if nissan were about to give you a free new car, one that was (with the
exception that if anyone else wanted to use the stereo they would have to
install their own version of it) the best designed car you had ever tried,

b) accept the car graciously and fix the stereo problem yourself,
c) refuse the car until nissan agreed to replace the stereos in all of their
cars?
