And when I bought my 370Z...it was before I even test drove it. Although, I did my research and have driven enough high end/sports cars that I knew I would love it...and I was right!
I could see how a dealership would require a deposit or show of interest before letting someone test drive the car. Which, my understanding is the person who made the post had intentions of possibly buying the car so a test drive seems reasonable. Just letting people walk in and take a car out does seem like a waste of time and a liability though.

I'm sorry if it sounded like I was calling you out. That is honorable that you turned down the test drive. I love the 911 too. I was fortunate enough to drive a couple of them years ago when I owned a detailing shop. I had a client that was a car collector, and even though I was 19 he was cool enough to let me come to his house and pick up and drop off his cars. He even let me drive his new at the time 1991 ZR-1, and gave me the "power key". Maybe one day I will get a 911.
