This is Not About A Noble Used Car Salesperson

in #outofthinairlast year

Sometimes I can't decide on a cover image because I either have more than one to choose from and by the time I narrow my choices down to two too many it's a coin toss and I don't have much use for coins or I just don't have anything in my arsenal that says used car saleswomenmenpeople are mufukinbloodsuckin scumbags so an evening river walk in London it is.

We need a second vehicle. :time out:

We don't need a second vehicle. We want one, sometimes, I mean. :time in:

We drive a Subaru Outback now, those things go anywhere. The next one doesn't necessarily have to compare to the Outback but it at least needs to be luxury and all-wheel drive. I'll probably end up getting another Subaru anyway but I found a Lincoln MKZ the other day that checked a lot of boxes. I linked it cuz I don't remember seeing Lincoln's outside the US.

It's freezing cold outside; gloves, beanie, long sleeves converted to snot rags, walls of snow on both sides of the road. You know it's cold when you can sit inside your car at a used car dealership in the middle of the day unbothered by a salesperson.

I got out, tip-toed and hopped like a night out with Jack Sparrow toward the front office, methodically avoiding slushy ice water puddles between the car and entrance doors.

Can I help you?


What brings you here today?

Two different salespeople, a dude and a chick, each distracted by their computer screens look away from their desk to welcome me.

Some years ago, I probably would've made eye contact with the dude, it's nothing personal. After touring a good chunk of our globe the past six years with Pura, however, and experiencing the way majority of cultures disrespect the living shit outta women, I make eye contact with them now when given the option.

I wish I didn't!

Had I allowed him to assist me instead of her I could've said what I really thought instead of bite my tongue out of respect for the twat had he tried to pull the same shit she did.

We talked a little bit about the car while the blizzard outside intensified. I got the whole lot to myself, no one else is car shopping today.

One owner. No accidents. AWD. Power everything. Ch-check, ch-check dot dot dot.

Small talk. Key fob. Points out the Lincoln. Back to the elements goes me.

I pushed the button. It fired right up and purred like krazzytrukker's kat. Next button I found was the seat heater. It works—turned it all the way up. This one's got a heated steering wheel, fancy, the Subaru doesn't have that. It works too—all the way up. Both sunroofs work. All the windows work. Seats, dash controls, everything seems to work. Defrost works, it's just taking a little longer than normal.

I exited the lot onto whatever Highway that was and smashed the gas pedal to make sure the all-wheel drive works. It'll either hook up or not.

It hooked up. Didn't break traction at all, 60mph before I knew it. I'm the only car on the road.


E34F1EDE-0F51-4C28-8329-CFD7F716901F.jpeg


Good thing❗️

Between about 61 and 80mph the whole car shook so bad I wish I never found the steering wheel heater. You know how in war movies there's always that scene where dude's half in, half out the helicopter, firing a giant machine gun out the door all Ba!Ba!B Bbb! Ba!Ba!Ba!Ba!Ba!Ba!Ba!B Bbb! B! BB! Ba!Ba!Ba!Ba!Ba BB! Ba!Ba!Ba! B! Bbb! and 50-cal shells are ejecting from the weapon at the same rate every muscle in his forearms twitch trying to maintain control of it?

That was me on that hot ass steering wheel!

I slowed down and turned around. Could be something as minor as unbalanced tires. Could also be something major.

Either way, it's something.


Returned to the lot. I parked as close as I could to the entrance doors to avoid unnecessary Jack Sparrow steps.

Nice car, right? How did you like it?

She said all bright eyed and smiley before the door closed behind me like she gives two shits about anything I think other than whether or not I'm gonna buy it.

I didn't. It shakes real bad over 60mph, did you know that? Probably something minor like wheel weights or struts. But it could also be wheel bearings and a power steering pump. If you guys fix it and call me, I'll come back and drive it again.

That's because it's cold...

That's not all. She continued talking out her ass like I'm a fuckwad who has no idea how a car works.

That's because it's cold outside. Those cars need 10-15 minutes to warm up and then they stop shaking.

She said that.

Are you stupid or have you talked out your ass so long you actually believe your shit?

...Is what I did not say.

Really?! C'mon, never. She's a used car saleswoman, probably practices talking out her ass every time she's stuck in traffic but I'm not gonna point out how stupid she is. I'm not rude I'm prickly.

