Hello ladies and gents. Longtime lurker (8+years), but first time poster. Proud Supporting Member however, because I appreciate everything that you all put in to the site. I learn plenty of things here, some of which I may not really want to know...!
Anyway, I finally have a reason to break down and post something. (And to avoid seeing "who's that guy?" for the upcoming birthday thread!)
Bought a used car a couple of weeks ago from one of the small independent lots here in Ocala. Small office, but the salesman (Bob) had an office with an inside window that has a nice etching of the Gator logo, about 2 feet wide. We were talking about it while working on the papers, and he told us this story:
A guy calls him about a maroon SUV posted on the website for the lot. Asks a few questions, and then says "hold on to it, I'll be there in the morning. I'm coming from Tallahassee, to get it for my mother. The next morning the guy walks in to pick up the car. He sees the Gator logo on the window and says "Are you a Gator fan?" Bob says yes. The guy puffs up and says "Well I am Sandy so-and-so, assistant athletic director at FSU. And I don't do business with Gator fans." He turns around and walks out.
The thought of that arrogant SOB trying to buy a used car for his mother - and making a 6 hour round trip from Tallahassee for nothing - brings a smile to my face!
Let the 'nole bashing commence...
