[V8] The Ultimate Drivel Machine.

Can't say I'm that surprised, having answered the phone at a friends shop
many a time when the conversation went something like this: 

"Yes, I think I left my car there, I want to know if it's ready."
"OK, I don't see your name on any slips, which car is it?"
"Ahhh, the blue BMW (Mercedes, Audi, etc.)"
"What is it?  There are 5 blue cars waiting to get picked up."
"Dammit, it's the BLUE one, I don't know what kind it is."
"Well, I don't have a slip with your name on it, did someone else drop it
off?'

Conversation drags on in this vein for another 5 minutes before the voice
on the other end of the phone realizes they have to call the next shop
number in the phone book hoping that THAT'S the shop they left their car
at the previous week.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.  I have a cousin I warned against
buying a BMW convertible (this is New England), after taking the massive
wallop of the depreciation on a 2 year old BreakMyWallet, she's trying to
sell it, because "German cars really suck in the snow."
