IF...you are actually ALLOWED to. As I noted in the "G8s are finally arriving" thread, a friend of mine went to a dealership to check it out and hopefully test drive one to see if he wants to buy that over a BMW. Long story short (more in the G8s are finally arriving thread), he wasn't allowed to ... and thus, probably won't consider Pontiac again. *sighs* And, after MY experience today ... well, yeah, let's just say GM is doing their darnest to keep me away for good.

*chuckles* And here, I thought that phenomenon was only reserved for me! heh! *rolls eyes* I spent some time late this afternoon going through a few different sites (i.e. autotrader, craigslist, ebay, etc.) hunting for some cars. Found some great ones ... in other states ... but nothing really close to home. Though, one of 'em that was close to home, a '90 Caprice wagon, would be OK ... except, I don't want a wagon, necessarily ... and the asking price (nearly $6K) was a bit too much, imho. I suppose I needn't keep looking since winter is about over, but I might as well keep looking ... so I can find something BEFORE NEXT WINTER! He he.

From what he told me, my friend's reaction was. I just can't believe they didn't budge on this. I mean, it's one thing to not want a "tire kicker" to drive it ... THAT I understand. But, to deny a potential buyer? The last I checked, TEST driving a car was one way to sell it ... regardless of whether or not the person is buying THAT VERY DAY. Sad thing is, he never even got to the price discussion ... didn't feel the need to, obviously. So, I don't know if they were asking above sticker or not. I'd guess they are, given their attitude about driving it.

Hmph ... you're not the only one. A friend of mine went to a local dealer to check out the G8 to see if he wants to buy that instead of a BMW. The dealer told him he couldn't drive it unless he was buying that day. I'm not sure he is going to consider the Pontiac anymore. *shakes head* I guess maybe I'll wait to even go look at 'em until more get into the dealers. I don't want to drive it ... just see it in person ... but, with reactions like this....aye.

Quite the creative bunch, we are . Me, though, not so much. Which reminds me ... hmph, I asked the question ... and forgot to add mine! AIM = fc72mc When I created this one, I didn't have my '72 MC yet, so I used fc (abbreviation for part of one of my Email addresses) along with "72MC", for the MC I didn't have. YIM = knightfan2691 This one should be self-explanatory. I'm a fan of the Monte Carlo, which uses the Knight Shield/Crest as its emblem. The 2691 are the last digits of my older 4 MCs: 197(2), 197(6), 197(9), 198(1). I created this one before I bought my '87 MC LS.

...IM name? We've had threads about how we came up with our screen name on the message board(s), but what about your Instant Messenger ID, whether it is AIM, YahooIM, etc. (especially if it is different than your screen name here)? *pauses* Of course, only share if you want people to contact you via IM.... AND: Anyone else, like me, have people on your IM buddy list(s) that, sadly, you've no idea who they are anymore? I don't open my IMs as much as I used to. Years ago (or so it seems), I spent most of the evening IMing with people. Now, along with other things, my evening hours are spent reading and posting to groups/boards. So, when I do open up my IMs, I almost always see a screen name that I do not know to whom it belongs anymore....
