The BULLSH*T KING!!!!!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share a tale told to me by a Ford salesman when I went in to get a few parts.
I took the L and parked it , as I was walking across the lot a salesman asked about the truck. I told him as little as possible and tried to move on. Thats when the BS started.
He told me he owns a lightning and races all the time. I asked where and he could only say in Maryland. I asked what track and he couldn"t remember the name!! He asked me what mine is running and I told him mid 12"s hopefully as I have not run it with the last few mods yet. He says " I run low 10's and still have some motor to go." I said what are your 60' times and he said,
" I don't run those I only run the 1/4 mile." What an IDIOT!
I will go back some day and tape this CLOWN for all of us to enjoy.
What should we call it?
Oh yeah, as I was leaving he asked why my truck was making a whine noise! I said " Thats the blower" He said " Where did you buy it? I said " Check the parts counter!!!"
Needless to say I did a nice rolling smoker when I left!!

So you are saying that this guy had the nerve to tell you that his lightning runs 10's. He didn't remember where he ran it at and he also did all this without a superchager.(since he didn't know what the noise was). NICE!!LOL You have to tell me where this dealer is!!!

I took my truck in for warrety work to a Ford dealer in DEARBORN (of all places) and the person filling out the paper asked what kind of car it was, I said a Lightning. She says (arrogantly and rudely) what kind of car is that? Who makes it???


Dumbass.

This is a place that sells a ton of SVT's, but they are a crappy dealer.

Are you speaking of Villiage Idiot Ford? I bought a new 85 Tempo Sport from them. That POS burned two quarts of oil on a trip to Traverse City a couple months after I bought it.

thats nothing


A friend bought a brand new Expedition eddie bouer with the load leveling air suspension. Well after 2 months it stopped working. He took it back to the dealer and the service writer came out and told him point blank:


Oh it's supposed to do that for this expedition was made for women.

I Chit you not that was said.

What dumba$$es

Listen to this:

My uncle and I went looking for a new truck for him. We ended up at a dodge dealer and went looking at the viper before we went to go look at the trucks. The sales man comes up to my uncle and says this is a fast car. He said I bet, how many cylinders does it have(both of us knowing but wanted to see what the guy said). The guy looks at my uncle for a second then starts looking at the car. Finally he says: I think its a V8 with 10 cylinders, let me go check...