I let it warm up for about 15 minutes in the parking lot, that's not it. It's probably nothing, just some misbalanced tires. You have a mechanic on site, right?

She said they did and that she'd send the car to the shop and have it looked at. I gave her my number, told her if they figured out what's wrong with it and fixed it, give me a call.

She called me the next evening, said I was right. Both the owner and the mechanic agreed, she said, there's something wrong with the car.

If you agree to buy it, come down here and sign a contract, we'll send the car to the dealer to have the shaking issue assessed.

This broad can't be for real. First it's too cold to drive like a normal car and now they'll get it looked at only after I agree to buy it.

That's not how this works.

I told her no, said some other stuff too but kept it cordial. I just wanted off the phone at that point. Couldn't believe anything she said.

She said if I changed my mind, yata yata, something, something else.

I told her I wouldn't. We hung up, haven't heard from her since. Has it always been like that? Maybe I haven't shopped enough used cars.


We still have the one car. Nice car, though. I wish we didn't need it. Traveliving the past six years, we didn't need one, that was nice. The US is way too vast for that and still too new to rely on public transportation. Owning a vehicle here is necessary.

So, if you see someone thumbing for a ride out there with a German Shepherd and tattoos all over his hands, relax, she's a good dog. If you're not gonna stop you could at least swerve dangerously close and holler expletives. It gives me something to write about.

Sort:  

What a load of shit lol. They are hoping for some other poor dumbass to buy it which is why they aren’t going to fix it until after you bought it. It’s unfortunate because the car dealers need the business these days but that’s pathetic lol.

One thought I did have is ice on the tires but you would’ve felt that sooner.

Is that normal? Maybe I haven't shopped enough used cars lately. If the seller, mechanic and purchaser all agree there's something wrong with it at that point it's a permanent fixture on the lot til it's fixed.

Selling it in that condition says a lot about their character. Unless that's just how it is now.

Thanks!

That's because it's cold outside. Those cars need 10-15 minutes to warm up and then they stop shaking.

Man. I can imagine the look on your face. Wtf. This reminds me of the time I told the policeman I was speeding because I was running out of petrol and had to get to the service station fast. Needless to say he didn't give me a ticket as he was so gobsmacked he forgot.

I like Subarus. Very common down in Tasmania. I'd have one if I didn't have my van.

I wouldn't have a Subaru if I had your van.


Good morning, River. It's morning here.

I'll remember that one should I ever get stopped for speeding. Officer, I wasn't speeding, I was gaining momentum.

Thank you. <3

I just want to know how exactly the cold causes the shakes?

Had a friend that was a used car salesman but the fucker couldn't turn it off, was like that with everything. He ended up being a much better cocaine salesman, which probably explained some of that but it eventually earned him a bid that brought his car selling days to a close.

Seasonal tires Lincoln runs I guess. Cold and shakes violently in the winter but man you should see'em hook up in the summer!

I wouldn't doubt it. Like an IRS agent, can't just turn that off. I swear those agents have a strict selecrion process?

• Are your parents dead?
• Have you ever tried to commit suicide?
• Do you live alone in the dark?
• Do you despise the word pet?

If you answered yes to all four you're hired!

Whaddup Jethro.

Aren't Lincolns just Fords with fancier plastic and double the sticker price? Could be the source of the problem right there...

Ha, I think you're right. Used car sales has a fifth requirement I think: Are you incapable of going for more than thirty seconds without talking?

Not shit, living the high life. 😎

Next time you're in one those country gas stations, look around for what we call a 'metro piston' (not their actual name but what we always called them) it's basically a small catalog of classified ads for cars printed on recycled paper. All the used car dealers were shady where I grew up, so that's how everybody bought and sold cars without dealing with them.

Yep… all car salespeople are like that hahaha 🤣
We needed a car after the move, told us anything… promises a few things… we bought the car and those things were never done.
Extra bad when you are under time restrictions and only have 2 days to look for a car. !LOL

Good you walked away.
Happy Tuesday @dandays 👋🏻😊

There's that breath of fresh air they call LittleBee. Hello.

What kind of car did you guys get? Unless you're way way way out there in UK, public transport was pretty accessible. And reliable. That was nice.

Ever purchase a vehicle with a translator? We did that in Central America once. That was rough. I didn't trust any of them anyway so depending on a translator wasn't easy.

