So there i am at work today ....Van driver says "vans broke youll need something to take customers home in tomorrow". Ok , so i go over to used car and ask for a car to use tomorrow. Guy says "ill mark this one in and you can take it". Easy enough right? So he grabs the keys and walks me out the the car. Funny looking thing , looks like a ...no it has to be the top.....no....no it cant be .....I look att he guy and say "your jokeing right?" he says "no". I look at the car and say "you know i have ot take customers home in this thing right?" He says "yup". I look right at him and say "GM would have a fit". He asks "why". Point blank i say "Its a MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS". He says "itll be fine", i jokingly say "till the bastard leaves me stranded". Im stuck with it , so i get in it , puke green with dark green top ,green interior 2004 model. UGLY friggin car , i mean UGLY ...
I take it back to my manager , i park it right in the middle of my service drive and with customers present i introduce my boss to the "New Courtesy Transportation for Cadillac". One customer is confused , 2 others are excited thinking its some new model for cadillac. My boss is silent. I had to exlplin that i wasnt jokeing and that is what i was given. All he says is "But....Its a FORD".
He says "do whatca gotta do , get rid of it"....So i tookit to saturn , one of the overzealous salesmen walks out and asks "how can i help you sir , this is avery nice car you have". I looked at him and said "i hate it , ive only had it for 15 minutes and i HATE it". "Whyd you buy it he says" , i just said "they took advantge of me".
So i ask "what do you have in a VAN", he shows me the new realys , i name the options i want he says "we got one". I say "ok i want a stright up trade" he wants to talk to his manager , so i walk over with him , his manager knows me and starts laughing his ass off when he sees me screwing with the new guy. His manager gets me keys to the van and i take the Merc back to used ....
There is something about takeing Cadillac Owners home in a Junoir Coffin Badged as a merc built by ford that bugs me ....
Hate fords .....:mad2:
