Did anyone get a pen with their car. $70K the least they can do is give you a pen. Even my Harley cam with a pen and a key chain!

Same here. It's not a good (purchase) deal unless there's swag, and not just some cheap keychains. Spouse now thinks this way too. Except for a stingy Maserati dealer about a year ago, we always get a couple of light jackets and beverage tumblers when we drive off in the new ride.
