do not attempt to buy a car from there. The manager, Richard, is a fat ass douche. I knew better when I pulled up and all the cars looked like absolute crap. The one car I was going to see, found it online and the pictures made it look awesome, when I got there and found that car, it smelled like somebody had taken a 20 pound poo in there and then tried to cover it up with armor all. The sales guy was cool, but when I told him I didnt think I was going to buy the car, much less even attempting to, he handed me over to this Jabba the Hut look-alike, who asked me why I was wasting his time? blah blah blah. Asked if I would buy it at a reduced rate, and when I told him I'd think about it(yeah right) he then proceeded to yell at this guy across the showroom floor, if you could call it that, about how he had taken the photos all wrong in front of me and the other people in there. Real smart ass. anyways, just venting, AVOID THIS DEALERSHIP, looks like everybody else has. dont get suckered into going there like me. /rant. :mad:

Can I get on this soapbox?

Two weeks ago, I put a $500 deposit on a car for my son. We told them it would be two weeks before we'd be able to pick it up. (Son has mono, Chris works all the time, me starting a new job). I write a check for insurance last Thursday, get a call later that day, they sold the car. I still don't have my money or a car.

Dang, sorry to hear that!

Please tell me you got some kind of paper showing you paid them the deposit for the car.

If I take a deposit for a car, I write on the receipt how long I agree to hold it for and that the deposit is non refundable. $500 to hold it two weeks is very reasonable.

Yeah, I'm still a little pissed about it. Chris is handling it, now. That $500 was also supposed to be the down payment; we just couldn't get back to the dealership any sooner.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
