A Halloween Tale
One of the great benefits of working in car sales is the freedom. By that I mean, if I ever get tired of a place, or just want a change of scenery, all I have to do is clean out my desk and leave. (Most salespeople travel light.) With my experience, I know I can go anywhere in the United States and find a job at another dealership the same day, with no interruption in income. That's a great feeling.

Car Salesman Confidential: The Haunted Dealership
Recall Alert: 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 4Matic Coupe, AMG S63 4Matic Coupe, AMG S65
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 2,600 model-year 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 4Matic coupes, AMG S63 4Matic coupes and AMG S65 cars, all manufactured between Jan. 27, 2014, and April 2, 2015
The Problem: The left-side front seat belts may have been installed on the right side and the right-side belts may have been installed on the left. If the installation angle is incorrect, seat belt locking behavior could be affected and it may not properly restrain the occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of an injury. In addition, the child seat restraint function for the passenger seat would not be available.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect the installation of the seat belts and correct the problem as necessary for free.
What Owners Should Do: Mercedes will begin notifying owners this month. Owners can call the automaker at 800-367-6372 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or go to www.safercar.gov, for more info.

2015 BMW i8 Review
The stunning 2015 BMW i8 is both a plug-in hybrid and an exotic sports car. Considering how polar that combination is, the i8 is effective, but not exemplary, in either role.
