A long time ago I got real lucky on a car deal I did with a guy. He wrote me a check and was supposed to b getting a loan or something then I could cash the check. He talked me into letting him take the car. After about a week of bs I finally had to go get this car back. I was very lucky I got the car back and was able to later sell it. That could have turned out bad. Very stupid on my part.
