> I'm not so desperate as to drive to Ohio
 
Are you suggesting there's something you don't like about Ohio?
(Imidazol97 says sitting looking at the indoor/outdoor thermometer reading 10.9 Fahrenheit on the ledge of the storage barn!!! and lower to come tonight and next two nights.)

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.

"Will she let GG drive her navy blue BMW too?"
 
Only if he wears white cotton gloves and hospital shoe covers. She wanted a BMW since she was 13. The week before the competition, her father told her that if she won the state title he would buy her a BMW. He told me it was the most expensive bet that he ever made. I told him that he shouldn't have bet against a sure thing.
