But Bro. Richard, didn't the salesman tell you how wonderfully it
handled on snow and ice? It was an investment in *SAFETY*. How can
you put a price on that? Remember two winters ago? Don't you wish
you had such a great handling vehicle then? Well, you sure didn't
want to make the same mistake again *THIS* winter, did you? ;-)
Tell it to her like that, and I'm sure she'll understand the wisdom in
your carefully planned purchase. :-)