Worked out in the end. But I'm glad I only had to do that once.

Hello you 👋🏻

We are wayyyyy out in the middle of nowhere, so we needed one hehehe first city (large town) is 1 hour 15 minutes away. And in between nothing… maybe 6 farms.
Let’s say the roads here are rather interesting hahaha 🤣
We got a Volvo XC60 4WD for the mountains and snow and off road options.

I can only imagine… the adventures we go through, others can’t imagine.
Good it did work out though.

Nice. Those are a lot like our Subaru. Things go anywhere.

Vehicle prices between there and here are embarrassing. I would see nice, AWD Volvos for sale there regularly between 10-20k. Here, in the states. They start at 50k.

All vehicles. I would even see Range Rovers there under 50k. Those things start at 100 here.

Show me a picture.

Thanks, yep like yours. It can do the same.
Wow… really that’s such a difference… ouch
That’s a lot. Totally not needed. As long as they hold the values.

All shiny there when we picked it up a couple of moths ago… now.. full of snow, dirt and salt ☃️☃️

You got photos of the Subaru?

Mmm Nice car.

I just went through my images, not a single one. Looks a lot like yours, same color too. Pura's got it right now. I so love those cars, all-wheel drives. We're in the mountains with rain and snow regularly. It was snowing this morning actually. I feel so much better when she drives one of those.

I owe you a photo. Here's a couple shots of our last one, I'll replace them with the new one when she gets back.

Cool… same colour 😎
The old one is nice too. They are so sturdy and safe… it will get us around for sure.

Looking forward to a photo from the current one 😊

@dandays, I sent you an $LOLZ on behalf of @littlebee4

(1/6)
Use the !LOL or !LOLZ command to share a joke and an $LOLZ

Nobody showed up for the date 🥲.

Love the look of that Lincoln 😍 the colour is superb.

Goodluck next time.

Always late but worth the wait.

Well, hello. Again. Thanks for checking me out two days in a row.

It's a good looking car huh? It doesn't have the ground clearance the Subaru has which I really appreciate for mud and dirt and snow but for street purposes only, I thought it was a nice car

Then it Sh-Sh-shshshshah-Sh-shook all over the place.

😂😂 ...and the lady you thought to give a chance tried to deceive you out of your not-naive self. Oh well, there are other shops huh! Again, goodluck.

PS: It's always a pleasure "checking you out" or bumping into you. Have a great day!

😂😆

so, u didn't get her #??

Nah. I know where she works.

Dude, you dodged a bullet anyway. This area is riddled with those MKZs that kept breaking down until the owners couldn't afford to get them repaired anymore. Only upside to them is that used parts are probably cheap.

We have a Suzuki Grand Vitara here. It drives just like a Subaru on shitty roads, and they are available with some pretty posh options. You can also find used ones in impeccable shape. If you can find one with the 2.7L V6, that engine is an absolute tank.

I haven't looked at them, probably more affordable too, I'll check it out now. Out of all the 4x clubs I've been out with, the Suzuki samari club still outperformed everything else.

I didn't like was the ground clearance anyway but it had a lot of other cool things. And then that.

Silly girl.

Are you on discord? I need a title for a community I haven't made yet. Something that says nothing specific but I was thinking of a 21st century twist like content neutral.

So, are you?

I almost forgot. Thanks for keeping up with me however long we've been doing this.

I am on Discord... paradoxtma#whatevernumber they gave me.

Thanks for thinking that I've been keeping up. Has it been years now?

LoL. A real one that makes noise, not an imposter lol like everyone always types.

Ok, I should be able to find you pretty easy with whatever number they gave you.

My question is, are they just going to leave it as it is and hope the next potential buyer just doesn,t test drive it above 60mph.
Either that or she'll let it warm up for the necessary 20 minutes while she bullshits the customer. I agree with her, that should solve the shaking problem, not.

By the way, how do you have the audacity to upset the young lady by not signing on the dotted line before the car went to the shop. How dare you.
You have to have a little more faith in what people say.

All of that fake news and shit is fake,
everything is real
so next time make the deal
without even a hint of a squeal
keep it real!

Wait a minute did you just
I think you did
Feathered friends and homestead
Framed images and now this
All from a guy who once told me he
Can't spread peanut butter and jelly


What's up Sweed? Thanks for checking this one out. Tell farm-mom thanks for the reblog.

