Thanks, but I'm not so desperate as to drive to Ohio to see it.
 
Talk nice to the guy. He has a drivers license and likes to drive. You could end up having a Grand Marquis delivered with some gently driven highway-broken-in-miles for just a bed and breakfast and a Greyhound ticket to get him home.

Check your math again.
 
I did the math on my Elantra, at $17K less 25 cents a mile I would owe them almost $23K.

Are you suggesting there's something you don't like about Ohio?

If GG would deliver that new GM to Pinehurst for $17k, he could have the B&B, a return plane ticket, and I would cook him some Bar-B-Qed spare ribs with corn bread and baked beans, Hell, I'll even get him a date with last year's Miss North Carolina. She is a former student of mine. She drives a navy blue BMW 3 Series.

One below?! It's a wonder that your calculators don't freeze up!
 
The coldest day of my life was in your city on Christmas Eve, 1969. I was trying to get home from a business trip. I had the last ticket on the last flight out of Chicago before they closed the airport due to ice and snow. Why do I remember this so well? There are two reasons. My friend's Pontiac GTO died on the way to the terminal, and I nearly missed my flight. Secondly, we damaged the landing gear on take-off because we hit a block of ice and snow that the ground crew missed. It was repaired in-flight. I've never been so glad to get off of a plane in my life. I haven't returned to your city since then.
