Best commercial I've ever seen.  Or at least the most applicable.

I believe I just became even less likely to get a "swagger wagon"....I will claw my bloody fingertips into my SUV as long as possible.

I only got about 15 seconds into that and then I had to run out to the garage and give the Expedition a kiss!  LOL
I am sarcastic and have a smart ass attitude.  It's a natural defense against drama, bullshit, and stupidity...

That was pretty good.  I like how the tea party ended.  I also enjoyed what he was doing to the bottle near the end.

Okay so the results are in.  D knows what she is doing!  With very short notice, we found the car the wife wanted, and D met us there and got to brass tacks with them straight away.  D it's very apparent you literally enjoy the process (I enjoy the negotiating, just not with a car salesman on the other end).  We saved a crap ton off of MSRP, and got the exact price range we were hoping for!  The employee discount system we have for that auto maker didn't even come down as low as what we ended up paying for the car.  Can't thank you enough D - it was great fun and the wife is in love with her car already.

Chili - I am pleased as punch that I was able to help you two get exactly what you wanted. Bob Tomes Ford's salesman "Coach" and Internet Sales Manager "Butch" were AWESOME to deal with, since they did not treat us like idiots from the time we walked in the door. They were very straight-forward, and that helped the process go smoothly. I highly recommend their dealership to anyone looking for a Ford or Lincoln. I hope you all did not wait long for your car to be detailed. I think getting done with negotiations and finance in just 2 hours and 15 minutes is a great accomplishment. You guys did awesome and stood your ground like I knew you could! Way to play the game!!!!!

E - you just let me know when you decide to trade in that dented-in little machine parked in your driveway. Heehee -- I know you love your car! And...be nice, or I'll bring over more Arbonne!

P.S. Chili, they were happy to deal with us in part because you fixed Coach's printer! I bet that drove him nuts for years. I need you to send me an email with the steps to that fix. It could come in VERY handy during my negotiations with future salesmen. Seriously!!!!
