Saturday morning I spent some time shopping around locally for car stereos--I've gotta ditch that factory Clarion (especially since I don't have the code for it and it no longer works!). I started talking with a salesman about what they had to offer--he tells me what I already know. Out of curiosity, I ask him about how much it would cost for his shop to install my system (my DIY-energy was running low that day). I ask, "Do you work on many Saabs? Are you at all familiar with the electronics in these cars?" This fellow had the pompousity to reply, " Well, we don't see too many Saabs--they're not very popular. If fact, they're not much of a car. . . .there are many better rides.. . . for instance, my '95 Acura. . ..blah, blah, blah."
I stood there stunned, having a hard time believing that this salesman had just insulted me. A few moments passed and I smiled and thought to myself: "What an idiot....What he doesn't know won't hurt him. He'll be all the more surprised when my '94 9000CSE burns by him someday soon."
He only reinforced what I already have known for years: if you want it done right, do it yourself!!!! *AND* It's OK with me if the general public doesn't know what they're missing. . . *grin*
