right now, the sales guy--
produced a gem or two, such as when I asked what he thought of the differences between the earlier ap1 and the 06 ap2. He came up with the ap1 was a track-only version, and as such, he hadn't driven one, but liked the ap2
when we went out to drive the Si (and after talking about how most people don't know how to "race shift" properly) he missed 3rd big time 
I think the best part of it was that I was wearing my PacNW shirt and had told him that I was interested in looking at an S and probably buying in spring sometime...and he tried so hard selling me on the Si and then after driving it and not liking it, started pushing the v6 accord coupe. I took a card and left at that point.

I test drove an 05' STi at Roy Robinson in Marysville that had an aftermarket HKS BOV. I didn't know until I started driving it and heard the hiss. I said "oh, this car mus have an aftermarket blow off valve." The salesman said "what's that?" Then there's the guy at Harbour Pointe Mitsubishi who said "yeah the EVO has a Momo steering wheel. Not sure what that means but I'm sure you do."
