Via Turk Turon: Partial Farnham's Freehold manuscript for sale at Amazon. --For more than I pay for cars.
Time are tough. --Submitted in evidence: high-pressure auto salesmanship hits Claire Wolfe's small town. (I'm no fun for car salesbeings any more; I hit the lot, ask to see the three cheapest used cars -- having already found them online, if possible -- and if any of them pass muster on the test drive, refuse to talk anything but price. The most recent car was even simpler, a classified ad that was already well within my target range, sold by a "semi-pro" working out of his own driveway. Hey, car salescritters have to eat, too, but too many of 'em are smarmy about earnin' the wherewithal; you've got to game them right back to get anywhere. Oooo, the slime; it's a good thing I saved back some Boraxo).

Part of a child's education ought to be a summer job washing cars in a used car lot so they can get an "introduction" into the scummy parts of life and, hence, be better prepared for the world.
A Curb Stoner? Keep your hand on your wallet you are about to buy a dialed back odometer.
I can't stand car dealers. Its one of the reasons I never buy new cars, and seldom buy used cars.
Dad had a strict "don't buy from a professional automotive turd polisher". Not only never buy used from the pros, but walk away if you find out that "private party sale" starts to smell/look like a "curbstoner"
