Lol, one can always spot them anywhere, hopefully. It's the ones you can't detect that I worry. I love what you did here. Congratulations

Wait... that's the guy I bought my car from! Was his name 'Slick'? ... nice write Michelle! An all-too-familiar visage in showrooms across the world. Good luck in the contest.

This was inspired by an actual car salesman I dealt with when buying my first car, at age 22 ( so long ago!) I thought he was fishy, so I just walked out-

This is actually based on the time I was buying my first car, and the salesman had the suit and the slick talk, but I didn't trust him - so I walked out!
