. . . with just enough info sprinkled in to keep it form being not-so-helpful. Good job, keep it up.

As someone who has read EVERYTHING recently on the topic of car-buying, I was ready to yawn through more trite advice. Instead, I ended up chuckling and nodding.

Not only is your review accurate in its premise, but it is fun for the reader and light-hearted enough that even the species in question can't get offended.

Brilliant!

Actually T, I learned it this way, Kindly Professors Can F**k Over Grad Students. It was real easy to remember back when I was a victim of the only form of legal slavery left in the US. Have things changed that much? Somehow, I doubt it, judging from Epinions on grad school by That-Guy and others.

Ken, you MUST write more reviews! I don't want to hear any whining about how you need sleep or have to work. Snail frothy! Who needs sleep, just ask Tipu.

LOL, Pamela

Hrm, how'd it go? KPCFOGS... 'Korean philosophers can something something something something...'

Tell us Ken, is it something in the water of Piggott that leads to this spontaneous fountaining?... ...t-žoo

Like most geologists, your taxonomy is a bit weak and you have incorrectly assigned Phylum status to what clearly are mere genus and species of the much larger Order of Bloosuckeriacaea, family: Automobilia. The actual Phylum is Hardsellolusta and includes salespersons of every persuasion.

I LOVE your stuff!

Without doubt I agree with every single thing that you have said here (although, admittedly, you have said it much more wittily than I ever could have). Thank you again

It's zoology you can use! (Reply to this comment)

There are some good books out there which describe the motivation behind these predators who are being squeezed tightly by the real moneymakers - the lot owners.

If I can dig up the one I read, maybe I'll write a review. Yours is excellent.

Cheers

What a delight, and not sordid in the least!

Thanks for writing with such energy and creativity. This is the third piece of yours I've read (going down the list) and you are doing a heck of a job.

Welcome to Epinions! Please keep writing!

...to the sentiment of the previous comments. This was a wonderful review. Why? Because you took a serious subject and presented the information in a humorous way. As I plod through reviews, the ones I am most likely to remember are those that provided me with some comic relief. Awesome job.

vintage, with great nose and just a touch of flint. One can only swirl this offering around one's pallate and savor it's irony until the tang reaches the heart of one's bottom. (Smack!) Welldone.
