Last week, I found the used car that I’ve been looking for. After visiting lots of car lots and zillions of web site, I found a guy in Carrolton, TX who was selling his 2007 Honda Pilot. We got a great deal considering the car only has 3400 miles. And to think that earlier in the day I had a dealer reject my deal for an Explorer with 36,000 for roughly the same price. Thank God for deals gone bad.
The seller was a burly Italian guy who looked like he stepped off of the set of the Sopranos or the Godfather. Anyway, he was really cool. When he asked me how he could be sure that my Cashier’s Check was good, I said: “Honestly Chris, you look like the kind of guy who would track me down and kill me if it wasn’t.” He laughed and said, “You’re probably right. I’ll take the check.”
Now I’ve got to go to the tax office and pay “the man” and get the title transferred.
Sure hope the check doesn’t bounce!

Great story there. Congratulations on the new (to you) vehicle. Way to buy used and get a good deal! Dave Ramsey would be proud.
Now you just have to hope there's not some minor detail wrong with your cashier's check or else you can expect Chris to show up on your doorstep with "an offer you can't refuse"...
Who's Dave Ramsey. . . .just kidding.
You better watch it, or I'll sign you up for FPU! :P
