this might just be the best dumbest question. Considering the source of the inquiry. Where is the dealer?

i had a modded Volvo s60 T5, and a Chrysler dealer asked me if I wanted to trade it in for a crossfire. My response was literally "are you really that stupid?". When I proceeded to tell him of the profound difference in quality between Volvo and Chrysler, then proceeded to tell him about the significant mods that were done, he says "well, Chrysler is owned by Mercedes, so it's pretty much like getting a Mercedes". Dealers don't think. They use numbers. That's it. The greaterroblem of our society is that most consumers fall for the crap. That's why they try at every opportunity. LOL!!!

Had a guy at the car wash ask me if I "took it off-road" while I was spraying about 20lbs of mud off it.

I had someone ask me why my Jeep sounds like a sports car. I have Magnaflow exhaust.
One of the guys I work with asked me why I would take a brand new Jeep off road.

While at a drive through and doorless the chic asked me "are you afraid you might fall out"? Given the fact that she was really cute I was nice with my response.

This actually made me laugh quite a bit.

That's a popular one too. Usually make some joke about seatbelts or something.
