So we traded in a car recently. It originally was a car that my parents drove….a convertible. They bought it at a charity auction and got a great deal. However, my parents are both terrified of the sun and never put the top down on the car.
Somehow, we ended up with the car, which came with a meticulous folder that my Dad kept. Inside were detailed notes of services, oil changes, new tires, etc. One particular note caught my attention as I was reviewing the notes prior to trading the car in….
It read: “Mileage when dropped off at dealership: 12,857. Mileage when picked up from dealership: 12,897. Joy rider?!?”
Only my Dad would take such meticulous notes and then actually consider that someone took his car for a joyride in the LA traffic. Maybe the guy went to McDonald’s.
