Angry Couldn't Believe It!!!

Went over to the dealer today to pick up the 2010 accessory catalog. I was purchasing almost $600 worth of parts and they wanted to charge me $6 for a d@mn book so I could spend more money?
Needless to say I told them to shove the book and the parts. I try to support my local dealer but all of my parts are going to be bought online from now on.

Whose dealer charges for a book that causes you to spend lots of $$$$$?
