Now I'm one of "THEM"...
 
Well after about a year of being a full time student, I decided that I needed to get back into the workforce. I worked in sales prior to going back to school, so I figured I would go back into the same field.....

Sooo I now work at Broadway Toyota in Portland, OR as a sales consultant. I know some may already have their personal feelings about us "car salesman", but we shall see how it goes. The plus side is I have been training, and I have driven a 2011 camry, avalon, matrix, prius, tacoma, and probably tomorrow will take a 5th gen Runner out for a spin. I gotta say though, the avalon drives like a cadillac! Great car

Hopefully having one of our own on the inside will help change the perception of the car salesman. Good luck!

haha I have already been thinking about some different parts I could be getting, I don't even know what my discount is yet. But I will for sure be making some friends with some good toyota certified techs

oh and how did you do that to your cv axle? some trail carnage, or one of the downsides to rockin 35's?

haha funny story..i was behind a store on one of their loading ramps trying to flex out and the first time i did it i barely flexed out so I went further down and went too far. So I was climbing up to flex it out and then BAM!! I immediately knew it was my CV. I've heard the sound far too many times to not know what it is. :redbrick:

I am REALLY in need of a CV and would rather go OEM than cheap and buy an aftermarket. hint, hint. :lmao:
