Going testdriving.....
What cars should I grab? Me and my friend are bored, so we want to go out and testdrive a few cars. Keep in mind that they probably won't give Porsches out to two 20 & 21 year olds......
I'll do reviews after

A friend of mine went around to a bunch of dealers putting on a big act like he was the son of some rich assed guy. He did it up with a suit and everything.
He went to the Hummer dealer and they let him take one out without a salesman even!!!
I couldn't believe it, I told him he should go down to Hollywood for the damn act he put on. It was priceless, then to top it all off we picked him up in a rusted out '83 POS Chev half ton.

okay this will HELP you get into cars that you otherwise wouldn't....
FIRST....both of you take a bath, get all spiffied up.....do NOT go out in jeans/tee shirt/and running shoes. PUT ON A SUIT! don't go in the dealership cutting up.....act all respectable and ****....act like young lawyers or something like that.....
go to mercedes dealers, bmw's, jags, push the limit...what is the WORST thing they can say? NO? oh big frickin deal right? don't give them any crap if they tell you know....what you do then is just very nicely tell them "well, guess there is another dealer that wants my money then, NOT a problem, thank you gentleman, I will just go and see YOUR competitor" and walk out....if nothing else...it will leave them wondering if they just F***ED UP or not....
I actually know a couple that use to do this on sunday's after they had gone to church...they figured they were all dressed up anyway.....why waste the effort!! lol they took test rides in all sorts of stuff they could NEVER AFFORD!!! LOL

lol, well mazda dealers around here are great, ive driven every car on the lot where i bought my car.... that goes from a special edition miata to a reg. old protege.... no dealer or nothing, and im a 16 year old.... i guess it counts to know the right people
oh yeah, and that civic si, drove one of them in reg. street clothes, no work to get them to let me at all..... that shifter is actually pretty cool
you just have to sweet talk them correctly, thats the name of the game.

drive a mazda millenia before they can it, check out the miller cycle engine
drive a new Infiniti G35, wow what a nice looking car.
drive a new hyundai tiberon, with the v6 and then go right out and drive an rsx for a comparison.
have fun

sorry guys, I was a big disapointment for you guys today....
out of all the dealerships, I walked into a Toyota and test-drove a Corrola......
For 23,000$ CDN, that thing is so not worth it......
I went into a few other dealers, and looked at stuff, but only the Mazda one actually offered help. Seing as that dealership is where our local Protege group will have our next meet (they're kinda sponsors....) I didn't want to lie to them, so I just pretended I was there to ask about Mazdaspeed Pro, and they said that they got nothing new on it (it was a salesman, surprised that he even knew that they come in Orange)...
I didn't get any of the tips that you guys posted on time, and I will be going back to redeem myself. This time I'm taking this girl and we'll pretend that we're getting married and buying a car. (she did some photo shoots for some import shows
).
My friend that came with me was clearly not up to acting that I could've put on, so he's fired.
Oh yeah, after the dealers, we might go to House of Knives and ask to see the big blades, and then pretend that we're a psycho couple and start pointing it at the sales guy. That'd be too funny though..... for us....
