What if shopping was like

bundling on cable TV.

"Let's see sir, I see you want to purchase that that snow tire. In order to purchase that you also need to purchase a bag of gravel, a feather duster, a slightly used anvil, fish food, some lawn darts, and a set of encyclopedias from 1956."

Remote start is only available on the XL model.

Oops! In order to get Sirius/XM, you must buy the Convenience package for $2,500.

So, the advertised model for $22,000 is only available to fleet buyers on special order, and the one I want is going to be $42,000?

One of my clients wanted to move her telephone number to her assisted living place. Her new place already has internet and cable but the only way I could move her number was agree to pay for internet and phone service Though ATT. I ended up paying for lower speed internet service to just so she could save her number. And it still cost $68 for a landline and slow internet.

If I ever see a set, I'm buying it! They were fun. You just have to be smart enough not to stand under them when they come down.
