"Now I realize that I shouldn't have made a deal in that state of mind, but you have to remember, that I was only buying a 4x4 in order to take my brothers/family into the Smoke Creek Area in the desert to spread my father's ashes,...." Lets parse this out: 1. OK, you know you shoud have waited until you were in a better state of mind before you entered into a purchase.... 2. You could have RENTED a 4X4 for your one-day mission.... 3. Your father would not have minded waiting until you had calmed down... would he? 4. Your brothers/family also would probably have been patient..... 5. The ashes weren't going to spoil...... 6. Car salesmen must be like preditors just to survive.... they strike when they sense any weakness. I was out riding a road bike one day in 1988, and a woman passed me & then immediately turned right, right in front of me which cut me off .... she d**n near ran me over. She was turning to visit her mother's grave & was upset. Hey- her mother was ALREADY dead and buried, meaning there was no excuse for her doing something that could put me in the same state! This is analogous to your situation.. An occurance that is past and done and cannot be undone is no excuse for careless actions.
