Thanks for posting this rlmorel.
Glad you liked it...of course, I wish I had the wisdom of Phathead at post #55...
I didn’t, though. I was ridiculously stupid about stuff like that. Now, I bought that Ford Escort from a huge conglomeration of dealers in Massachusetts, one member of which was Wilmington Ford. There was Wilmington Toyota. Wilmington Oldsmobile and so on. You get the idea.
These were the people that would put the ads in the papers to buy a car for “$95 down and $95 a month for Five Years...” I got one of those...er...”deals” from a heavyset guy with a plaid sports jacket, bolo tie, black cowboy hat and a large silver belt buckle.
I am not kidding you.
To this day, there can’t be anyone stupider than me at that age when it came to buying used cars. I just shake my head in amazement at myself. I’m not dumb, it is just one of those things I had no aptitude for.
