I once bought a Mercedes Benz 220S at night.  Big mistake.  Exterior was a
beautiful black... interior was lovely red leather.  All electrical systems
operated perfectly.  Car ran like a dream.  Price was right.  What I didn't
notice is that the bottom was so rotted out you could sit in the back seat
and watch the road go by... through the floor.  Also, one of the reasons she
ran so smoothly was because she needed a ring job and valve job... so badly
that she used a quart of oil every 100 miles!  Maybe that's why the price
was so low, eh?  Night is not the time to buy a car.  Duh!
