beat them you bet

This reminds me of something funny, I was test driving an Audi for a friend.

Then it happens that I need to kick down to pass someone, then the sales guy told me that there's no need to drive like that, if you ease the throttle and $hit the power will come and stuff. I gave him a lecture for the full 10 mins ride back to the dealer about don't tell me how to drive. Even though I look young I have had almost 10 years of driving experience and if your car can't stand a simple operation like kicking down, I don't have interest and I will tell my friend what I think. Idiots
