 Looking for cars is FUN! How often do you get to stick your finger 
up someone's exhaust! (A real check, btw. You're looking for pale 
gray, dry ash on your finger. Black, damp soot means it's burning oil)
It's the bargaining part that resembles dental surgery!

  (That having been said, I find nothing worse than spotting One With 
Potential from the road, only to find out it's a)overpriced beyond 
reasonable bargaining, b)automatic, or c) a rustbucket (the worst 
sinca a and b can be determined by a quick peek at the window 
followed by a quick peek inside it.)
