Had the car not "run out of gas" the night I looked at it, my posting might have had a different tone. Actually, I was going to wait until he brought it by for me to drive it before I posted, but the "no gas"/cold engine and escalating price had me suspicious.

So, Dirty Ernie, I inadvertently "helped" you. So, do I at least get a ride out of the deal? I'll let you know the next time I'm on Oahu! Maybe over a beer I'll tell you my harrowing story of saving a kid from drowning in the high surf off Ke'e beach in Kauai (two days after proposing to my wife on the Na Pali coast).
