The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dear Car Dealership contact,
I entered my cell number only because your form required it. You were the one who decided I was looking for a new car. I said, "No, I am not looking for a new car" ... once, twice, three times. As I was explaining to you the shortcomings of your website, you again repeated "It says you are looking for a new car" and as I was again trying to explain myself, you kept on mumbling that "it says you are looking for a new car", I knew that even if I changed my mind, and explored new car options, I sure as heck didn't want you as the person pitching the car options to me. Gah! The stereotype pushy salesman was very apparent during the call. No means no.

Car buying decisions have enough intrinsic stress. Additional stresses, that can be removed will be eliminated.
I said - "you lost a potential customer" and hung up
