    To be fair. They greeted me. I was given time and space, perhaps too much that I lost interest. There is that balance, you know. That is where the art comes of being a good people reader. It was just too hands off. His phone and other things around were more important. You see... They base their craft on experience and building a bond, some establish a cookbook formula that works the majority of the times because people who are going to buy a Ferrari, will buy a Ferrari. They bank that there aren't many Ferrari dealerships around. It is not like a Toyota or Ford dealership, you stand in one and you can potentially throw a rock and hit the next one nearby.

    They should also learn on how to read people and if they do, they usually don't expect to be read back, because why would we? We are there to buy a car. Within minutes of being in the dealership, I knew I wasn't going to buy my car there. I looked at cars and often looked at the sales representative that greeted me. He wasn't there for me, so he lost a 400k F8 sale. I took my business elsewhere the following weekend. My experience in the other dealership couldn't possibly have been more different. I was treated as if I had bought a car every year on the year.

    There is a balance, there is an art. Poker is not only played in the casinos.

    I think we have done a great job drifting from the original thread that deserves a change in title to relieve the poor OP that was tortured after he posted and bailed. You're welcome!

    New title suggestion,

    I personally think your brother should buy a Lambo. Sounds more his style. And since he is so rich and can strike checks for 2 he should buy you one as well since you haven't been able to figure out how to earn the money to buy one o_O

    Custom spec, but really didn’t like it. Was a known risk going in as the 488s we had was a total dog relative to what I prioritize. Similar to your experience....doesn’t stir the soul as much. No denying it looked stellar!

    Alright then it must've been FBH, which was going to be my first choice because of the location, but since I didn't have the most pleasant experience at Newport, went with that one first.

    He must really value the opinions of the community. Or he is picking his brothers dry cleaning.

    The part about the brother that is most impressive is he bought "Baseball Hall of Famer's house". How many here can say that?

    More importantly. How many would? I may be the odd man out, but I totally fail to see the attraction and prestige.

    Meh. Most athletes are broke, live above their means and couldn’t scrape 2 nickels together.

    Just for the record I was being sarcastic, what part of that had any relevance to his post other than another brag?

    I see that the thread drift only lasted for so long. You guys are ruthless... but funny. So it cancels each other out.

    If his name and location are accurately stated, he was a NH Republican Senator. from 2012 to last term 2018.

    He may have come off a little snobbish but let's cut him a little slack, could we? Second chance maybe?

    It guess it may check out. This article says that same name is an Fcar collector: https://www.thedailybeast.com/meet-the-jerk-wholl-introduce-rand-paul-at-his-first-campaign-rally

    And this article has a same last name person (maybe the twin) appointed by the Federal Reserve Bank of SF: https://www.sdbj.com/news/2017/feb/08/sanborn-appointed-feds-advisory-council/

    So the story is looking more true and not all made up...

    Quite the resume... Not quite an unblemished or a proud one... I guess the post goes along with the tone and the assumptions made were spot on. I am thinking, after this post... he won't return. If he does, it may be in years, or remains anonymous, changes names; or after it is all forgotten as long as he doesn't create any further waves. Right now, probably sitting at the bleacher section as a spectator.

    Some people just mess it up for others. It is just poor form and gives others with the same likings, a bad reputation.

    It could be the OP or the OP could be making stuff entirely up under a false name or someone could have posted under a logged in account for fun, etc, etc. It is the internet after all. Don't believe what you read and only half of what you see.

    Clark County, Nevada public records show Orel Hershiser's old house sold in 2019 to same last name so maybe it is the twin...

    politicians....

    I need a break. 2020 is just too much from any angle.

    Who thinks 458 has the BEST sound?
