Smile Honor System Test Drives in Mi?

Todd and I stopped for gas and some breakfast about 30 miles outside Port Huron,there was a Pontiac Dealer(Milner?) with a Black A4 2002 TA.

The sign on the TA's window said MUST GO WINTERS COMING!

They must have really meant it because the keys were in the Door!!
The cars doors were open!
There was no one inside the Dealership!
2 people were checking out an Avalanche about 10 feet away!

I threw them in the door slot at the service entrance,I bet they wonder how they got there!

LMAO! It has chrome 16x8 rims.
Todd says swing it over to the BK parking lot and we will swap the rims over to your car!
Mine are painted 16x8

I guess I am just too honest!

Maybe I should ask for a reward I saved it from some other thief! LMAO

If I wanted a new car I would be making payments,its a lot easier than stamping licence plates and showering with the "boys"

2000 Dodge Dakota R/T 5.9!!

That was my last testdrive...I was really thinking about geting one at the time. It had like 40K miles on it, they anted around 18grand...anyays..

Wandering around the truck a salesman says, "You looking at that truck?" yes sir I am...He says.."Let me get the keys"

He seriously tossed the keys to me.Mid air! and then he walked away..like a quarter mile to the showroom...left me there with it. So I started it..Cool i thought...Then I got in and drove it up to the showroom waitng for the OK...he came ou and says, "how was the drive?" I just said, i think i want to go around the block again" and i took it out... Sweet little truck. I didn't abuse it or anything but of course I layed into i a fes times...from a stop.

That's trust man! And considering I did this in Ohio too.

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok Denny I believe you did'nt beat on that truck That is the best time to do it That way if it breaks you aint gotta fix it .When I traded in My retired Blazer down here in AZ.The dealer had his mechanic take it for a test drive.He must have beat the pi$$ out of that poor truck.He brought it back and shut it off and ya know that ticking and pinging noise ya here when cast iron is really hot and it starts cooling off??? Yeah, It was doing that.I poked my head inside and the temp gauge said@ 255*. I'm thinking great, Ba$tards you better take that P.O.S. in on trade now. Thankfully they did. Yeah it was like 120* the day he drove it too. My rule is, If ya break it and the dealer still owns it...... Whoopsie .And if the dealer breaks it and you own it,THAT SUCKS . So yes I believe you did'nt beat on it.

How about stopping at Team One Chevy in Charlotte on a Saturday afternoon to eyeball the F-bodys and when traffic dies down it sounds like something is running. After about the 3rd time we figure out that it's a Cadillac sitting in the front row of used cars running. And not a freakin' soul around

I was in Grand Rapids on business about a month ago. I stopped by at Berger about 11 at night to check out the cars on the lot. 2002 Corvette convertible with the keys stuck in the door. This thing was sitting front row, right outside the showroom. Very tempting!
