My buddy introduces himself and says they talked on the phone about the car. He looks at me and says "Who the 'eff' you are?". I introduce myself and say I have a truck and trailer to help my buddy. Basically, he doesn't remember making a deal or even talking to my buddy. Slowly but surely we get the "tweeker" vibe. We bid fair well and leave.

He then runs after us and starts pounding on my truck as I'm trying to turn around. We skip being "nice" with the trailer and get the hell out of there!

My buddy: Mike aka Dr. Evil...
Should have guessed that...Dr. Evil is a crazy magnet.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
