Every time Taraji past this car dealership she would tell herself she was in need of a new car. She loved the look of the convertibles but didn’t feel it was appropriate for her lifestyle.  Today as she was passing she spotted a candied apple red Studebaker Champion. She just loved the body style with the wraparound rear window.  She drove on to the lot to check it out.  She was just out running so errands so had her jeans on and had just threw her hair in a ponytail and flopped a hat on her head.

When she parked and got out of her car the salesmen just sat there looking at her until one said “may I help you”.   When she told him she was interested in the red Studebaker Champion they all just kind of laughed.  After a few smarter ass comments from them Taraji asked to speak to the owner.  They called for Charlie.  When they told him I was looking to see the Studebaker Champion, Charlie had the same shitty attitude, like she couldn’t afford it.  When she told him how rude he and his sales people were he told her, “Well lady if you don’t like it why don’t you just buy the whole fucking lot and run it your way?”  They all just laughed hysterically.  All Taraji said was “I ‘ll be back”.

It took her a day to get it all together.  The next day Harry her accountant and six others who had her back headed back to the car dealership.  She walked in with Harry, didn’t see any other customers. Three of her boys walked in behind them and went in different directions.  Afterward two other walked in and one stayed outside.

The same asshole yelled “Hey Charlie she’s back” then just laughed.  Taraji just pulled out her gun and shot him. When Charlie heard the gunfire he came running out and everyone drew their weapons.  Taraji introduced Charlie to Harry and told him Harry was there to talk business with him.  Harry signals two of the boys, they escort Charlie back to his office.  Taraji just sat down in a chair, lit a cigarette and watched the other dumbass salesmen attend to the one she just shot.  She told herself she should have just killed the fucker, but had only shot him in the arm.

It only took Harry like fifteen minutes to convince Charlie it was in his best interest to sale the dealership and gave him an offer he couldn’t refused. When all was said and done two days later Taraji owned the car dealership.

She went in, cleaned house, fired all the salesmen accept for the one she shot, he sincerely apologized and  kept a few accounting people Harry recommended.

Taraji drove off in her new candied red Studebaker Champion.

Vic walked onto Taraji's no salesman car dealership.  He told her when she opens up her dealership, he would be one of her first customers.  Vic told her he wanted a candy red 1951 Mercury Monterey two door.   To his surprise she had four of them on the lot, one blue and another Green and one two tone, light brown and the other light brown.  Vic walked up to the office to get a price on his candy red Monterey.   

Things were pretty quiet around town but Taraji was hoping soon things would pick up and people would start buying her cars.  She knew that Victor-Luchese had stopped in and purchase a candied red two door 1951 Mercury Monterey.  She couldn’t believe they were both driving around in the same color car.

She hoped others would come in and check out the cars soon.   Don ShinigamiK, Lancelot and  Giorgio-Esposito were driving old jalopies, it was time for them to get new cars. She had some fine cars on the lot for the ladies.  HouseBunny, Moonlight, Glowing and Kamarile surely could find something to suit their styles.

All the cars were brand new, in great condition and priced really reasonable.  Maybe business would pick up soon she thought to herself.

Lorenzo finished his talk with the lads and took on the road to keep talking about the business ideas he had with them. As he walked by the pedestrain, he saw No Salesman Car Dealership. It felt as if fate took him there, as just a few days ago he was talking to Joey about getting himself a few rides around the city and what better place to start than his Home City of Detroit. 

He walked in and as the store said, no salesmen, they looked around. Lorenzo's eye caught a few cars, but he had his eyes on 2 specific vehicles, One was the Lincoln Continental and the Cadillac Coupe. He surely had a love towards the coupes. He went over to the counter, didn't even bother test driving it. 

The lady on the counter provided the details of the purchase and as the price was verified, Apollyon gave Joey the nod and he put down a few stacks of bills. It was enough to cover both cars including any insurance/warranty that would come with it. 

He got into the Cadillac Coupe and asked Joey to join him and gave the lads the 2nd car to follow him through. Given it was Taraji sbusiness and the word he got about her being around, he was surprised to see she was so well settled up in Detroit already. That women surely knew how to get what she wanted. His eagerness to meet her was increasing by the moment....

