. We being my boy Brian and our friend The Nick Bair (of Supermotarded fame). To sum it all up into one sentence:

You know you were having fun when you find pieces of tire hidden among your unmentionables :]

This is just my back...see the little tire pieces? WELL they went everywhere...



We may have hit that threshold of too much fun haha! And our little bodies not used to a lack of power steering/out of motorcycling shape are definitely feeling it this morning! BUT we had a BLAST!

Unser Racing just opened this past November 2010. I really hope they stick around for a while! Last night was Thunder Thursday which gives you unlimited races (with a temporary membership purchase) for just $65. Normally one race is $30 and three races is $80 so this Thunder Thursday deal is a great one! The carts are really nice, the track has its bumps and quite a bit of sharp turns but that's what makes it interesting. They also have free lockers for your stuff and you get to hold on to the key which is nice. Also, they have really nice fire suits if you feel like you need to wear one. Overall it was a great experience and we will be returning. Here are some more pictures from last night!

This is the view from the locker room to the viewing area where we all hung out. Apparently directly to my left they will be building a restaurant with a better view of the track :)


Here is the view of the track from that waiting area...basically just the pit...but they did have a camera showing us the far end where we saw one guys helmet fly off...still don't know how that happened...



Here is Nick and Brian as soon as we figured out the name of Brian's blog (coming soon) "The Adventures of Drizzle and Bam" :)



And this is me! Waiting for our next race hehe



This Saturday me and the boys will be going on an adventure to get Nick some new stuff for his brand new bike Bam! I will be guest photographer on his blog to help him document it all. It's gonna be fun!

Dear Car designers...hide those naughty bits please!

So I have a bit of a pet peeve. When I am not driving I am usually observing all the cars around me as well as where we are going (I have mad skills when it comes to navigation). One thing I have noticed is a cars "naughty bits". I am referring to tail pipes and mufflers people!!! It makes me crazy when I see stuff like this...



Now this is the 2011 Nissan Juke. I was actually starting to like this car before I saw it driving around Phoenix and saw the complete back end...What is that???? ITS 2011!!!! Can't you hide that!!!??? Its an ugly old random tailpipe!!! I mean COME ON!!! Now most car designers have hidden this ugly eyesore...frankly I feel dirty seeing it because its like seeing my cars "naughty bits". Yes I know this is on the base model end of the available trims but COME ON!!! If Kia can do this...



Then everyone else certainly can too!!! Come on!! Complete the lines of the car and make the exhaust look presentable! Its like seeing a guy/girl with nice underwear on...its more classy than nudity...
