Dear List,

I guess I must be a meteorite dealer and a used car dealer too. I have sold
over seven of my personal used cars the past few years trying to reduce
overhead and the headaches of both insurance and maintenance. I do not
think this qualifies me as a used car dealer. Just a thought.

All the best,

Adam
