Because I was so far along that I had already sent my ride home and didn’t want to inconvenience anyone else to come pick me up. I specifically went to a dealer about 40 miles from home to get this deal. It was a shitty thing to pull.

TruCoat = VIN Etching. That is what they get you on these days. I’ve bought dozens of cars over the years and the bastards at Buena Park GMC got me on this one. They waited until I’d been there for hours and already haggled the deal. Then gave me the TruCoat aka VIN Etching bomb. Son-of-a
