On the car ride back from my son's medical appointment, there was a radio spot for a used car company, JD Byrider. They presented the following story.
Act I
A young woman is gifted a hoary old vehicle right before entering college. Industrious by nature, the woman obtains a part-time job while pursuing her studies. One cold and rainy day, her chariot cannot go on any longer. The wise repairman is able to restore the woman's conveyance, but numerous parts are failing. The intrepid young woman plans to save up her earnings until she can purchase a new vehicle outright.
Act II
The young woman comes within range of a hungry used-car Mephistopheles. He says he can open her eyes to a whole new world of possibilities she never even dreamed. For just a small monthly payment, she can 'own' a nice, newer, reliable car which she desperately needs. He show her the wonders of the modern automotive world. He tells her of the nice, newer, reliable sedan she could 'own' for just a small monthly sacrifice. Bluetooth, backup cameras, and heated leather seats whisper to her heart of luxury and status, while her mind is placated by the promised reliability and stronger credit history. Seduced, she signs away a large portion of her paltry monthly earnings.
The true horror is this story is presented not as a cautionary tale of dire consequences, but as a wonderful story of awakening. Behold the power of the unholy used car salesman!
