re: #253 calochortus

Yeah, for the last 20 or 30 years surveys have shown that women have at least as much say in the purchase of a family car as men-and it’s not all about the color. Some salesmen apparently still haven’t gotten the memo.

It’s true that most men write the check, but usually they just tell their wife to pick out something they like within a given price range. Exactly what I did with our new car - I told my wife the options we were setting out to look at, and when we finally got to the Chevy dealership, she told me (out of earshot of the dealer, of course) that the car we’d just test driven was the one we were driving away with.
