She says to me,\* “Hey, remember that cute little car on Craigslist a while ago? The one the guy said runs fine, but you called him and it was all messed up. Well, it’s back on Craigslist, listed “As Is”.”\* I was pretty proud of myself for resisting the first time around. But since then, I sold one car, gave away another and had a third one hauled off this morning (I didn’t own it, I just sold it for someone). And I caved. I’ll drag it home tomorrow. :mad: Eh, I think I only paid 1/3 of what its worth. And I think I’ll get it running, and sell it for a lot more. Or keep it forever, which is more likely. :rolleyes: But she shouldn’t have said a word. :dubious: ---

You’ve been paying attention. Teddy says, “Hi!”. 😉 > [@TruCelt](#): > > You will be keeping it, because it is obviously going to be her car. Honestly, how do men miss these obvious facts? 😉 She won’t touch it. I bought her a “new” car in March, anyway. She seems to enjoy it, but I like it less every time I drive it. A CVT and horrible visibility. It has more blind spots than Stevie Wonder. ---

(nearly/actually is relative. Don’t judge me) I had to turn that off after it ended. The next video was something like “100 funniest Dox videos”, and I ain’t got that kind of bandwidth! Or time. Well, actually I got nothin’ but time… ---
