How to make an enemy

Decades ago, I was at a GSA auction. They were getting rid of many cars, inlcuding early 1960s Lark station wagon. I really didn't need any more Studies at that time, but...



I went and signed out the keys and started the statiinary look over. It idled roughly. I saw that two sparkplug wires were wrong and repositioned them so it ran smoothly. Then. I looked up and saw a man giving me a really hateful look,



I returned the keys.made a low bid and walked away.I t was only then that I figured out the nasty look!I


Switching plug wires is a common trick at auctions.

After they car is sold the buyer points out the car does not run and asks for a price adjustment.

I thought that he had made it run bad to stop priice rise to what it should be - never tho9ught of equesting a discount aafter biding was done.

that was you?!?!