LadyHustle was on her way No Salesman Car Dealership.  This would be the first time she would see the business she inherited from her Mother.  She remembers the story about how she obtained the business.  She actually wonder why I was the way the am.

She parked the car, walked in the lobby and was amazed how many beautiful cars were being showcased.  A man walked up, introduced himself as Joseph, and then asked her if she would like to look at a few cars.  Oh shit Mai she remembered that’s the name of the man my mother shot.  Right away she knew she was going to give him a hard time, see if he learned how to be polite. 

The number one rule my mother insisted on was no salesmen.  You answer questions but don’t pressure anyone in buying a car.

Mai started with a red Chevrolet Corvette, then a blue Cadillac Coupe DeVille, then a Roadmaster.  Joseph was very polite, answered all her crazy questions.  After she got out of the Mercedes-Benz she laughed then introduced herself to Joseph.  He just laughed and told her it was nice to met her and that she really had him going there. 

Joseph took Mai back into the office and introduced her to the other staff.  They showed her how the books were set up.  Mai glance over the sales she notices that both Victor-Luchese and Apollyon had purchased cars there. 

Mai saw a stunning midnight blue Mercedes-Benz 300SL on the floor.  She asked Joseph to hold that car for her.  Her sister HouseBunny sure needed a new car and Mai knew she would love it.

Chimera needed a vehicle, nothing fancy but something to get to point a to point b without a hassle. His last car was bought used and had some transmission issues that kept it constantly in the workshop. He was convinced that the mechanics were deliberately creating and finding issues to keep making money off of him. It got him to the point where he was okay with purchasing a newer vehicle. He was loyal to a fault but his pockets weren't deep enough for the old whip.

"What's the cheapest you have on the lot?" Chimera asked shamelessly.

Alina’s last stop for the day was to meet Harry at the No Salesman Dealership. Harry had been the family lawyer for years.  He also had the sad tasks of making sure all properties and investments were correctly and legally turned over to the proper members of the family.   Alina was meeting him to sign the pertinent papers concerning this establishment and to pick up a car her mother had purchased.

Sure wasn’t like the usual car dealership when Alina arrived.  Usually when you walk into one a sales person will jump on you like a hawk.  A man politely walked over to her, told her welcome, to have a look around and if the keys weren’t in the car to just raise the red flag attached to the windshield wiper and he would bring them right over.

Just then Harry walked out of the back office and told him Alina was the person he was waiting for.  He escorted her to the office, introduced her to a few people and had her sign some papers.  Afterwards he took her to a private lot and gave her keys to the car in front of him.

Alina couldn’t believe she was the owner of this beautiful new candied red Studebaker Champion.

Skad was walking along the road with his coffee...He had a better feeling finally after gulping the Espresso a while back. He took one for the go also for the road. 

He had thoughts of buying a car in Detroit, so its easier for him to roll around for business purposes and such. The previous day or two they had to book/hire taxis to get the job done. Skad wasn't one to waste money if it wasn't required. Let it be for a Cab or even for food. He was always calculated and knew what he was doing, since every penny adds upto a million dollars was his motto. 

He ended up infront "No Salesman Car Dealership" a weird name he thought for a dealership without anyone who can advice on what to buy or sell. But again, if someone wants to buy something they'd atleast know what they'd like rather than walking in with a empty head and no thoughts. 

As Skadoosh entered, he could see the place was really elegant and nicely setup. A few models were presented in the front and a few in the back also. A gentleman walked over and offered to help and if he needed anything he can ask for his assistance. Skad "Ill just look around for the time being and see what I like"

"Surely sir, would you like anything to drink"? 

"No thats ok. Im a bit full atm, just had a coffee" His eyes fell on the Cadillac Coupe DeVilles as it had a nice elegant finish to it, yet not too attractive. It had nice attractive windows and he knew what he needed that for as he thought to himself. 

Meanwhile he could see a lady inside speaking with another man in the office...A few moments later she walked out "Like anything you see?" she said. Alina was the name she went by...

She had that strong and independent look. Was wearing a vibrant dress and could tell she had some Alpha feel to her. 

Alina was in the market for meeting new people.  What better way than to strike up a conversation about a car she thought to herself when she saw a nice looking gentleman walk into the dealership with the two way mirror in the office. 

