Mind if I rant?

I just got back from my second trip of the day looking for a vehicle. Okay, as far as a pickup goes, if that's what I end up getting I know what's important to me. I want a 1/2 ton extended cab with any V8 and manual tranny. Okay, I know they're rare. Have known that forever.

But the MEN who come out to sell vehicles at car lots really piss me off!!!

"Well, why do you need a manual transmission?" DUH! Because I want one.

"Well, ma'am, you really don't need that V8, a V6 will do." [WN restrains herself from slapping]

"Well, ma'am, women don't usually want things like that." I don't give a flying fig what any other woman ever asked you for!!! Just tell me if you got one or can get me one!!!!

And last but not least, "If you want to look like a gal with a really hot truck you just need to buy one that looks flashy, you don't need the performance!" I am still shaking at that one!!!! If I wanted something that *looked* hot, I'd have that *NOW* instead of a little normal looking pickup with an old muscle car engine and a manual! Freakin' dumb*$$*$!!!!

(but reserve the right to do it again in this vehicle search)

BTW the only sales person who found what I wanted was a lady. Imagine that.

Okay, you guys know that I am not a feminazi... but sometimes.... guys just don't get it!
