Received: Lincoln Town Car, 13,000 miles
Turned down my trade request

When I got to the counter, they weren't busy at all. I gave them my ID and asked what kind of car it was. The guy excitedly said "A Lincoln Town Car." I asked if they had ANYTHING else that I could trade to, as I really dislike the seats in the TC (oh yeah, and the tires won't squeal to save it's life). I dont know what's with the seats, but they leave me with a completely sore back. He said "with The Brickyard (race, 3 hours away) going on, you're just lucky to get a car". I said, "ok thanks, I appreciate it and I'll see you next week (when I return the car)." I walked outside and they had less vehicles than usual, but still at least 25 on their lot and I would have gladly traded for any of them, even the GM offerings. When I got in the car, I found it to be even more stripped than the last few TC's I've had: no heated seats (the only thing that makes them semi-bearable), seat position recall or sunroof. Oh, and it's powder blue. I guess I shouldn't complain though, it could have been the 15 passenger van CLE once had for me.
