I had on a smart grey sport jacket and Gucci shoes... and I rolled up in a Mercedes.

With my specific wants, I was willing to order a car and pay a premium if necessary. Their loss.
Better yet, I ran into the sales manager from that dealership at the local Sons of Italy Lodge. He was wearing a Nissan logo sweater and I asked what he did for Nissan. After finding out his position, I shared my story with him. He told me that sales person was no longer there and asked me if I'd like to come in and take that test drive. I told him he was way too late and another dealership got the sale.
He bought me a drink and offered me a test drive in the GT-R they have in the showroom.
I thanked him for the offer, but had to decline on principle. I don't go to dealerships and test drive cars just for joy rides. That kind of thing ruins it for those who are serious and actually want to buy a car.
