Anybody want to buy a Hummer H2?

The stereo shop that has done some work for me over the last couple of years (Navi in the Expedition, V1 hardwire in the 911, Sirius in the 911, Headrest TVs in the X5, etc.) has a website, and I was checking it out for operating hours since my wife needs to get one of the headrest TV's checked out. I stumbled upon this page on their website:

http://www.702motoring.com/03_featuredRides.php

A steal at only $160K!

I'd go to a different stereo shop.

Literally. I would not waste my time with people that evidently do not share my taste or desire in automotive equipment.

Seriously- I'd run away....

Seriously? Wow.

I do not share their taste either, but they sure as hell have proven to do great, CLEAN work, and they stand behind everything they do.

Of course, they get their fair share of rapper wannabe's, "ballers", etc. But I know the manager, have done a fair share of business with them, and have referred lots of people to them. They are jam packed busy on a Friday afternoon, but took a guy off a job to fix the problem in my wife's X5 IMMEDIATELY, and then called ME to tell me everything is taken care of and let him know if we have any other issue.

What is wrong with Walmart and Hilton Hotels ? Just wondering what they could have done to you that made you feel that way ...

As my family has a small business - I choose to not support a company like Walmart for obvious reasons.

As far as Hilton is concerned - Any family that can put out two girls as totally trashed out as Paris and sister (who's name escapes me) - and basically relish in it (for lack of a better way to say it) -
I will have nothing to do with supporting that activity to the greatest extent I can.

I love the internet because you meet people who think sooooo differently from the way I think ... I am a small business owner as well yet I have no issues with the BIG guy ... it is a way of life and all they prove is they are better at making money than I am

Plus Paris alone is a good enough reason to want to stay at a hilton hotel. I love her carefree attitude in life and think she is a fun chick who enjoys the life she was born into.
