Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc Denied September 25, 2000.*

EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge.

This $8,000 dispute about a used car has led to an $800,000 judgment against Z Frank Oldsmobile. Punitive damages exceeding $500,000 and attorneys' fees near $240,000 make up the bulk of the award. These damages are at least an order of magnitude too high, and final decision about attorneys' fees must abide the outcome on remand.
