   Gotta disagree with that premise.   
      
   Sure, if you go to (or went...) to a standard "car show" or   
   similar product, there'd be bunches of slinky and alluring   
   women leaning against the vehicles.   
      
   But if you went to someplace *serious*, like Caterpiller Tractors   
   or Mack Trucks or, for that matter, professional audio equipment,   
   you wouldn't see these folk because they'd simply be a distraction.
