As an enthusiast I thought a job as a salesman at a local BMW dealership would be my dream job. Aside from the long hours and all the waiting it essentially is. I get to drive all the newest and coolest BMW's, Audis and Porsches just so I can be equipped enough to sell them properly. If only there were a test track next door this would be the ultimate employment experience.
The one thing I have found is that most of the people that work at this dealership are, like most of us, budget racers working in an industry that we understand. We are the freaks that keep the companies we love in the books as legends of the track. Forget about the big name racers with huge budgets. It is the little guys that spend huge chunks of their paychecks on a few days at the track while also keeping their cars running healthy enough to drive daily that make these cars what they are.
Just off hand I know of five guys here who regularly drive their roll cage equipped autos to work everyday. Heck, my boss drives a 911 carrera with a roll cage and a racing seat with five point harnesses.
This might be where I belong. Hell if I can sell a few of my favored brand every month I can earn a living and have fun while doing it. With a discount on parts and labor I might just get my car prepped properly soon. In the meantime I will just sit back at my desk with the 550i and 760Li propped up strategically in front and bask in the joy of German metal while waiting for my next smiling face.
Keep the dirty side down and enjoy.
Selfless plug - if you are looking for a new or used BMW, Porsche or Audi contact me and we will make your dream come true.
