Your wife carries around her own means of paying?

All this time I thought you were "well off"

MkI for me, but I love all the 40's A replica would do fine. For what a GT costs, I could have a wicked replica with the beautiful 40 scale.

Well she passed in her early 40's with cancer. She was African American and honestly had that feeling about being discriminated. If I was present there's usually no problem but at times being a woman she was discriminated and once even at an automobile dealership once. If she was alone one of my driver/security men were with her and she would have her frigging Hermes birkin bag(empty) and had the black A/E stuffed in her bra. She always dressed up...me shorts and a white t-shirt.

I remember talking to one of the managers at Griffen Ford in Greenwich just before orders were being taken. He was going to order one himself and we were talking about future values. I think more were built than we thought were going to be built. I have been looking at all the sales and might pick up the one from the Pond collection. I purchased two cars from them and was offered their red GT but declined.

we'll see.

Actually Ford said around 5000 for the two years as a build number when the GT was announced. As it ended up, less than 4500 built so under the estimate. I wouldn't say that was "overbuilt" or overhyped.

My wife has an Amex. They keep trying to get me to "move up" (I've had a gold card since 1976) but after looking at it I don't get anything more from silver and black than gold, except it costs more.

I started using it a lot more about 5 years ago and the scary thing was how much money I actually spent at the local watering hole.

We just put our pool on a Visa card. They didn't take Amex but the Visa is the United card so I get more miles. Big chunk for an extra $1K.
