1) Incoming honest take:
I’ve seen a lot of accounts posting a meme comparing TFG to a used car salesman and it’s not a fair comparison.
I need to take a moment to stick up for the majority of car salesmen. I said what I said, so here we go.

As we saw during the pandemic, when new car supplies are low, dealers need to pay the bills and consumers need transportation options.
When people trade their old cars in for new ones the old ones, the good ones are either put on the lot or sold at auction.
Aside: A car auction is like a rapid fire action movie, without guns.
Also, regrets for starting the 1) thing and then dropping it. Ideas and thoughts are always percolating, but follow through is an issue for me and I pay for it daily.
Unless they’re forced into it, many salespeople are doing the job because they enjoy it. In some cases, it’s a great position for neurodivergent people because it’s different every day.
Anywho, it’s not always a career one chooses and it’s HARD. You are on your feet all day, whether it’s 120° on the pavement or the windchill in -17°. You sell 3 cars one day and 0 for weeks.
At our stores, if you lied to a customer, you were done, finished, fired. Sadly, not all dealers have the same ethos.
