Doesn't hurt to wait

I realized a few weeks ago that my car is due for an inspection, but I've been procrastinating actually taking the car in. Today I received a 10% off coupon for exactly this sort of inspection. At first I was thinking how fortuitous that was, and then I noticed that the coupon had my name and my vehicle number on it. That level of big-brother systematic sharing of information is a little worrisome, but also comforting. I think in the U.S. they just figure that if they send out thousands of such-like coupons, the odds are it is bound to be of use to someone.
