got roped in midtown Manhattan when I was drunk and 17 yrs old…. never forgave nor forgot… $30 meant a lot to me back then in 84…
My input is meagre- EVERY SINGLE TIME you feel pressured by someone do do something that you do not want to do financially… who themselves will benefit whether or not it hits the fan later… insult them as elegantly as possible to their face.
Of course, my condolences to those who bent to the pressure and are paying a high price.
Gen’rally I am a pacifist.. but now and again I think the punch in the teeth is about an appropriate an action as can be thought of.
Rusty- $14k for a Sentra…sheesh… ouch! Takes a man to admit such things.
