Years ago, I wrote a column piece on an experience I had while buying a car. A friend of mine and I went to a Saab dealer south of Boston to look again at its inventory. It was my second trip. The salesman did not remember me.
Strike one. Dude, I’m 6’6” and have a unique last name. Seriously?
Anywho...there we were looking over $25,000 cars and giving off more buying signals than a crack addict who needs a fix. The sales rep was, at best, indifferent, and let us walk out the door without so much as an offer to go for a test drive. I was so dumbfounded that I dedicated my monthly column to the experience, identifying the company only as a “Saab dealer south of Boston.”
