Has anyone ever test-driven a car with no intention of buying it? (M)
I was sorely tempted yesterday, but then my concience got to me, and I didn't end up asking for a test-drive, because I knew there was no way I'd buy it. Not to mention it only had 45 miles on it, and I didn't want to hurt the car before break-in. Those vipers just look so mean though...I guess I'll just have to wait for Skip Barber next month!

All the time....
I try not to be an ***...but I just love to test cars and compare them to the yellow beast that I left in their parking lot. Whenever I pull up to a dealer the sales guys flock over to my car like ducks chasing after a piece of bread.
I recently test drove a WRX...and although I was somewhat impressed, the interior and overall feel of the car didn't get me. It feels like a really fast Civic. Granted the car is only $24K, it is a nice alternative if you can't cough up the cash for an S4. But I did scare the crap out of the sales guy!

That car is a beast though..
We had one on the lot for almost 2 months (a 2000 GTS with 15K) and I drove it quite a few times. What power and torque! So much fun, but the car screams Dodge in so many ways. Most people at MBZ don't give it much respect, but I respect anything that powerful. BTW, I am a car salesman and we call people who just look at and drive cars "strokes" for obvious reasons!