You see anything you like she asked when she approached him.  He told her he had his eye on that Cadillac Coupe DeVilles as he pointed but wasn’t used to not having a sale persons explain the details.

My name is Alina and yours? As she extended her hand.  He took her hand, kissed it, told her his name was Skadoosh and it was nice to meet her acquaintance.

Well sometimes sales people can be pushy, over-ambitious and way too aggressive.   All the cars are new, up to par and we guarantee you won’t have a problem with then.  We would rather you have an enjoyable experience when selecting the car of your choice instead of being harassed by sales people.

Alina walked over to the car Skadoosh had been checking out and rubbed her hand on the hood.  Indeed a beauty.

Skad and Alina both shook hands. Indeed, pleasure making your acquaintance. 

"Ahh, well thats a good concept you got going there. Normally Id just expect someone to greet me and that's about it. I know my deal with the cars, since I was a kid I was always interested in them. 

My idea is to get one in each city so I don't have to wait or depend on Public transportation and so on. I just recently got started and moved into the states not long ago. 

And I couldn't agree more with you on the Sales aspect of things. Its always about getting the sale rather than offering a customer the experience of buying/viewing something. 

Well Ill take your word for that car then. And if there is any trouble, Ill be sure to just bring it back here for repairs and checking. He pulled out a cigarette and asked if it was ok to smoke? Alina gave a smile and nodded "Surely, go ahead. Feel free"

So how does this work? Do you take cash or any other sort of payments? I prefer to deal in cash if that's ok? Can I get this signed and out today Alina"? 

Alina smiled at Skadoosh and tried to be as polite as possible.  The cars are cash only, non refundable and we do no repairs.  You buy it, it's yours.  We haven't had a complaint yet.  However if you are dissatisfied with the car, you my friend are welcome to bring it back and I will personally handle it.

Skad could see a Alina was taken back a little with the comment he made. He had no intention of disrespecting her, but was under the impression that they also repaired the cars there. 

"Surely Alina. That sounds like a plan and appreciate that special service. But I highly doubt it that it will have trouble, but over time just like any vehicle or item, things will have wear and tear, but I doubt Ill keep it that long. As I like to keep refreshing things every few months or so, to make sure I can maintain my identity on a low profile"

"May I interest you for a cup of coffee or dinner maybe? If you're not busy at all? I was hoping to discuss more about some business ideas and see if there is any investment I can make with you. Because if i remember right, I also saw you at the inaugration of your new jets/flights at the airport that other day when I was getting off."

Skad waited for her response but was skeptical that she might say yes, given he just met her...

I think dinner sounds rather nice.  She told  Skadoosh especially since he mentioned he saw he at the airlines inauguration of the new fleet.  She didn't want to miss the opportunity of discussing an investment with him and maybe getting to know him better. She escorted him back into the office so he could handle the business with the car. 

I will be leaving for the West Coast in the morning for a few days.  Here's my number she grabbed a pen and piece of paper of the desk and wrote it down for him.  Please feel free to call me in a few days and we can make plans for dinner to happen. Now I will let you finish your business with the car.  I hope you enjoy it and hope to hear from you soon. 

Alina was kind enough to accept Skad's offer for the dinner. She had a busy schedule and had to get out soon and decided to catch up later once they both had time.

"Sure, that sounds good Alina. I m looking forward to that"

Skad finishes signing up all the documents required for taking the car out. Meanwhile she hands him her personal phone number to reach her later to organise a meet. 

Well, it was great speaking with you. Thanks for your time and wish you a good day and yes, I surely will enjoy the car :) Looking forward to it myself, will let you know how it goes when we catch up next time. 

They both parted ways and Skad waited for the cars and the gentleman handed him the keys and he got into the car few moments later and drove off.

Wilt needed transport because his legs were getting tired walking around.  Now that there was a possibility of HeadCoach giving him a starting spot, wheels were important.  And for someone as high profile as Wilt, they needed to be good quality wheels.  Problem was, at seven feet tall and being able to bench press 600lb legroom, headroom and just general space was needed.

