Weren't you smart to find that picture of deskman?

What is special about the yellow book. Amazon has 60 starting at $1.81. You must be talking about something different. Edify me.

got me. i thought 'we' were considering a few different models, so i emailed the dealerships for some quotes. once i got them, she informed me none of those vehicles were what she wanted.
anyways, the new car purchase is knocked back a bit.
i now know what she really wants, but we have to wait a bit.
basically, what she wants is going to cost more than what she wants to pay, so i am doing a lot of groundwork for any salesperson, if a sale happens.
i am hoping our daughter's SAT scores will soften her up a bit.
it's tough to top 800 for a math score. the other 2 were just under 700.
we do need an additional vehicle, it's just a case of what it will be, a new ride for the wife or something less for the kids.

"Edify me."
 
Fezo tried to answer for me, but his wise a$$ got in the way of his brain.
 
I'm looking for an early first edition of Fun With Dick and Jane. (Book titles should be underlined, but I can't make it work on the format here.) At any rate, there are several series of this book with various titles and various publishing dates since the 1930's. Amazon has a collector's list that you can click on from the main page. The ones that you saw are newly published copies with modernized characters.
 
Hopefully, you have been edified, satisfied, gratified, and homogenized.

Here is your solution: Daughter gets Mom's old car because of high SAT math score; Mom gets new car; Dad gets payments. Simple, right?

Found one in a bookstore in England. It was a real experience finding how to send them funds in Pounds--wouldn't accept Euros, wonder why?
 
Could it be b/c Englad uses the pound not the Euro?
 
Would the US salespeople here accept US Dollars of Mexican Pesos? <-- Bringing it back on topic.

Well, since this is a car forum, you could have added Simonized (note the underline).
