I work as a salesman myself.:lol:

Its a good fit for me since I'm a pretty good negotiator and I absolutely love cars. But there are certainly a lot of drawbacks, 12-hour days and customers that treat you like dirt for example. That's why I'm looking to go into management or working directly for a manufacturer eventually.
 
I washed my car today, it's once again bright orange.

The only change since I've bought it is the fact it's been named "The Great Pumpkin" by my boss.:lol:
 
I just came back from my first Track Day event at Circuit Mont-Tremblant in Quebec.

Those of you who played Ferrari Challenge or Supercar Challenge on the PS3 are probably familiar with this track. It's just brilliant. It's probably the most challenging course I've ever driven, but extremely rewarding. It has such a natural flow that follows the countryside and you find you're loading and unloading on your suspension while going around corners which makes it all rather treacherous.

I had to become an official member of the BMW CCA (Boston Chapter) in order to go but I found them to be a great group of friendly and enthusiastic guys. I've always been a big BMW fan at heart.

And the weather, let's just say it was typical of the 'mountains'. Yeesh! :yuck::ill: This happened TWICE. But thank goodness both times it was at the end of the day.

Meet, Claire:

An '06 Peugeot 307 with a cute little 1.6L I4. I bought her for my girl buddy/ girl friend so I'm not going to start a thread. I'll be driving her with my friend touring the country until I go back home.

I almost bought my friend this:

A '93 Merceses-Benz 600SEC. Tbh, I wanted the car more than she did - I mean, $5800 for a near perfect V12 is a 🤬 bargain! When the owner popped the hood and out came that V12, she hid behind me. :lol: I properly destroyed my chances of driving that car again when I scared her in the test drive.

It would've been so fun to come to this thread and say "I own a V12 Merc"... but... the Peugeot's good too!

Had a nice little drive today pretty far south of here - a good 75 miles or so. First time I've taken my dad on a drive like this, and the first time I've taken him anywhere in the Ranger, really.

This is believed to be an old crane from the late 1800s or early 1900s. This whole area was surrounded by old houses and mine cart entrances.
