Hmmm....  Simmer... simmer...  Boil.  I'm trying to keep civil about that 
comment but I can't.  Anybody who feels that this is even remotely 
acceptable ought to be taken out behind the woodshed and beaten 
senseless.  Just how common is this practice among you car-bartering 
types?  Somehow, fond memories of ripping people off for Miatas over 
sticker after disconnecting the odometer so you could enjoy driving it 
strikes me as being more than just a little warped.  No apologies about 
flaming, either.  This kind of sleazy and balatantly illegal behaviour 
almost perfectly captures everything I hate about car 
dealers/salesman/brokers.  Hope you go to jail sometime.
