So I am buying a new car.... this story you have to read....

I researched new cars, SUV's to be particular. Based on reviews, online data and price, I opted to start with a Hyundai Tuscon as my vehicle of choice. I decided to schedule a test drive online.... What happens next will not surprise some of you, but most will at least get it.....

I walked into the Hyundai Dealer after pre-arranging my appointment to test drive their small SUV. I talked to some one on the phone before hand. When I was greeted I was asked how I could be helped, and answered I was here for a scheduled test drive.... here is the rough transcript of what went down....

Dealer Rep: Hi, has anyone helped you?

ME: I scheduled a test drive, I am a little early.

Dealer Rep: Your last name?

Me: Carrier

Dealer Rep: (Checks computer) There it is, and I know you are not "Courtney", is she here with you?

Me: er..... Actually that is me.......

I appeased the little putz with a test drive.... but you should have seen his face when I told him I was not interested in "That" car.... he did feebly try to save face.... but to no avail....

Moral of the story???? Never assume, even when you plainly see it in front of you... I want to drive my brand new Toyota Rav4 into his dealership and let him know he lost a sale...
