to guys like this? He's the famous "Cal" Worthington. Car dealer extraordinaire. I've never liked car dealerships. I don't like car salesmen. Both have just never done "right" by me or my family. Years ago, there was the very expensive custom Chrysler station wagon my mother ordered in white. We had to wait 8 weeks for it. It came in a horrible shade of yellow. Wasn't the time long since past for car dealers? Why can't we just go on line and order a car? We can. But most people still think they need to go to a car dealer. Too bad. Think of all the extra land we would have if the dealers closed. There would just be a lot of service places left to fix all the cars. And all the lying sleazy salespeople would have to do something else equally sleazy. They could be weigh station attendants or toll takers or lawyers. We don't need show rooms or car lots anymore. All the models look just about the same. You could pick the color you want, fill out the credit application and just go somewhere to pick it up, or it could even be delivered to you by one of those pain in the ass Hot Shot vehicles. Easy. No more flying colored flags, or phony sales, or negotiating, or let me check with the manager, or balloons or frankfurters. And just think, no more of those really loud car commercials with someone like Cal shouting at you. Speaking of old Cal, if you want to know more about his shtick, go to http://boongawnee.com/calworthington.com/ Cal even own a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Alaska - go figure. Think those "ice truckers" are getting their cars there? Don't think so. More likely the managers of the diamond mines are though.