I think if they wouldn't address it for a serious potential buyer, they won't address it for anyone. Like you said, they'll probably wait til someone buys it without driving it.

Dirty.

I'll stop and give the dog some water but there's no room in the Landship for hitch hikers unless Pilot gives up his throne in the front seat...

I really appreciate the help, thank you. I'll be fine, really, a couple expletives and I'm good but they definitely can't go long without water.

Good thing you didn't get screwed...shaking after 60mph because it is cold...well at least she tried :-D Good luck on finding a car, hopefully you will find an awesome deal!

I'd rather not have any vehicles or at least be content with one is more than enough. They got all of us believing they're an asset rather than a convenience or liability. And these days they're more expensive than a house. What the..!

Thanks Peg! Your art is looking excellent my man.

They really are just a convenience, and ven then. As an example when covid came by, we did not use the car at all, it became a hassle to just start it every month. After a year and a half, we barely bother to start it and got rid of it. We bassically seem to really need it like once ot twice a year, so a few days rental and that is it. :-) (I actually save a bundle)

The salespersons could literally do anything to get the car bought. Even if it means giving a comprehensive essay about the car.

Y'all's conversation afterwards seemed so intense and I feel should would have lost it but customer care. Why would they agree to fix a problem only when you've bought the car? Totally absurd.

At least you got a ride in the car.

Good, it's not just me.

Hello, Wongi. Always a pleasure when you stop by. Thanks for the reblog.

I was just telling someone else how I could expect that from a private party but would still expect them to disclose it to me and sell the car As-Is.

But not a dealership with a mechanic on site.

Pass!

Hello, Wongi. Always a pleasure when you stop by. Thanks for the reblog.

Oh don't mention. It's a pleasure ✨

But not a dealership with a mechanic on site.

It gets more hilarious. They had a mechanic on site yet they went ahead to 'act naive'... Absurd.

Pass

This was basically the best option.

Another buddy looking at a Lincoln, I love it. Just so happens to be an MKZ as well, which is what @daltono just purchased. Lucky for him, it doesn't shake above 60mph....maybe he warms his up for 20 minutes! lol, def something wrong with it, what an idiot of a car sales person.

Legit tho, dope ass car. I had the MKT and loved it. Like I told @daltono, it checks all the boxes...just make sure it's a 2013 or newer. Not sure what year you test drove.

What's up Mr restaurateur? Tom Macdonald and Lincoln, noted,I know how to get your attention.

2019—Super nice car. On paper. That's the second time I got this close to getting one. I test drove one back in about 2016 too. That one was super nice too.

You should stop by more often, this is cool. Been too long. Thanks, mang.

Tom Macdonald and Lincoln, noted,I know how to get your attention.

Si! Def good call.

I clicked the link after I posted and saw it, 2019. beautiful car man. Love the new grill and body style. I'm sure there's one out there for ya, it'll just fall in your lap. Well, hopefully not literally, that would be bad. But ya catch my drift.

I'm trying man, busy busy busy.

How are the kids adapting? I'm all eyes.

Have your in-laws been down?

Kids are doing well, growing fast and making friends in the neighborhood. Really cool to see them without us on their hips, doing their own thing.

In laws have been down once. Had a good time. But not their scene, apparently.

Dang man that's about as good of a response as I could get, congrats. That's cool, doesn't have to be their scene to visit. Very cool.

Are the kids picking up Spanish quickly? They're probably already fluent.

They’re getting there, def not fluent yet. But I’m pretty impressed with where they’re at considering we haven’t immersed them 100%. Still too many English speakers talking to them all the time, lol. But it will come.

Good for you sticking to your guns and being right and all. Who buys the first car they see anyway?

ME, that's who. I bought a new Hyundai Accord off the lot in 2011 and that thing is still in excellent condition, has never needed repairs other than new tires! Sometimes we get lucky, and sometimes we don't.

I hope you get lucky. Who knows?

I guess with a private party that could be expected, yay? Nay? I'd like to think they'd inform us like As-is: Needs something something. But at a dealership?

I can't complain about Subaru either. This is the second time I got one. The roads here are rainy, often icy, mountain roads. I feel so much better with Pura driving an Outback.

Thank you.

