Just bizarre some of the stupid stuff people will say about it.
I have had this one, When I was a Store Manager for a large retail company.. oops, i hit your car in the parking lot" or "whoa, looks like someone keyed your Corvette!" I never even thought about that till now... when it comes down to it we know what we pay for and dont, its noone elses business, we should just blow it off there not making the payments
