   It was amusing to see the auto section of today's paper. Hertz used car   
   sales advertising 2012 Corollas for a higher price than Toyota dealers   
   advertising 2013 Corollas. Yet Hertz will have no problem selling the   
   used, year-old vehicles, for more than a new, current year model would   
   cost. Reminds me of the old adage, "it's morally wrong to allow a sucker   
   to keep his money."
