Dear New BMW Owner:
     
Congratulations on the purchase of your new automobile!  We're sure that
it will provide you with the utmost in driving pleasure and lifestyle
enhancement.
     
However, we must inform you that there are certain minimum requirements
that a BMW customer must meet in order to retain ownership of his or her
vehicle.  Specifically, as a first time owner, you must take and pass
the following classes, offered by your local BMW dealer:
     
* ARR 101 -- Arrogance
  A six week course explaining the details of driving habits, posture, 
  clothing, and other details that all lead to the arrogant appearance 
  and demeanor that all BMW owners must present.  $800/person
     
* AGG 101 -- Aggressiveness
  Six weeks of hands-on experience in tailgating, rapid unsignaled lane 
  changes, speeding, and hard braking.  When you complete this course 
  you'll be able to merge your car into the tiniest available spot on 
  the freeway and cause everyone around you to know a BMW just entered 
  the road, even if they couldn't see you at the time.  $1000/person
     
* BUD 101 -- Budgeting To Make Your Car Payment
  Twelve weeks.  $1500/person
     
If this is a second (or later) BMW, then our requirements include:
     
* ARR 102 -- Arrogance Refresher
  Three weeks of refresher course on arrogance.  $650/person
     
* AGG 102 -- Aggressiveness Refresher

      * How to buy your teenage child his or her first BMW and 
           still make the payment on your own.
      * The home equity loan -- your friend.
      * Selling your house to pay for your car -- you can do it.
      * Paying for your BMW owner training classes -- yes, you have to.
  $1500/person
     
These classes must be completed successfully during your first 3 months
of ownership, or we will be forced to repossess your car.
     
In addition, we offer other classes that you may be interested in
taking.

  mechanics seven times the going hourly rate to fix your car when it 
  breaks.  $750/person

  Hypno-therapy to ease the process of opening the wallet of really 
  tough customers.
