"Those are exactly the kind that are most in demand. Boy, get with the times, OK? Be as trendy as your buddies! Don't fall behind. Don't get outmoded."

Indeed, maybe I am old fashioned in always preferring full size cars that don't bounce all over the joint.

I must be losing it in the translation, you mean 'iced tea/ice tea' spilled over your keyboard?

Do you really speak like that in public? "What's the matter, boy, scuze, Y'all" etc? Someone would have to be a complete blithering idiot to buy anything after hearing that nonsensical mumbo jumbo.

No, try speaking English. I mean I spewed sweet tea all over the keyboard. Just what it says.

"Do you really speak like that in public? "What's the matter, boy, scuze, Y'all" etc? "

Of course I do. The effete, wimpy, clueless, semi-transvestic yuppie collectors will pay top dollar for the experience of buying swamp junk from an *authentic* underhanded, backward lowlife redneck. They want what meets their preconceived, obsessively held stereotype of authentic local Southern color. So they get it. And they'll gladly pay a premium just to keep their stereotypes intact. Just like they do, every day, in so many ways.

"Someone would have to be a complete blithering idiot to buy anything after hearing that nonsensical mumbo jumbo."

You're right. They would. Yet those proudly helpless "modern" beltway dwelling types DO buy our swamp junk vehicles, so that's what they must be. Blithering idiots. You have analyzed them correctly.
