Bing - I think I owe you a meal. I took your advice on the $7,000 and we decided on $6,750.
He came over last night and gave me the check! The guy is senoir cardiologist. He pulls up in a '00 Black Bentley Turbo. WTF! I have never seen one of those up close. What a ride.
I feel like I just won the lottery. Before he came over, I told my wife about what happened and she was VERY happy. She had wanted me to wait on the Z until we bought a house anyway. The plan is to add $1,000 to the "mods" fund I had been working on for the Z. That will put me up to $3,000.00. I figure a few more months and I can get a SR. The other cash will go towards the house <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
