A friend of mine in the Chicago suburbs is into Rolls Royce cars. A few years ago, he saw a very low milage Rolls for sale, Not a great model, a Sliver Shadow. But the price was so low, he had to check it out. It was in the Lake Forest area, one of the money areas of Chicagoland.

When he got there, he saw 2 Silver Shadows! different colors- but from the street they looked very nice. When he rang the doorbell, an eldery lady ansered the door and said she was the one selling the car.

My friend approached the car she indicated was for sale and when he looked into the car, he noticed the rear seat and carpets were destroyed!

It turned out that this car was used to transport her dogs! The other car was for her personal use.

He decided there was so much damage (seat, carpet, door cards, & headliner) that he would decline since the repair was about what she was asking for the car.

Can you say, "Too much money?"
