I took the plunge and grabbed as many bills as I could and came up with 4 $1's and 1 $20, which were the only small bills in the wad...I threw my drivers license in with the rest of the money.

And when I thought my lesson was learned some money slipped out of my pocket and fell out of the car when I opened the door...on a windy day thanks to some nice by standers I recovered that loot.

...But if that 11,000 Vette was purchased today for cash, the gubmint knows about it, if the dealer complies with the law. Hey, I don't write the music, I just sing the song.

(if you wuz NAVY, I'd say that was a great sea story.)

Repeat after me: Most of the experience you get in life comes five minutes after you needed it.
