Don’t Count Your Calibers before They Roll off the Lot

May 26, 2008 by cajunvegan

If you followed me on Twitter today, you know that I tweeted about ringing the gong at the Towbin Superstore here in town. Boog and I purchased a Dodge Caliber, but we failed to leave with her tonight. It is a long, dramatic story suited for another post (maybe tomorrow). My sweet chariot (Thanks, Bo!) did not carry me home due to a FUBAR business practice at what I thought was one of the most reputable dealerships in the nation. In a nutshell, upper level management did not communicate with mid-level management who miscommunicated with the sales person who will probably lose her job after the failure to close the deal with us tonight. I am too pissed off and tired to go into all the details right now. For now, let’s just leave it at the fact that Chopper himself will have to sweeten the pot to close the deal with this banned book reader.

Ugh! Sorry to hear about that. I thought the gong was the final step! Don’t they know about the “no take backs” rule? Did they NEVER play on a playground? Geez - I thought Chopper looked a little furry, but who knew he was raised by wolves!

Aw. That is a bummer. It is hard enough to get yourself worked up to actually plunk down that money once, much less have to go through it again later!

Oh for fuck’s sake. I can’t wait to hear THIS story.

Too bad you can’t get a free car by Twittering about it. :p

Frankly, I’d take it as a sign from God. Run Cajun Vegan, Run away from the evil car lot.
