    Ha! Funny you should say that.

    A few months ago, I agreed to provide information to a newspaper article in Detroit regarding the 72 month loan we took out for the daughter's MINI. This came about via a pr request here at Edmunds.

    This afternoon my cell phone rings .. it's NBC News, asking if I'd go on camera for a story they're working on regarding long term loans. They saw my name in the Detroit article and reached out.

    I declined - Not sure I want to be on camera and the MINI still hasn't had the hail damage repaired - neither one of us are camera worthy.
