My wife lusted after his Ralph Lauren 370ss demo forever and one day at the lake told Robert that we were going to "steal" it one day. As expected, his reply was "you know where the keys are and you are welcome to it."
My car dealer is the same way. "Come get the keys and drive it" has sold me more cars & trucks than all the pushy salesmen I have encountered times ten.
We bought our 280ss in February a couple of years ago. Drove over to Jasper, sat in it on the trailer behind the shop and got his guarantee that we'd love it. Bought it without ever having ridden in one and he was correct--for our purposes (me, wife and 2 young daughters--4 years old and year and a half) it's perfect for us. I'm sure had I tried to get him to sell me a Fastech he would have refused or at least hit me in the head with a stick and told me to come back when my senses had returned.