People love their Subarus, but I am not one of them. I had a Subaru Impreza there for a short time. The mpg was pathetic, it burned oil for no apparent reason ("Subarus just do that" I was told at the dealership), and it drove like a tank. I didn't need 4wd anyway, so I gave that one to my other daughter who lived in Vermont, and got me a Honda Fit which gets great mpg, handles very well, and, at the time I bought it, had the same safety rating as the Impreza. It's a bizarre color so that I never lose it in parking lots, and it has a very versatile interior for carting around my crap. Hey! Maybe I should become a car saleperson for Honda! That's the ticket!

boy would I ever suck at that

It's a bizarre color so that I never lose it in parking lots..

I call those One At This Price!

= }

I straight up also bought the first car I saw! It's beeping all the time and tells me "STOP" in big red letters, but it still move forward when I press the pedal. It's a keeper!

Used car sellers are a bit scammy, eh? 😂

I would love to have a car again... but even the second hand cars are very expensive right now. The cheapest ones are something like 4500€ for a 20 year old car with 270.000 kms!!! 🤡🌍

So... I keep walking and using the Metro. Not the best thing but as long as prices are like this, I don't even think about buying any car.

I really enjoyed not needing a car in your country. I miss it actually. We spent a month in Costa De Caparica. Loved it.

What's up man? Prices are ridiculous here too. There's no such thing as a shitty car anymore, I don't know what happened to them all. And they're outrageously overpriced.

Majority of society here thinks it's normal to pay more each month for their car than their house.

You should have said it. I wouldn't care if it was a guy or a woman. That's the sort of thing they'd say here, and I'd have been away for good...but if you really liked the car....

Maybe the part about agreeing to buy it and then getting it fixed isn't too far fetched...

1989, I saw a Lancia Prisma Symbol, I fell in love. It was rare, cheap, something different to all the other boy racers in their XR3i and had all the bells and whistles of the time as well as that certain Italian provenance that meant I was going to be as cool and smooth as the car, as well as having to fix it all the time. So I took it for a test drive and I was hooked. Got back, had a last look around and underneath where I and a huge pool of oil which looked like it was coming from the gearbox housing. Stuck a finger in. Yup, gearbox oil. The salesman took it out back and put it on the ramps and sure enough, there was a huge crack in the casing.

I did love that car...

He said to me, if you buy it, I'll throw in a three year, full blown warranty for free (which would have been worth about 20% of the cost of the car!) and you can have that 323i on the forecourt as a courtesy car until yours is fixed.

I bought it.

Thing is, I hadn't been sharp enough to realise the dealer was basically pulling a fast one on the warranty company, in my name! Or perhaps I was sharp enough. Perhaps I wouldn't have cared back then although I should have.

It took three weeks to get a brand new, full gearbox over from Italy and fitted and I got the car back. No problems giving back the BMW, I loved my Lancia...

Now after reading this, I wonder if there's a similar scenario being played out?

Its because it cold lol...seriously. The lady is Thai, or if she's not. She ought to be!

I still wasn't cool but my car was, and the hot hatches and XR£is of the time were mincemeat but thank the lord I had that warranty!

You both have a wonderful weekend young man. Keep em coming, I'm ready with eyes peeled this time :-)

Sounds like you purchased a warranty dot dot dot.

Your situation is more comfortable. They didn't even offer me a warranty. I was just to take them at their word they'd have it assessed. Not sure what's up with people these days man, it can't all be covid, can it? It's getting tougher and tougher to believe anything anyone says.

Just yesterday I was to have a great big giant oak tree removed from the yard. Lightning hit it, it's about 50 yards off our back deck but it's threatening the house behind us now.

Anywho.. Two week prep, they have to set up in the neighbors yard, reach over his house, et cetera so timing and planning between our house and theirs is critical.

Dude. No call no show until 3pm yesterday that an outrigger is being repaired and they'll be out next Friday. I explained how I have to plan again and was kinda irritated about the whole thing. They didn't even say sorry.

Not sure what this has to do with anything I guess except for people are liars now and their word doesn't mean anything.

OH my god these car sales people suck everywhere, that's clear to me now :)
I'm so happy we are done with that bull crap dealing with mostly scammers or people not even responding. I'm happy with the car we bought but of course we also found a few issues that weren't mentioned or that we didn't notice first. Minor things but still..

