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. :-)
