Car Buying - Take Two

Dear Elli,



As you know, your daddy bought a new truck last month.  I'll admit it.  I'm a little jealous.  So now I'm car shopping.  For myself.  Because I'm tired of driving a piece of trash.  And I am gonna rock a nice car.  Maybe.  Because I am the female version of a pimp.  Let's just call me a "pimpstress".  That's a combination of pimp and princess.  And I think it's catchy.  And pretty funny.  



So today, given that it is both Friday and July 5th, I was not working very hard.  Give me a break.  Nobody was around and I didn't have much to do.  So I emailed a local car dealership for an "e-price" (per the instructions on their website). 



Now you've heard me say that I absolutely loathe car buying.  It's mostly because the entire auto sales industry is filled with slimeballs.  And I'm going to share my email experience with you today.  See below:

Hi Jennifer,



Al is working on this and would like to give you a call.
