You or Ed.. idk who's better at telling a story❤️

Yep I caught that too. I was like that is like a 1953 Corvette

@Peter Lemonjello no way, top two storytellers here are Chris and Rabbit, no contest

Well you are getting old but ur also handsome daddy

@switchcars Your story is right about not wanting to drive it. I have driven a 64 corvette stingray manual ... Never again you made me bust up laughing when you said that...

I've taken to the habit of, if the GPS is telling me something "weird", to stop and figure out why. The map would probably have shown closed roads; at least Waze does.

Lol

@@johnhufnagel yeah like if he was using Apple Maps, it’s literally garbage so it’s possible the gps didn’t tell him that

Did you not hear his description of the tires ?

@@mauriciosanchez144 prob a while back if he's using a GPS device weren't too reliable

Much appreciated having been in said crowd, twice.

As an owner of a similar 2003 Mustang GT, I can confirm. I spun out once and took out a road sign. Luckily no injuries and only bumper cover was damaged.

It was the rear end setup that caused it. The crowds getting hit us because people get too close but oversteer and solid rear end can = chaos

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

@@jringhisen damn you almost got hit twice?

He should have replied "the passenger is the one that gives head to the driver."

@@rnash999 You don’t want to say that to such an idiot. He may think you’re being serious and attempt to “treat” you.

Watching that again after this hahah kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7Chotin2LW0eqc.html

I forgot about Mr. Ficarra as well. Fucking tripod.

Isn’t a test drive standard on buying new or used vehicles?

I agree 😂

Yea I would agree Mr. Invincible takes the cake! Once he said that my mind would run so many ways so fast!

Yep anyone selling a car who doesn't expect potential buyers to want to test drive it is not living in the real world, and the name of anybody who wants to buy a car (particularly an expensive one) without taking it for a test drive is Fool.

I agree hearing him complain about people wanting to test drive a car they're buying was cringey

@@HakeemKaree did you miss the part that he didnt want to offer test drives in black ice conditions? or that he didnt want to run a restored classic on salted roads? those parts are understandable. it'd be like buying a boat up north and expecting a sea trial that involved busting the hull through the ice to get to open water. hell no!

The other thing your're missing, is these people were absolute douchenozzles. you dont show up to look at and potentially purchase a high end car, and act like a joke. You show class and respect, and if you dont have those things and all you have is money, you get treated how you deserve. Remove black ice or shitty roads with salt, and I guarantee these dudes would grant a test drive to someone who presented themselves with class and respect for the car and the person selling it. Furthermore, when you’re buying a car through a private dealer or broker like this, it’s not the same as the dealership or some lot with cars. You’re paying for the reputation of the person sourcing the car for you. There’s a premium price being paid, and part of that pay for the piece of mind knowing they’re not selling you something that has a hidden issue 20 miles down the road. The same cannot be said for other methods of purchase. Having a relationship with guys like this, is the kind of thing where you here someone say, “yeah that’s my guy so-and-so, he’s my car guy. Majority of their transactions are with repeat clients who continually buy and trade cars with them over the years. There’s no reason for a test drive in most cases. It’s an entirely unique car buying experience, it’s nothing like what we have to deal with when we go to the dealership or the used lot. For us, it’s a game of, who is gonna bend over first. Getting the deal you want to get is often a matter of having the balls to be a little bit of a dick and stand your ground. And yeah you absolutely test drive it, especially if it’s used, you gotta see if it makes some awful sound or doesn’t shift it whatever. THATs what’s test drive is for.

I totally agree. If that's the dudes policy OK, but you have to tell your client that. I doubt I would fly to a city to "see" a car. Facetime can do that with no jet lag

You can tell this guy is a crook and making all excuses to look legit!

Doug can wear it as a joke. Some dealers wouldn't wear it if you paid them to. I know the rep used car salesman have, but doug and ed bolian aren't those guys. Trust me.

That's lost margin on cars that end up not being driven after purchase.

Wouldn't the tech who saftey the car, recommend new tires? Lol

@@modifide huh saftey a car?

@@modifide Have safetied many a car. That's not usually a thing that gets checked, at least in my state - and all 50 states are different.

Usually we would replace tires, but sometimes we don’t. Tires are a personal choice on specialty cars that reflect the type of use of the buyer. What if we spent $1500 on good r-compounds for handling and the buyer was going to drag race it? I’m very particular about tires for my car and I’d personally rather get a slight discount on a car and pick my own tires than buy one that the dealer put on crappy all-seasons or something and then have to pay them back for a bad decision. Therefore, sometimes we leave them alone, inform the buyer, and let them make the choice on rubber.

I have politely asked anytime l am buying a car model l have not been in before for them to give me all the stupidly obvious things that anyone should know. And they always do but l do get looks every now and then. When you explain to them it's because you know you are going to not know something simple and don't want to damage it and cost them or you money. It works pretty well.

What do you do for a living " Moon Wolf '?