He walked into the No Salesman Car Dealership, a novel way of doing things to see what was on offer.  He eased himself into a seat barely big enough for the likes of EduardoCojones let alone someone like Wilt and started looking at some brochures.  A van!  That might be the thing, plenty height, plenty legroom, a nice upright driving position so his back wouldn’t be strained and let’s be honest, if it was big enough, he could fit a mattress in there for mobile women conquesting (the conquesting being mobile rather than hitting on the homeless…stars have standards as his old pappy used to tell him).  He wasn’t going to get to 25,000 women by not thinking outside the box.

Jester was used to riding around town on his unicycle.  It’s not that he needed something with one wheel - it’s just that he likes something unique that not many other people had.

having a vehicle couldn’t hurt and Jester didn’t much like people - let alone salesmen- that much. 
 

He was in Detroit and heard of the unique idea of a car dealership without a salesman. If that was unique, maybe there would be a unique car there for him.

He was looking around and finally found something that he thought was pretty cool. It was a deusenberg with a pair of titties painted on the side of it. You can’t get much more unique than that. 
 

so - he happily left some money in the dealership and drove off in the Deusenberg with his unicycle thrown in the trunk.

Sal wanted a car that he could just cruise around in without the guys driving him.   He walked onto Taraji's no salesman car dealership.  He told the salesmen that he wanted a Ford customline coup.  They had four, one in white, black, blue and pink.   Sal selected the 1951 white coup.  Sal paid cash and signed his name on the bottom line of the paper.  The two-door coup had speed and power.   Excited to hit the road Sal drove his car around the city hitting Woodard Avenue and cruising slowly as he hit a left onto Lafayette then a right unto east Grand Blvd right onto Belle Island.  He cruised around the island and then drove back to his place.    

Alina pulled into the dealership in her new candied red Studebaker Champion.  She was so proud to be driving around in it.  It sure gave her a sense of pride.  She just wanted to check and see how things were going.  She wanted to make sure the customers knew that there were no pressure on them when buying a car but they did have qualified people there to answer any questions they had regarding any particular car but no high pressure sales people you find in most dealership. 

When looking through the sales she was glad to see she had new members of different organizations like Wilt_Chamberlain and Jester and come in and purchased a car.  She hopes that they were pleased with the service and their cars and would pass the word around. 

Samantha let out a low whistle while she slowly approached the Lincoln Continental Mark II. She'd been waiting across the street from the lot at a bus shelter, and the midday sun had been reflecting so harshly off of all that windshield glass that she'd had to put on a pair of sunglasses. The bus was still several minutes away, so Sam had crossed the avenue and walked onto the lot for the heck of it.

"Well you're just something, aren't you?" White paint and whitewall tires. You could never sneak around in this baby, it would be terrible for stakeouts or getaways, but gosh, it was a looker! 

Sam found a salesman, asked a couple of the usual questions, got the keys, and took her for a ride. The temptation to just split town without paying was there, but after a few moments of inner debate, she decided against it. The salesman on the lot hadn't been one of those high-pressure types, and he'd been helpful, so it seemed wrong to do that. Besides, she likely wouldn't make it out of town before getting caught.

Back at the lot, Samantha found the same salesman. There was no haggling, she just paid sticker price and soon afterwards,  she was driving away in her new dream machine.

Hobbs didn't need a car of his own. He was chauffeured every where by 180-200 bodyguards. On one of his latest drives around the malnourished Mug City he had found a car forecourt slightly overgrown due to no active salesman (Who'd make the coffee? What about the free snacks?). It was no wonder the place had gone under, and Hobbs was sure it was nothing to do with the death of the previous incumbent owner.  As he moved around trailing behind his entourage he saw signs of recent use and custom

"Weird people are buying these cars that haven't been serviced or maintained" he said to bodyguard #1. "Pass that down the line, the rest of the guys need to hear of my witty observations."

As he continued he came across a couple of well known faces who frequented old businesses together. Curious. Very curious. He'd never seen Alina in the 12th Street Toilets or the Library, but she was here?

He ordered ten of his fittest bodyguards to run off and look for BBB to alert him to the potential business opportunity. He hated that guy with the heat of a thousand suns, but he knew BB was a business man by trade.

Whilst waiting he walked around investigating the merchandise.

"Hmm, I think what we need is more Model T's. In fact, all Model T's. That car was a REAL car. From this day forth, the only cars we will sell are Ford Model T's."

Hobbs nodded

"Check that office there for the paperwork for rights to the business. Hoobs is going to sell cars."
