He said,well you're not taking the car until I get to the bank.OK,I took the money and handed him his bill of sale.If this had been part of the deal before I came out we could have made different arrangements.But,he admitted it was an afterthought by his wife.350 miles in that old Mack,at 6 MPG,just for a ride.I know it was in 2007 because that was when diesel first hit $3.per gallon.

Ouch.
