Hi List
I have a folder in which all receipts are placed into it every last dime. I
could if I wanted to, give you an exact total of every cent that has been
spent on my car. But it is of no interest to know. Sometimes the passion is
worth more than the reason. "is it worth it?" Damn right it is! Once your
behind the wheel and you are stopped at the light and the guy next to you
gives you a thumbs up. YOU KNOW RIGHT THEN.
Just my two cent
