Someone I know had a different experience.
He was driving along and though he might like to buy a convertible (he
does this). He stopped at a Honda dealership and asked to test drive
their convertible. He was dressed very casually at the time - shorts,
polo shirt, $2000 watch - and the salesman replied with "You can drive
it when you've bought it".
He just shook his head and went away. On his way home he passed a
Mazda dealership and saw a limited edition MX5 on display. They said
that the limited edition wasn't for test driving, but he could take
the standard model which drives the same so he could get a feel for
it. he came back from the test drive and pointed at the limited
edition and said, "I'll have one of those".
The salesman asked him to come inside to fill in the finance forms and
he just handed him his credit card and said "Just put it on this".
The salesman looked a bit shocked when he went in but was smiling when
he came out and said that the car would be ready on Wednesday.

But he forgot the most important part - driving back to the Honda
dealership with the credit card receipt, and waving it under the Honda
salesman's (and his boss') nose!
