My sister bought a Chevy Blazer today. [View all]

She is retired now and no longer has to drive fellow employees to conferences. Her old vehicle had a lot of miles on it because of things like those work trips, and also she goes back and forth a lot from her house to mine. She was starting to have maintenance issues, and as she's getting older her other SUV was hard for her to park now. She wanted to get the deal made before the worst effects of the tarriffs hit.

Anyway the reason I am posting this, is the salesman apologized that they are required to ask for people's social security numbers when a purchase is over a certain amount. She said, she slipped and said, "It's okay Musk and his minions probably have all of our SS numbers posted on the dark web already anyway." She said he was drinking coffee and actually did a spit take laughing." She said, "I'm sorry I shouldn't bring up politics in case you are ok with what's being done, but I am not, and I am just so mad, and can't stop myself anymore." He said, he understood, and agreed with her. He also told her they are going to start rising the prices on the vehicles already here, to cover the costs of the tarriffs on the newer stuff they will import. This all sucks.
