I ordered a Challenger for a very good customer of mine, and I found out we're having issues getting it in the six speed. I sold him the automatic orange car I had in stock and he's taking it home today.

I agree Krandall, but a sale is a sale!

I took him over and showed him our 2009 Corvette and 2009 G8, but I couldn't get him to pull the trigger on either car.

I would take the Vette over any of the others.

We had a G8 up to 120 mph. Quick car.

The customer had the Challenger up to 135.

Today in history...

Nov 26 1865

Lewis Carroll sends the manuscript for the psychedelic novel "Alice in Wonderland" to his 12 year old special friend Alice Liddell. (Incidentally Carroll, born Charles Dodgson, had a thing for very young girls, frequently photographing them nude.)

Nov 26 1973

The Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo, stabbed to death in prison by a fellow inmate in Massachusetts. DeSalvo had killed 13 women.

Nov 26 1975

Manson family member Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme found guilty of attempting to assassinate President Ford. It is unclear why anyone would want to assassinate such an uninteresting president.

Nov 26 1976

Sex Pistols single Anarchy in the UK released. The song later appeared on Never Mind the Bollocks. Sadly, it has yet to be equalled.
