There are some days when God just seems to smile on me… almost as if He had forgotten that I was supposed to be a marked man and as a result let a blessing through by accident. 

This one came in the form of only having to pay $300 for auto body work which would have normally cost me as much as $1,900 had I gone with somebody else.  They even polished it too!

So I was outside cleaning up my sleek black ride afterwards, and putting a new hitch cover in when I heard, “Wow that’s a NICE ride!”

I looked up and it was an old dude.  “Yep, sure is.”

He then hooked me into a conversation, and after chatting a bit about my baby, he seemed surprised that I had gotten the car out of state.  That was the only way I could get it for under the invoice price though, which is virtually unheard of in this town.

“My daughter is looking to buy just this car too,” he said.

“Is she seeing anybody?”  I quickly asked.

“Uh, no…, um, she’s married and has two kids.”

“Oh.”

Awkward silence.

“Well it was nice talking to you.  Again, nice car!”  He quickly walked away.

Was it something I said?
