We got a car!

This is a week of acquisitions. Amnon has been looking for a used car with a lot of frustration. Since he understands cars, he isn’t easily duped when owners or dealers misrepresent the mileage on a car, or deny that a car has been in an accident. All the cars he has looked at appear to have odometers that are “turned back.” I suppose that bad behaviors then beget more bad behaviors, because if your car legitimately has 50,000 Km on it, you can’t leave it as such because you will be competing with the cars that have 100,000 Km that have been modified to some much lower mileage. Today he went on one of his weekly hunts….and returned with a gray 7-seater Scorpio. Let the journeys begin! We have all been traveling lots, without a car, using taxis and rickshaws. The experience is starting to wear on the boys, who are constantly negotiating and arguing with drivers that are doubling their fees for their white passengers.
