A young girl (16 years old) comes on the lot with her mother in tow and says she wants to look that new yellow G-5. We look at it and I'm trying to get a feel of the situation from mom and she is not saying anything. Girl is yapping 90 miles a minute. I ask her if she wants to test drive it she says she only has a learners permit. I say I have a license and so does your mom. Mom says she doesn't want to go. 2 miles into the drive she says "I'll take it!" I ask her if her mom is going to co-sign for her. She says "no, I'll just write a check." Sure enough she's been saving up checks from soc.sec. from her father passing away when she was 6. She paid full sticker and bought ex-warranty. I'm still waiting for another one just like her to show up.

Replying to: mrsjmonroe (Oct 25, 2007 2:47 pm) What I want to know is why mrsmonroe and jmonroe live 680 miles apart? Mysteries like that make me mad, man! Seriously, and as funny as it was, let's stick to using a single user name so as not to conflict with our Terms of Use. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |

I had posted earlier that we had some wheels and tires stolen. Well over the course of a week they came back a few times. They came to the well one time to many last night. One of Metro's finest sat and watched them jack the Expedition up, put the blocks under it, load the tires and wheels up and as they pulled off they stopped and arrested them. They hit us for a total of 8 units at an average of $2000 a unit. I would guess that if they can prove they are the ones that did it all 8 times then a total of $16K in stolen merchandise should get these folks some pretty good jail time jail time.
