[TheForge] Fw: Evolution Rage

[Andrew Vida]

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.

My mom one day went with me (1992) to look for a car.  Salesman could 
have been a poster child for slime.  We got in the car and mom gave him 
the finger.  I almost fell out of the car laughing.  My mom is one of 
the most proper women you will ever meet.  For her to make such a 
gesture, you know he had to have done something really bad.  When he saw 
it, he literally almost fell off his chair at his desk.  Go mom!

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.
