End Times?

 

End times?

Revelations?  Current events in Israel? Conspiracy theories are on steroids. In the past few years the time between a conspiracy theory and actual information proving the theory is measured in months, even weeks.

We should count on two things. The Israelis will prevail in the end, and the SloJoe train wreck will dither.

Mike Coffman is someone I admire. He truly cares about the underdogs. He, at the same time, is hardnosed about solutions. Aurora has always been a pimple on Denver’s ass and a tough political environment. His official posting.

Firearms and Car Sales

Sunset Cars, Renton, WA , a thirty something mixed race woman bought a 200,000 mile Nissan Maxima from us. Paid cash. A few days later she came back and wanted her money back. The car needed some repairs. Of course, we said no way. That was prompted, in part, by the new set of fancy aftermarket rims now on the car. Money for rims but not repairs? Maybe the rims were ‘borrowed’. No matter, late that night a small black man appeared demanding we refund his niece’s money. The manager, Al Vetters, politely declined. The man then pulled a handgun out of his coat and pointed it at Al.

Al looked at him across the counter and said, “Shoot, nigger!”

The man started shaking then said, “You are crazy”. He put away the handgun and ran from the dealership.

Al collapsed in a chair muttering, over and over, “Oh, my God”.

For those who will object to my using politically incorrect words, tough shit.  Your opinion may matter, but not to me.

On two separate occasions I saw handguns fall out of pockets as the customers were getting out of a car. What to do? Point out to the customer they lost something.

A comment I made on LL’s blog was about having a handgun pointed at me during a test drive. The dealership had a fixed test drive route that started with the salesperson driving off the lot to a nearby dead end cul- de- sac. Then you switched seats. On this occasion, the ‘customer’ was a young Caucasian male. As we exchanged positions he “presented” a p.o.s. semi-automatic, Jennings if my memory is correct, with the safety still on.  He was quickly disarmed. He was then subjected to a few blows to his snot locker and cheekbones with the butt of what was once his handgun. Since we were only a ½ mile drive from the Renton Police Department, I drove him over (pre cell phone days).

A saleslady I was acquainted with had a customer try to rape her on a test drive. Said individuals learned about messing with an Alaska fisherman’s daughter. They raise them tough in Angoon and they all carry knives.

Back in the 1980-1990’s Renton, WA had at least 16 new and/or used dealerships  within a few square miles.

Most managers I know in the biz keep a handgun handy. When I was running the sixty or so off site sales we did, I was always packing. Scofflaw that I usually am, I’ve had a CCP for decades.

YouTube Experts

Still on the subject of the car biz, do you think salespeople don’t watch all those, “How to Buy, How to Beat the Dealer’, etc. videos too?

Back in the day I always bought and read all the books on the subject and became adept at dealing with people who came in with a “book” strategy.  They usually found the best planned strategy, like war, doesn’t survive the first contact with the enemy.

Yes, I’m an election denier. This is a Colorado specific example that probably is replicated all over the country.

Oregon will supply the wolves to Colorado. To save reading the whole article, here is the key sentence.

The wolf reintroduction ballot measure drew heavy support from voters along the Front Range, but the wolves will be released west of the Continental Divide.