@@joshmihalik5151 it’s true though... Mustangs aren’t exotic here.

Well it's no different than when a ford dealer sells a different brand car

Imagine calling a mustang an exotic in America. Is ge one of these Americans who think the only countries in the world are US, Canada, Mexico, England and "other ones"

That's exactly how I ended up buying my 96 mustang S281 clone..live axle and a stream of water in a turn on semi worn street radials🤔😞

In a spin, both feet in.

wasn't it damaged while in dealers name ? wouldn't that mean he sold a damaged car ? lol

@340bärgarN it's america dude. It absolutely boggles my mind that there you take your driver's test in an automatic and can just jump in a manual car without anyone giving a damn

Either clutch in or keep your foot on the gas - either way don’t let the wheels rotate the wrong way! But yes, as taught in racing school - in a spin, both feet in.

@@arvilsstraume9304 seriously man, i wish I would’ve learned manual for my driver’s test. I am “learning” right now, pretty much got it down after an hour of practice. If they had let me practice on a car while getting my license, it would’ve been so much more useful and easier. Plus I would’ve learned “the right way,” instead of self taught.

Thanks to our idiot president

Yeah I don't like this guy Ever since his episode about harassing a guy with a "fake " lambo

Yea I agree but supercars during winter is an obvious exception

Yeah, I completely agree. I understand the supercar in the winter and such, but I would also ask to drive it.

Totally agree, weather permitting!

You're not going to get to drive a supercharged Mustang with S tires on road surfaces with below freezing temperatures without wrapping it around the first solid object you see. Winters in NE Ohio are no joke and no way would you want to take out a nice ride with the amount of salt they drop on the roads here to keep them somewhat driveable.

@@iknklst yeah I get that, I live in Canada so I know the realities of winter driving and the hazards driving a powerful vehicle in poor conditions can be. I still believe though that the seller should make it a bit more clear that a test drive is not possible, rather than believing it is implied. To be honest, I think that Doug comes off as quite a big dick in his story and if he were to act in the same manner to me if I were potentially purchasing one of his vehicles, I don’t think I’d do business with him.

Sounds like she actually appreciates the vehicle type. Unlike most soccer moms who buy ford expeditions to take their kids to Wal-Mart.

I'm thinking that he has enough experience selling cars that he know who to allow to test drive or not test drive a vehicle. Also, growing up in Upstate NY, I don't think it was unreasonable to not allow a person to test drive a performance car on a snow/ice covered road coated in road salt.

@@garys1266 there's no reason you can't test drive a car in snow reasonably. And I have enough experience buying cars to know if someone told me I couldn't test drive a car then they can find a new customer.

@@drewcaptian3127 OK we'll agree to disagree, but we aren't talking about a Toyota Camry here. We are talking about cars that most people won't drive in rain let alone on a salty winter road after they buy it.

@@garys1266 its clear you've not bought many cars just stay in your lane.

@@drewcaptian3127 Oh OK...

Yea I could understand not driving the vette in the heart of a winter storm and/or salt covered roads. Makes sense. But questioning why a customer would want to test drive a pretty normal car like a mustang? Sounds like a hard way to sell cars

@@richardp444 [Sounds like a hard way to sell cars ...] The conditions weren't 100% and the guy wasn't respecting the car from the beginning. It was the right call.

@@richardp444 A supercharged Mustang in winter with icy conditions. That's quite a difference than just any mustang in any summer conditions.

yessss

@@kgb4187 Nah

🥊

LoL those are shorts, I've wore a pair like that in a store and got people looking at me funny

Usually missed chances in this context involve something clever or witty.

The weather conditions are also a factor though. And the guy obviously lacked manners and mechanical sympathy. Who thinks its ok to just be revving another mans car to redline in a parking lot and without asking?!

How many crowds did you crash into while you had it?

GT3 RS NOT BEETEL

@@matthewscarborough2597 Nope that’s a beetle!

Floridaman intensifyes...

The C1 Vette rides on a shortened '49 Chevy chassis.

That’s something I was thinking. Not allowing a test drive is ok, but it’s definitely not ok to assume they’ll know they can’t test it when they’re flying out just to see it. Nobody is gonna fly out to see a car when they can’t drive it

Lol this isn’t Ed

I'm guessing the average buyer for that kind of car understand the reasons for not allowing a test drive in those conditions.

If you're serious about buying and want to test drive, you should also know that you won't have a proper drive in less than ideal conditions.

For the average car yes. But in circumstances it is not always proper. Especially the winter during snow seasons.

Normally people don't ask when they think the answer is no.. my experience selling motorcycles people want joyride everything and want to ignore everything you say

I think he is against test drives during winter time because black ice and have some stranger drive your tuned car let alone a tuned mustang then id be hesitant too. You know how your car is gonna feel better than anyone but others won’t. That’s why Matt Farrah is one of my favorite car journalist because dude has drove hundreds of strangers turned cars only ever one accident which cause it was raining.
