re:age discrim

["Kenny Fleshman" <kenny@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am a Sales Manager for a Ford store, and you're dang skippy we
discriminate! You talk to 7-800 people a year and you'll start "lot
qualifying" too! As the SM I hate it but realize the inevitability of my
sales people "tree-topping"... in a bad month as many as 75% of our lot
prospects can't buy lunch. As age goes down, the ratio goes up. And who
really wants to talk with a whiny self-centered ....

Anyway, I am 40, have 0 college degrees, but 2 (count em' 2!) Bimmers! So
can't we just focus on something we all obviously are passionate about... I
have been happily lurking and gleaning as I rebuild my ruff-as-a-cobb 325e.
How about a passionate debate on, let's say, how much wheel/tire will fit
under my fenders after I lower it 1.5", without metal mods? I await the
collective wisdom of bimmerheads, bimwads and, mostly, bubbas. (Feel free to
get brand specific!)

Thanks for the (mostly) enlightening and highly useful (not to mention cost
effective) info.
