Ok i'll bite on this one. I retired at the end of 2010 and always wanted to see what car sales was like. I had never had any sales experience before coming from a construction background, but I found a decent dealership and went to work. I sold a car my first day on the floor and made $2300.00 my third weekend in the business. You can make decent money at the right dealership but be prepared to spend alot of hours doing it. The two worst things are the other salespeople that will stab you in the back even while you're looking ( I had to threaten violence and mean it more than once) and customers who think they have to lie, cheat, steal, and generaly be a**holes inorder to get a good deal. Most would'nt a good deal if it bit them! On the flip side if you can learn to deal with the down sides of the buisness, learn to build value in your product, have a great work ethic and can stay upbeat through all the BS it can be a great job! I say give it a try and see what it is like! One last word of advice try to learn from the guy with his name on the salesman of the wall the most! Pretty much this. My nephew has "great people skills" and got a job selling cars. He does make a lot of money WHEN business is good. 6 or 7 days a week. And like was said, it's like a pack of dogs. He found out very early that if another salesman came over and "chatted" with you during a sale, they would get half the commission. So he learned to "growl" and stake out his territory.

As Twangr hinted up above, just for fun, try playing without the footswitch attached. Early V series had an internal problem related to the switch that would drop from the overdrive channel to the clean channel. I don't think it's reverb related , though.
