The couple had been debating the purchase of a new auto for weeks. He wanted a new truck. She wanted a fast litle sports car. He would have settled on any beat up old truck, but everything she seemed to like was way out of their price range. "Look! I want something that goes frm 0 to 200 in 4 seconds or less!
