On a idle summer afternoon, all is quite on the house front. We decide to tromp over to the local dealer and see what might on the showroom. While we were initially encouraged they had a Go-Mango Hellcat Challenger, the dealership for the most part is also enjoying the dog days of summer. The service department has no intention of working with the sales staff to evaluate the trade, and likewise, the sales staff has no intention of starting (closing ?) on a sale. However, this is mostly par for this dealership.
We hit up the web, and shockingly, there a B5 Blue Hellcat has just arrived fresh off the truck at a dealership 20 miles away. You might ask why blue is important? Well much like a Browerbird builds a nest, the first letter in Bruce must be "B" for blue? A Browerbird will use whatever they find in their surroundings to build an elaborate nest, as they don't use plumage to attract a mate. The Browerbird will artfully arrange the objects, some preferring a certain color, others preferring a certain shape or object.

As we arrive at the dealership, we approach nothing but a sea of Challengers, intermixed with a handful of Hellcats in about the same ratio you would apply sprinkles to an ice cream sundae. However, the one we quest is nowhere in sight. Soon enough after some cordial exchanges, the sales agent varooms from the rear staging area. It seems the poor Hellcat had been unloaded with a some Mazada's and was relegated to spending last night with them.
The agent gets out of the car, and is sill pulling off the plastic protectors as he is giving a spiel. Soon enough, he tosses Bruce the key for a test drive. And so the fabled Endowment Effect begins to latch on to Bruce's inner core. Soon enough, we head out of the safety of the parking lot for the relatively congested divided highway. A few miles down, and the car does not fail to deliver. Soon enough, the ride is over.
Back at the dealership, the keys are returned in exchange for the quote, and we cordially depart company.
The next day is spent prepping the current Challenger for sale. It was an incredibly quick sale for decent money given she averaged 12K miles per year. By the start of the next work week, the B5 Blue Hellcat will be ours.
