We had a '99 Sonata with everything which was sold at $23 or $24 grand or whatever--I'll never know

I am not making the following up: The dealer (apparently & illegally) literally tore-off the window sticker, apparently so I wouldn't findout how badly they had ripped us off

I did not want it; while my wife did the "deal," the predatory & slimey sales manager (apparently) laughed at me on the phone (while actually telling me I was a male chauvanist ...blah blah)

Anyhow, that leather-seated 6 whoopie cylinders semi-luxury vehicle was thereafter being driven on I-85 during an ice storm, as we were returning from the airport, and we think today (in the midst of another nasty ice/snowy storm), that if it had not been for that optional package with traction, then I'd be too dead to post this little reflection of a thing past (plagarism apology to the french novelist)

And the moral of this anecdote is:

I can say, "oink, oink," with backhanded thanks to those unscrupulous sales @#$%^&*_+
