Apparently car dealers are very desperate these days. A dealer that I have
never, ever dealt with, not even for a quote, apparently did a database search
for cars sold in the area recently, and sent me an e-mail, wanting to entice me
to take on debt. I really, really like not having car payments or credit card
balances, and I will drive the wheels off both the El Camino and the Civic
before I take on any debt. I could not help myself, and I sent them the
following response.
Note that the Civic has been paid off for about a year, so this dealer is a
little late to the party. I had to laugh at "Please Read This Letter Before
You Make Your Next Car Payment!" It amuses me greatly, with the title to the
car in my filing cabinet.
