One of the guys at the office, our Electrical Engineer, Larry Goetz, told me he would sell me his Olds Delta 88 (This is not it, I don't have a photo of this car, either):

But that is the right color, and it was cold when I owned it.
Larry was a good guy and was trying to help me out. In my youth I probably didn't realize that he was doing me a big favor, and I did not return the pleasure.
I did not like that car, and started trying to sell it as soon as I took possession. For some reason, I was acquainted with a recent Russian immigrant. He wanted the Olds, and I sold it to him less than a month after Larry sold it to me, at a profit. I didn't even have clear title!
Not something I am particularly proud of, but there you have it. I made some money, but upset Larry.
If you are out there Larry, sorry about that. I was just a dumb kid.
