am of the opinion that car dealers <span class=GramE>should be penalized</span>

along and ask if he/she could help you figure out how to remove that thing you
put the key in (i.e. ignition). If he/she can easily explain and demonstrate as
if they were playing with a Tinker Toy—I suggest you buy another model.<span
