She's a girl, therefore must be:

	a. Stoopid and
	b. Ignernt and
	c. Submissive

Guess she showed them.  Arf arf arf.  Good for her.

My method for buying a car developed after discerning the pattern they 
all seem to display.  I always walk in knowing exactly what I want, 
armed with research on pricing and all that crap.  I very politely tell 
them what I am looking for, then equally politely notify them that they 
have 5 minutes to come back with a "yes" or "no" answer.  If they fail 
to do it clean, I walk out.  Car salesmen are a breed I barely tolerate. 
  There are a million dealers out there, if you don't want to do 
straight business, that is just fine by me.

As to  why so many of them appear to be such slime - if you ever find 
out, be sure and let the rest of us in on it.
