Default Went for a test drive today

wanted to test drive a new 2010 GT and actually get on the highway. So I went to a dealership I didnt work at since all the sales people at my dealership knew I wasnt in a market for a car. So I get to the other dealership and since I cant drive standard well enough to be on the highway It had to be an auto, so I wasnt able to drive the grabber blue GT. So then he says what about an 09 I say sure. Then he comes backs and tells me that it would have to be an 08 pre owned So I agree. As im walking out he says its red and I dont recall seeing a red GT on the lot. so we start walking to the car and sure enough its a v6. I was like this is a v6 and he says they drive the same.... I reply well I have a v6 and looking to upgrade. He says oh. Needless to say I didnt get to actually drive a GT today FML. Guess Ill have to call back when they actually get an auto GT in or I learn how to better drive a standard. FML

How do they expect to sell cars if they don't have any to test drive?

Driving a stick on the highway is easier than driving it on the streets. I've seen the same 4 or 5 2010 Mustangs out front at my dealership ever since they got them.

I was just going to say, the highway is far easier than the streets.
