"Jessica Zajicek had the greatest response to Suze Orman.
While talking with Suz', Jessica said that she leased her cars since she liked always driving a newish car that was under warranty.
Ol' Suz' starts harping on her about this, and closes with "Leasing a car is the worst mistake you'll ever make in life."
