The Art of the Deal

 Dad took Sara and I car shopping for our first car together.  This was a fun adventure. He really enjoyed filling us in on his strategy for dealing with car salespeople and cardealerships. "Don't go in and sit down" "when they say they need time to talk to their manager, just say that you might stop back sometime" "tell them you are not interested in the payments amount, what is the total cost" and so on.  He was all about not getting ripped off.  I remember at one place driving off and the salesperson was running after us in the parking lot. Dad was laughing at his panic. I suppose this was at their expense, but we all found it pretty funny.
