RE: [DML] Re: Wife orders 5252 to be sold

[Kevin Abato <delorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Funny enough, when I kid around and joke about selling my car, my wife gets
VERY ANGRY and says NOOOOOOOOOOO

Recently we invested in life insurance and discussed setting up a will, etc.
As part of the conversation, our friend who sold us the policy outlined
worse case scenarios of my "untimely demise" and stated the Delorean was an
asset that Cheryl could sell.   Again, she said "sell the Delorean!?
No...that's not an option.  I'm keeping it and learning to drive stick"

Guess I picked a winner eh?  ;)

"Men that sell their cars, and the women that make them do it.  Next on Dr.
Phil"

I was faced with selling my DMC but opted to take a loan instead.  My car is
hocked but it's still mine-ish (I do need to pay back the loan, apparently).
Secured loans get favorable rates and this is a sub- optimal sellers market.
