When i went to the scion dealer to test drive the tC i drove my modified jeep cherokee on 33's and all the salesman were gawking at it asking me all kinds of questions, they were hoping i was gonna trade it in, hell no i said. I would never trade that thing in, way too much fun in the dirt.
roomate goes to test drive the new calibur, his gf tells him he cant take his car bc she doesnt want him spontaneously trading it in, so we take mine. I park off the side, I didn't want them to think I'd trade my baby in for one of .... those ....
Very cool salesman, younger guy. roomie has an xA, they're talking about it, he brings up my car, salesman talks his trash. He's a Chrystler/Dodge salesman, what can you expect. We all laughed, had a good time.
Roomie hops in a Magnum Hemi, says "Hey, his car is over here, I'll show you". So we pull around, guy's like "Oh.. OH ... that's what you got, wow that's clean.." so on so forth. He asked how much it was, when I told him 17k, he kinda stopped talking about the HEMI, stopped explaining the caliburs stupid pulley tranny. He wanted to know about Scion.

Went to Honduh dealer yesterday to pick up my S2K antenna and there were no guests parked in the guests parking lot. There were about 5 dealer vultures smoking and joking outside the front door. I fly into the lot pretty fast with tires sqwealing, get out of my tC and see their faces light up. They uncross their arms as they're deciding who gets to try and make the sale. I slam my door shut and start walking away from them to the parts department. I shoulda turned around to see the look of disappointment on their faces. On my way out, I demonstrate the superior torque of the tC by chirping my tires. Good times. I love my tC!

Man, I can't remember what kind of dealership it was, but all I was doing was making a U-turn and using their entrance to do it...but in those 30 seconds, all them dudes were just looking.
This reminds me of another story, but I'm gonna start a new thread for that because it has nothing to do with Honda.
For real? Which one did I have? cause I don't ever remember owning a Honda.

Yo....we need to stop the hate on hondas ....we all have had one at one point
well i work at a large ford dealership here in oregon. and everytime i park my tC i deliberatly park RIGHT in front of the show room. I look out the window and people who are comming into the show room stop to look at my car before they even set foot in the dealership. It is rather amusing seeing someone start to come in...stop...look at my car...and walk away
my boss doesnt like it, but it just makes my day that much better....

Actually what you did fits right in with "rice".
Coming into a dealership where cars could be coming out of nowhere fast enough to make your tires squeal, then rip ___ coming out.
That's just not smart. But hey, they probably laughed at you anyways.

i did the same thing. i pulled to the front-most parking spot when i bought my antenna. i had salesmen looking at me and stuff. what made it even funnier is i had on my TRD hat the whole time.

oh, and as for my experience at the honda dealer, well the last time i was there was when i was looking to trade in my 04 civic for the civic Si i had just test driven, but i didn't because they wanted $24522 for a non-nav Si. msrp 20110 btw.
