After we got married in 1986, Silver took auto mechanics with a couple of women from work.

A few months into our marriage, we went to buy a car.

While Silver is under the hood talking with the salesman about rack and pinion "this" and fuel injected "that", I'm inside playing with the stereo buttons going "this is really cool!" and feeling the upholstery!

The salesman couldn't process this at all.

So, I told Silver to negotiate the price of the car.

We knew we did the right thing when, after two days of haggling, she set the price that we were willing to pay and the sales MANAGER said "shouldn't I be talking to your husband?"

Well, Silver got a great deal and I'm convinced it was because SHE knew what she was talking about and THEY couldn't handle a strong minded woman with knowledge!

Next time someone treats you like a "little girl", you show them what you know!
