ABSTRACT

Sonya had a 1964 Ford Thunderbird that she drove to work each day. Mr. Townsend, who was in her 10 o’clock assertiveness training group, had his eye on it and told her so. Mr. Townsend was the owner of a restoration garage about 50 miles south of the counseling facility. Before and after group he would explain to Sonya that for just a few hundred dollars he could make some minor repairs and put a few coats of custom metallic paint on her car. He assured her that she would be driving a customized classic that anyone would be proud to own.
