<VV> Look at a car for me?

[jay m]

Since you're willing to travel a ways, you might throw an ad in 
Craigslist from time to time.
While VV (and probably FV) members may be willing to help out for free, 
throwing some $$ in would let you do a bit more than most folks 
would/could do  for free.

out of curiosity, what did you work at before "retiring"?
