I told them: if you can continue the manufacturer's warranty on my 21
year old BMW, you bring that right on.  I also told them that I'd
already asked to be put on their DNC list, both manually and

I haven't gotten a fifth.

Their CNID was bogus, too.

Gives us legitimate telemarketers a bad damn name.  :-)
