Saving those 2 "e"s must be important.

Never seen that before.

You can conquer those cravings with a little bit of blow.

Meme from another board I used to post on. Assumed it was internet-wide, but doesn't really look like it.

LOL...They are most likely the worst industry when it comes to customer service. I wanted to trade in my vehicle where I had purchased it. I called and left 3 voice mails (never could get a hold of my salesman) saying that I wanted to come in, trade in my vehicle and buy a new one. Is that a sweet deal or what? No need to bug me or anything. I'm a big fish right on the line right?

Nope...not a single call back. Nothing. I traded in my vehicle at another dealership and my wife traded hers in too. Two lost sales for that first dealership. The experience buying these two vehicles was a nightmare as well. Forgotten things, rates changing, financing people making appointments and not being available. You name it, it happened.

For an industry that spends billions of dollars on research, development and advertising, it's simply amazing they have usually the worst sales people of any industry selling the damn things.

Car dealerships really GMG's.

No complaints about Maclin... South Pointe Toyota also treated me really well a few years ago, and I dicked them around a bit (put down a deposit on a vehicle and then changed my mind).

So annoying waiting in the car wash line, and the guy in front of you does the works on his car. Pulls out all the mats, starts spraying, opens the hood, sprays the engine, gets in the wheel wells and really gives it to er, and that's just the pre soak. Gotta do the soap, twice around the car, then comes the ####ing foam brush, gotta really get every square inch, and not just the wax on, wax off, gotta paint the fence here, too.

Now the foam brush is done, so it's time for another round of goddamn soap, then comes the rinse, and every bubble of soap better be off before he switches to to wax. And wax it he shall. Gotta really, really wax it. The longer you spray that car, the more wax will be on it, so spend a good MF 5 minutes doing that. Then there's another 30 seconds per wheel on the fricken tire cleaner. Who actually pays for that? The MF in front of you, that's who.

Are we done yet? Nope. Gotta do the spot free rinse. The nice, low pressure spray down of water, that is doing nothing, except robbing you of money. No wait, it's robbing him of money. It's robbing you of time and sanity.

Jesus H. Christ, can you super car cleaning losers put a sign on the back of your car suggesting that the other lane (which you saw three people come and go through) is the wise one to take? Just get a magnet that says "I really, really love my car. Like fetish love it. It's only a Tacoma, but it's MY Tacoma! So use the other lane, because this is like sex for me, and I'm gonna be here awhile"


No kidding, I've come back from 4x4 excursions and been out of the wash bay quicker than some of these tools, and their cars are practically clean when they rolled in. And that's the part that pisses me off. I pull up behind these almost clean cars thinking that they're just going to give it a quick soap and wax, so it's probably going to be the bay that opens up first. Nope. 20+ minute wait. And then the guys that pull up behind you start jacking the other open bays, while you sit there boxed in like a chump, just thinking about ripping that ####ing wand from that f'rs hands and beating him with it.

[puckluck2]

Hahaha nothing better than a 4x4 rant. Hate those guys too especially when it's wet outside already and will be dirty again in 10 minutes. The most I spend at the car wash is $3.

Similar thing happened to me this morning. Guy waiting behind me me sees what is going on and totaly loses it. Walks into the bay screaming, dropping F bombs and hollering what the hell is taking so long. He had the young dude cornered and almost cowering as his continued with his rant. Young dude drops the wash wand, gets into his truck and drives out of the bay. Older chap comes out with a huge grin on his face and smiles at me saying problem solved.

Wasn't me. I promise.

I just like to daydream about it. They're paying customers, just really, really annoying paying customers.

I do that frequently as well- $2-4 depending on the car and the weather outside. Makes me wonder- would they do well having an express lane? Often I don't wash the car because I know it will be a busy time, and I will end up behind somebody like 4x4 was.

Now that's a d-bag thing to do. One thing to be annoyed but to actually do that probably means the guy is mental.

Yesterday I was getting into my car at a convenience store and a guy pulls up one spot from me and another guy pulls in right after him right next to him and gets out and starts yelling at him telling him he's parked like an idiot. So I pull out and they are both literally parked perfect. Both in the yellow lines and nothing is wrong with how he parked but the man still flipped out on him. Some people just have nothing better to do.

Car washes are for quick cleans, detail the mofo at home.

That's always been my policy. Unless I'm in the NE late at night where they have a bunch of 24/hr car washes and nobody else is around. THEN I take the time to clean the crap out of the thing.

That one's right up there with people that take $100+ worth of groceries through the self checkout. Sure not everywhere it's considered an express lane, but common courtesy would suggest that taking your time and scanning at a rate of one item per minute, is pretty rude when there's a long line behind you with people that have maybe 3 things in their hands. Go stand in a regular lane ffs.
