Hey, I was 23 and clueless - I had no idea what the insurance company owed me. I just told my Dad’s car-dealer friend what I had to spend, and without asking my thoughts, he got me that stunning gold/black top/black interior convertible Wildcat that was like new. All I told him was I needed a car to seat 6 for my work.
Owning that car for 3 months quickly changed my mind about 6 seats, and my heart always wanted a fastback Mustang instead of the coupe.
It is a cool story and what makes it so cool is it’s true. Then the movie came out a month after I got the car - and everywhere I went people commented on it.
I have a 1,000 more cool stories just like that one. Like how a major US newspaper named me and a friend “Gator Nappers” after we ‘borrowed’ a full-grown alligator for a prank that went astray, with the alligator (Alberta) making her way from where we left her in a remote pond into the largest lake in.......you’ll never guess it......Indiana.
Lol
You have to tell me more about that alligator story. :)
