Some people just aren't car guys.
It was possibly just "desperate salesman syndrome", but when I was shopping for a used 1998 or 1999 Firebird, one dealer didn't have one but the salesman tried to steer me toward a 1995 Infiniti J30 because
"they look a lot alike."
I still regret not telling him, "Soon as I get home, first thing I'm gonna do is punch your mamma in the mouth!"
