    Would you consider me? 72 years old, I bring no book of business, no experience as a broker. I would require a mid 6 figure salary ( decimal point at the end of the 6 figures) and a 3 day work week, company car and of course a company credit card. I can start immediately.

    A word of an old man's wisdom can sober up a wandering mind.

    I called a few dealers in the Midwest about new Cascadia Trucks and they are sold out for this year. Really, how come they're so popular?
    You can find a few dealers with stock spec'd Volvos but nicely spec'd though - one of them sent me a proposal for the big arse cabin Volvo:

    VOLVO D13 500HP 2100RPM 1850/1550 LBFT ECO-
    TORQUE PERFORMANCE - EPA'21 EMISSION LEVEL
    $ 161,350

    I am itching there...and will have to pour a few buckets of cold water on my head before pulling the trigger.

    Alternatively, you could get similar from the Lone Mountain lease. They are asking for $14 500 down and then 60 payments of $2,680 afer which they give you the title (but...what if they don't?).

    Done deal. Prerequisite... must be able to do a back flip. Flat foot no aid. :D

    72 doesn’t bother me a bit though. Older the bull, stiffer the horn. lol

    It's sometimes tempting, but prying my wife away from the Twin Cities would require a bigger lever than I got, lol.

    Well, I can fall backwards off of a barstool, land on my back and not spill my drink, does that count?

    LOL! See, I knew it. I’ve always had more in common with a 72 yr old then a 36 yr old. ;):D
