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:

I'm not mad. But please don't send me a ridiculously unhelpful email (that includes absolutely no information). I don't have time for that, and I hope you don't either. > > Thanks! > > Jennifer > > -------------------------------------------- |
