The recorded message is hysterical.

Mr. Lire seems to be struggling for words as he records his response.

He is got a weak voice.

I think that my initial guess is right: he must be married to the owner's sister (or daughter).

No one with his poor command of the English language and poor people skills could possibly rise to his position (at a Benz dealer no less) without an inside connection.

This thread is wild. I'm going to ask my service manager if he knew of the guy, he had worked at a NJ dealer in the past.

Darkone, dont get arrested and miss the meet and I can't wait to see your car!

Don't worry, I'll be there.
They'd never arrest me. Long story which I don't want to cover here, but I'll tell ya at the show. remind me. I wasn't allways a mechanic. I'm sorta on the Government "A" list. and I'm too smart to get caught should anything happen. But that's another story...

Too smart to get caught? There are 6 pages here where you detailed everything, and you even made a veiled threat.

BENZ-LGB gave you some good advice. You might want to consider it.

We all know that it is only a matter of time before he finds this thread.

It wasn't a threat. It's not like I'm gonna go after the guy, Jeez. but if he comes to my house, he better think twice about it. I think you totally misunderstood what I meant. I have no desire to stalk, or kill him. however, if he threatens my family, he'll regret it. Plain and simple. This is still America. Ever hear of self defense? Since when was defending my home, family, and property illegal?

anyways, lets get back on topic and back to the job of harrasing this moron and giving him a free trip to the unemployment line.

Amazing that some people think you can run a business that way. Said people don't end up "running a business" for very long, do they??
You should upload it to youtube and have that picture of him smiling while the audio runs, with a brief description posted to the right. Then post the youtube link everywhere.

I would also send that sucker in to MB.USA if you haven't yet done that. They would not approve very much. MBZ, is not like other manufacturers, and doesn't tolerate $hit like that. Ford, would say to hell with it, and not care...But when's the last time Ford, gave out a mileage badge? They don't care about people with old Fords, only the new ones, on the lot. MBZ respects their cars, and customers, even 25 years later..

Boy! Look at all the publicity this fella got for his dealership. He sounds like the guy I work for. Everytime that SOB comes into contact with a supplier or a customer, it is a disaster. He inherited this company from his daddy . . .

. . . Daddy's dead now, do Jr won't have anymore companies to flush down the toilet once this one's gone. Anybody need a good salesman?

Thumbs up *** You could try... ***

DarkOneSK:

I'd hold off on making anymore than maybe one call and that's it...BENZ LGB might be correct in that telephone harrasement could be infered by non-business calls coming in because of the 'e' and related postings. Others may even get into trouble.

The best way, I feel, would be to write two letters...one to the business and a CC to MBUSA (make sure that dealership notices that a CC is going to MBUSA), about what shoddy behavior is being exhibited by a BM at an MB dealership. (BM = Business Manager -or- Bowel Movement?)

Sign your name to it, stick a stamp on it, put it in the box and sit back and wait to feel the love.

Now that the audio and pic of the prick is on the web, this clown may be "vacationing" out by the bays (as in: sweeping the bays) at the shop, only because he's unable to get a job outside the confines of the family's grasp. He may have just qualified himself for a position as a "bill collector" with his demonstration of his impecable grasp of the English language and excellent communicative skills...


Lire: Youse gots da' cash?

Me: Hey! I got right here! I'll fold it a couple times and send it to you so you can practice some "rectal origami" with this here check!



You can only hope that Daddy's daughter is a "princess" and she'll be able to make his life, at home, a real hell, too.

With this prick being from "Joysey," is he, possibly, privy to where Hoffa may be RIP? (Or is it PIECES?)

You might want to be a bit more careful about your "profile" on the site, here!

Anyways, excellent post on here about pricks in the workplace. I always heard that the "big chucks" manage to float to the top. He's definately a poster-boy for "chucks" crowd.

Quite the entertaining thread.

I listened to the MP3 DarkOne posted - did anyone else notice that he counted to Number 1 twice?