I hope you find a good one soon, but this crap agreeing to buy it first and then take it for repair, well that would be a stupid move lol...

Walk away and wait for the next option :)

!PIMP


You must be killin' it out here!

Read about some PIMP Shit or Look for the PIMP District

Good 'morning.' I caught that sunset. I mean the photo of your car along the shore with the sun setting behind it.


It's bad enough people think it's ok to spend more for their car than they do on food or their house or anything else. They've commoditized vehicles like medicine. Really wish we needed zero or, worst case, only need one but there's times two would be convenient.

I'll hold off as long as I can. Guess I gotta be warey venturing used dealers—bastages. I kinda want an electric one anyway. Or a Subaru. Or nothing!

Decisions decisions.

Thank you. !LUV

Morning!

Good 'morning.' I caught that sunset. I mean the photo of your car along the shore with the sun setting behind it.

You know it was a fake background right? :) I don't like showing the area in pictures as I still have this nasty ex in another country and until today I don't feel comfortable revealing my whereabouts exactly. :) The car is ours though, just not the nice background.

We had this nightmare buying cars in Hungary, but how could it not be a nightmare not speaking the language and mostly dealing with gypsies. They scam their own people (so they told us) who can understand them, let alone a few expats who can't understand them anyway. Add to that the non-willing attitude to have a convo using translator apps and you are facing shitty situations, awkward :)

In Spain at least we could talk partially English, partially Spanish added some translations as most people here aren't rude and closing the door when you use a tool to help you chat with them. It felt like a shitty nightmare once again, it was intense, but the search was not as long as in Hungary. And the outcome was definitely a lot better and a real upgrade in many ways. Although we still miss our Mazda 6 station wagon as it was a nice car to drive, just many issues lol.

A smaller car is much more convenient here, we never actually used the station wagon space besides the fact that we all had loads of leg room. But talking to people around the world, buying a second hand car has become a true head ache globally :) #IFeelYou

Have a good weekend sir!

We felt like that in Central and South America. We couldn't get out of there fast enough actually.

We did the whole car shopping ordeal down there, too. Got what we thought was a decent deal only to learn it wasn't. Know what, though? I learned a valuable lesson that year we toured Central and South America.

The better their English, the faster you run!

Means they really mastered their craft—snakes.

Now that was a great read...(dots)

Oh geez lol...what a car shopping experience! My son and I are heading out tomorrow to shop for a vehicle and I am not looking forward to it. For just such reasons as you have told here. Pretty sure a nightmare is coming for me in my sleep lol. Good luck on your search!

Yikes. Good luck with that. It's challenging enough knowing where to go but todays prices are outrageous too.

Do you have something specific in mind? Shopping for you I assume or your son?

We have need of a pickup truck. We are hauling hay, feed, fencing materials and lumber so a car is not an option. My son is buying and I am driving....what could be better?!? LOL

Yes, the prices, grrr...wonder if I can spare a kidney?

Truck, ouch. Those are yikes. When did that happen? Back when I was a kid and vehicles weren't outrageous, trucks were never more expensive than sports cars.

Now you can't find a decent used truck for the same price as a brand new sports car.

Keep me posted. Good luck!

Probably something minor like wheel weights or strut

Yes sir! I've been told if it's at 110km/hour, it's the front wheels, and if it's around 130km/hour, it's the back wheels. It's apparently linked the tire balancing and parallelism.

It got fixed on mine once I went down a ditch. It fixed it!!! The ditch fixed it!!

What the hell is a km?!


Ed, whaddup dude? Did you see the puppy?

I've only ran a couple cars in ditches and now that you mention it, I totally agree, they drive a lot better after that.

Nice to see you.

I hope you find the perfect car - your puppy still needs to stay off her feet 😂

!PIZZA !ALIVE !LOL

Hey what's up man? Two visits in the same day.. The Luckiest Guy I Know strikes again. Thank you.

I sure wouldn't mind the opposite happening and by some miracle we need zero cars. My mom always told me want in one hand, :censored: in the other, see which one fills up faster.

Not needing them would be great 😂 But then you'd be walking all day...

She's starting to chew???

I see she's probably pulling too, have you considered a head harness? It would definitely be easier on her leg and your arm!

Only like a shark uses their teeth to smell is all.

I've always had good results with pinchers. Just until they don't need leashes at all but for training purposes, I'm a fan of them.
