I drove it anyway and loved the ride.  It was washed and I took it to my wife to drive - she was impressed as well.  After a couple of days of mulling things over and researching Hyundai, we called the salesman and told him we'd be in the next day to make the purchase.

When we got there, our Sonata was again parked under those same trees that had previously dumped all that sap - with a fresh coat of goop.

We left.

The questions that I have to ask myself are:  

1)  How long was that car parked there?  

2) Do all their cars spend time there? - because there were half a dozen new vehicles parked under those trees.

3)How much damage can tree sap do to paint and exposed rubber?

4)Why doesn't the sales staff park under the trees instead?
