I Think He Forgot Something

So this is funny. But according to nwitimes.com, a 33-year-old suspect made his getaway after robbing a convenience store but didn't get far. The guy had robbed a LaCrosse gas station after he informed the store clerk he had a gun. The suspect, Sean Harris, made off with food, beverage items, and cigarettes… but no money! I guess the guy was super hungry since the report stated he had a blood alcohol level higher than the limit for legally operating a motor vehicle. Harris fled the gas station, with whatever he could carry, when an Indiana State Police trooper came upon the getaway car. Not in some crazy high-speed chase, or from using some awesome spy satellite that Vin Diesel uses in all his action films. NOPE! Harris’ vehicle ran out of gas. That’s right, he forgot to steal some fuel before making off with his goodies. The Indiana State Police trooper found his vehicle stopped along a two-lane highway. Harris is being held in jail without bail. He was arraigned in LaPorte Circuit Court on a felony robbery charge.

How does that happen? I know the guy was drunk, but really. Maybe he went to the gas station to fill up but decided he wanted food instead. Good thing, he lied to the clerk about having a gun and good thing no one was hurt at the gas station or on the road with this guy.

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen Since the 80s and through the 90s, movies involving car dealerships shined a negative light on car salesmen and painted a stereotypical picture. These comedic characters came off as shady, sleazy, pushy, and willing to do anything to make the sale. The News Wheel has listed the Top 5 Worst Car Salesmen from Movies and they're some pretty bad ones. Here are my three favorites from the list. Rudy Russo from the 1980 film Used Cars . A young Kurt Russell portrays Rudy Russo, a state Senate hopeful. In order to get a $10,000 campaign investment from used car lot owner Luke Fuchs, Rudy must help him sell some cars to keep his business up and running.

Why Buy Through a Pre-Owned Car Dealership

Why Buy Through a Pre-Owned Car Dealership When you hear the words “used car dealership” you think of pushy salespeople trying to sell you an overpriced clunker. But there advantages to buying from an independent car dealership. And if you keep in mind that not all salesmen are trying to make a quick (and dishonest sale) you just might find the vehicle you deserve. The Advantages If you decide to go the route of buying from a dealer, instead of a private seller, you can choose some extra options for your vehicle. You can opt to have an extended warranty to cover your vehicle after the manufacturer warranty expires, curb rash can be removed, and special promotions may be offered, such as free oil changes or free tire rotations. Dealerships care about their reputation, it’s how they keep customers and gain new ones. So you can expect that customer service will be top-notch and they won’t just wash their hands clean after the sale. Dealers also offer their own financing and financ...
