The best answer is, "GOOD! Toyota has a six month waiting list and adds $4,500 on top of the list price. As long as you keep believing that crap we have a chance of getting the waiting list down and reasonable prices. You can continue to enjoy GM products . . . for as long as they remain in business."

Take a deep breath and blow it out and say, "I'm breathin', I'm happy."

You have to make a value judgement about whether or not this person is worth spending any more time on the subject. Value your time and be prepared to mentally "dust off your sandels" and change the subject. Say, look at your watch and say,
"I'm late for my monthly fill-up. I've gotta go."
