We'll i have the vehicle cost worked out ... I have a client in South Carolina (Chysler Dealership) of which i did a boat name for the owner, and in the process of doing the name, got to talking and i mentioned that i loved and wanted the aspen (not knowing at the time he owned a dealership) ... anyways, long story short, i told him my wife was prego and that i would love to have one, and he was so happy with his boat name, that when he got back to SC, he instructed his Sales mangers and marketing people to use me for their promotional supplies (signs banners etc ...) and we have a "Credit Contract" ... basically i am doing their work (about 12k so far) and running a tab, which i get to cash in at the time of purchase ... guy even calls me to make sure his people are doing the right things and not being pains to deal with ...
Sometimes you are just in the right place at the right time ...
As far as gas, that is something I/We all have to deal with, i am not going to live my life around the gas pump.
