The salesman calls the Sales Manager, on speaker. He is trying to get me a better deal. Sales Manager guy tells salesman to come to his office. He excuses himself and heads over to talk to the big boss.
He left the phone on speaker.
I hear them laughing, I hear Salesboy bragging about how he's got this guy strung along and he's going to make a bunch of profit on the car I'm buying, plus get a great deal on the trade in. I'm sitting there in silence just listening. He gets back to the office shaking his head and telling me how tough he argued to get me the best deal he could.
I listened, just staring at him, as he sat down. That's when the guy I assumed was the Sales Manager came busting into the office. "BOBBY! Uh, your phone is off the hook!"
That's when I smiled. "Give me back my keys", as I got up to leave. There was a LOT of back-pedaling, and Sales Manager Boy tried to tell me he's not sure where my keys are. I didn't say a word but I walked up way too close to him. I was 6 inches from his face, and my face was not happy. "We" walked to the back to get my keys and I got in my car and left.
It took about three miles but I started to laugh. I drove into a carwash and left my car to get detailed while I walked across the street to Outback and had some Prime Rib for dinner. After that I picked up my car and drove it another 5 years. It had half a million miles on it, ten years old, before it got crunched up in a parking lot at work. I loved that car. It was a 1976 Volkswagon Scirroco Special Edition. Sort of like this but with more vintage wheels.

Mine had a glass sun roof, black leather and plaid cloth, spoiler in front with fog/driving lights, seats by Recarro, stereo by Blaupunkt with six speakers. Two 10″ speakers in the back, two 6″ speakers in the doors, another to in the console. It even had a cassette drive! I loved that car!
So, it was a good decision to not trade it then. I had it painted, put a new clutch in it that year. Upgraded the AC to a newer version that fit and still looked stock, had an engine rebuild at 400,000 with mostly new fuel injection, kept it running like new for over 500,000 miles. It was a blast to drive, right up.until 1987 when it finally was just destroyed. A very big panel truck smashed it in the parking lot of my office in Orlando. Best car I ever had.
