People... Gotta love 'em!
July 27, 2007
So I went to see a 1963 Ford Fairlane 500 last night. It was in great condition but the battery was dead so I could not turn the engine on or drive it. I told the man I was interested but just had to hear it run and drive it around the block. He told me that he would charge the battery for me and give a call when it was charged. When I got back to the office I gave it a few hours and called back. It was nearing 5pm so I thought if it was charged I would stop by. The seller told me that he wanted to charge it all night and that his back was hurting so he would be unable to do anyting that night. "Call me in the morning and we will set up a time for you to drive it." I talked myself into it all night. Well, I had a docs appointment this morning and thought I would stop in after and drive the car. As I was walking into the doctors office, at 8am, he called. "Rick, we sold the car last night", I
was outraged! What in the world? How in the world have people come this far? Well, as a friends wife always says "You gotta love 'em or you'd kill 'em!" Now I totally agree... Thanks for the wise words Steph!
