Chapter 77
“Now there’s a good reason to buy a particular car.”
“Don’t be sarcastic. I’m serious.”
“Sorry, babe. Have you thought about other makes and models?”
“I want to buy American, and both GM and Chrysler took all that money from the government…. Let’s go home and get my car, then we can go looking.”
“Is there enough availability in the account to write a check today?”
“Availability?”
“You deposited a huge check, but the bank may well have put a hold on some or all of it—the teller should have explained that to you when you deposited such a large check.”
“She might have mumbled something that I didn’t understand.”
“And you didn’t ask her to repeat herself?”
“I didn’t think it was important. Can’t we go online and look it up?”
“As soon as we get home.”
