GREAT, GREAT, GREAT KIA AD! Stomp out the "participation" trophy. You get a trophy for WINNING, not for being there.

Little kids' trophies?

Really??

I suppose when your greatest achievements all occurred before you hit adolescence, you hold onto what you can.

So if a "progressive" like me wants one,  how good can it be.  You better reconsider this one.

What kind of trophy should we give George W. Bush for leaving Barrack Obama a "stable" Iraq?

So when you're buying a car, the opinions that others will form about you based upon the car that you select is a concern of yours?

How sad.

I take it you own a KIA.

Of course, I'm in an image business.  Whether I like it or not.

By a show of hands, who on this forum has ever selected a real estate agent based upon the car that they drive?   I ask because Captain Werther's Original over here is trying to suggest that the car that a real estate agent - aka: the guy who shows up and unlocks the house for people who know how to view the MLS on their own - drives is a significant factor in that decision.

Don't all raise your hands at once now.

I met a real estate agent in California once who drove a Rolls Royce. It didn't impress me as much as it made me suspicious of doing business through him (I was looking at a San Clemente condo back then). I would have taken the money for that Rolls and invested it in the stock market somewhere, and gone back to my trusty Toyota.

People who try to impress others through their wheels have severe self esteem deficiencies.

I have owned a couple Vettes and they did help pick up women. Then one day it hit me. What the hell am I doing ? Men use luxury cars, women use their looks. I went through a lot of women and wasted a lot of time with very shallow ladies, behaving just like me. I'm much happier now on the downside  of middle age. Live and Learn.
