Hi there, can I help you folks? I'm just browsing seeing what's on the lot. My daughter wants a car for her birthday. You know how it is. Dad, I'm 16 already, and I'm like the only one at school who doesn't have a car. She's right, you know. Kids these days all have cars. Let me show you something we just got in. A 1996 sedan, excellent gas mileage. It has dual airbags and anti-lock brakes, a perfect vehicle for a young driver. Dad, I love it. It's awesome. Can we get this one, please? I see. What can you tell me about this one? Oh, that's just an old World War II tank that we use for TV commercials. Now about this sedan... Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Tell me more about this tank. Well, sir, if you are looking for quality and safety, then look no further. Three inches of reinforced steel protect your daughter from short-range missile attacks. Does the sedan protect her from missile attacks? It does not. Well, I don't know. Let me sleep on it. Did I mention the tank is a tank? I'll take it. Dad!
