Yeah, but don't they make it up in volume? Let's see...if you were to lose even as little as $100 for each car that you sell, then you would lose $1,000 if you sold 10 cars, and $10,000 by selling 100 cars!!! :rofl:

BTW, I agree that the quote in the first post of this thread was excellent. LOL.....thanks for sharing that one. I had originally missed it.

Nah...you're thinking of the cliche used by Tom Holzer Ford in Farmington Hills, MI.

David...somehow or other, the vast storehouse of bubbling trivia trapped in my head manages to percolate to the surface every now and then.

Hey Dan! Remember the skit(s) on Saturday Night Live's International Bank of Change ? That was the explanation of how they made a profit. :D

Anyway, Wires still gets my vote for best quip of the year .....so far.:beer:
