Default 1st day on the job

So yesterday was my first day on the job with Honda. I went in and the sales manager talked to me about techniques of selling, filling out finacing forms and all that good stuff..... well, after all of the talking he just told me to take the rest of the day to TEST DRIVE all the cars we have..... by myself...
First car i drove was a Civic LX. I took it around the test drive route, and i'll tell you, this gen of Civics are nice..... Next, I drove an Accord EX-L V6 coupe, 244hp..... Nice quick car, smooth and quiet.... After that, i drove a regular Accord LX.... the difference was pretty big.... didn't accelerate as fast and it didnt have leather seats or any of the extra accessories like the EX-L.....

And last, i drove the red S2000...... holly crap..... now this car only has 235hp or so, but its a pretty lightweight car, so it picks up speed fast. I fell in love with this car from the moment I pushed the "START ENGINE" button.

There were no Civic SIs, so i couldnt drive the best car Honda makes..... but i will when we get them in stock. I have yet to drive the CR-V, Ridgeline, Element, Fit, Pilot and Odessey, but i will soon.....

What all did you have to do to get the job? Any schooling or anything? Congrats on the job.
