<p>Was at the dealership today (before the epic failure started, thankfully).
Dealer went to Moo U! For the whole 2 hours he was smack talking and we were just exchanging pleasantry.</p>
<p>Right before we actually signed the purchase agreement I was like, Drew, I don't know man. All this hurtful stuff you said about Michigan makes me sad. Now I am rethinking whether I should buy this car. Maybe if you apologize and tell me how much Moo U sucks I will write you the check. I was obviously kidding.... but the guy started apologizing and went on a 5 minute thing about how much Moo U sucks; and how his sucky degree got him this job as a car dealer, and he wish he went to a real academic institution like Michigan so he didn't have to beg me to write a check.</p>
<p>Things that a state grad would do to pocket a grand or two in commision (maybe not even that...). </p>
<p>You probably can't pay me to do that.. maybe for 100k I will.</p>
<p>If someone offered you 2K to trash talk UMich in front of him only you wouldn’t take it? I sure as hell would.</p>
<p>For 2k? No way. The way I see it… A case of good wine is 2k. Would I trash talk Michigan for a case of good wine, especially to that degree? No.</p>
<p>btw the dealership is open office so it’s not just in front of me.</p>
<p>So you wouldn’t trash talk Michigan for a case of good wine? I sure as hell would.</p>
<p>I guess we just have a different price. Unless that case of wine happen to be 97 or 07 screaming eagle, I probably won’t. Maybe ill do it for a 1st growth like mouton rothschild. But a 2k case is probably a 2nd growth at best. So probably not.</p>
<p>I hate burgundy so you won’t be able to buy me with whatever grand cru :p</p>
<p>I don’t really like you Bearcats, you are pretty full of yourself.</p>
<p>Let me assure you that I really don’t care :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, don’t let the dealer fool you, Bearcats. A client of mine owns a dealership and his average salesperson earns in EXCESS of $100,000 k/yr. So don’t feel toooo sorry for him ;)</p>
<p>they sure are slimy that’s for sure. Tried to sell me extended “comprehensive” warranty for like 7k on a 55k car.</p>
<p>bearcats doesn’t need to get paid to trash Michigan.</p>
<p>… but I bet you can’t pay him enough to praise Moo U.</p>
<p>“bearcats doesn’t need to get paid to trash Michigan.”
If by trashing you mean pointing out factual deficiencies of the university and calling out weakness as I see it, sure :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>As a proud cow college graduate, I can assure you that it’s almost a source of pride that bearcats seems to hate us so much. If bearcats has nothing nice to say about MSU, I am actually quite proud of that :D</p>
<p>i am glad you are proud of inferiority. At least you are doing something to remedy it so your career doesn’t have to be doomed to inferiority from the start with your graduate education.</p>
<p>There is really no hate. I look down on all things inferior, and have nothing good to say about them.</p>
<p>I’m assuming that what rjkofnovi meant by saying bearcats doesn’t need to get paid to trash Michigan was that he’s essentially in a constant state of trashing Michigan by the way he represents it.</p>
<p>No words of trash talk or claims of inferiority could touch the poor image he creates. It’s impressive, really. Makes me sometimes believe he’s just an MSU/OSU grad under a false identity.</p>
<p>Sorry. I will put my maize and blue blinders on and go rah rah michigan from now on. Please accept my sincere apologies.</p>
<p>Considering the amount of mud-slinging at MSU, I sincerely doubt it is an MSU grad. </p>
<p>I’m thinking just a fundamentally unhappy person. Maybe he just needs hugs and rainbows ;)</p>
<p>Hugs and rainbows are worthless. Give me a big bonus and I’ll be happy.</p>
<p>Fact is, an intellectually honest and analytically-minded person should be fundamentally unhappy, because there are always flaws to be found in everything. I am sure you don’t have to worry about that however.</p>
<p>You don’t need to rah rah rah at anything. Being even a somewhat genuinely good person instead of perpetuating your pathetic internet badass persona would be a start, though.</p>
