I remember sitting in the back of my uncle's lifted, sky high Ford truck as a kid. If you fell out of that while it was standing still you could be severely hurt let alone going down the road. | |

Fenderwells got uncomfortable on longer rides. Up against the back of the cab stretched out was where it was at. Above about 25mph, you'd stay dry in the rain too. LOL EDIT: It just dawned on me that we got hauled around like garbage back in the day. |

I went from San Francisco to Los Angeles in a bed of a pick up truck. 6 hr drive. I was sunburned and a little dehydrated by the end of it.

^^WTF? "I'm not being rude, I'm not being disrespectful." I don't think she knows what either of those words means. |

I’ve had to do this on a grader, except I decided I didn’t want to stand in it, so I would flip the tire over onto the ring side, use the mow board to lift the front of the machine, then I would wedge the tire under the front snow plow blade (lower the blade), then I’d pump up the tire while I stood at the rear of the machine, or sat in my truck, while parked at the rear of the machine. | |

LOL, people at dealerships don't take those jobs because they're into cars, especially service managers. They do it because in larger areas it's a fairly high paying job. A service manager at a good shop is a six figure a year job.

Actually their families elect them, in my community some families are big enough to have that many voters in their family. Not my family, cause there is only three of us. I won’t get started on how 80% have to get a lawyer to read documents to them cause they either can’t understand multi-syllable words...or maybe they’re illiterate. | |

Remember back in the day when you could walk into a NAPA and the people behind the counter didn't need to ask the trim package in order to get you some windshield wipers? Part of that is because of their software, but a lot of it is because most people don't know cars like they used to. And the fact that there are hundreds of more car options these days doesn't help. People can't be an expert on every one of those. | |

I don't know about you, but I often go into a car buying experience knowing more than the sales rep which is pathetic. | |

Like I said, dealerships don't care anymore. They just want warm bodies holding down chairs, and bringing in money. The days of giving a shit about the customer after the sale are long gone. Which also extends to caring or knowing what you're dropping off or picking up.
