-- Nope, I'm not Canadian; -- Ummm, I've only been to Canada once; and -- Other than living in the country south of it, I have no real connection to Canada (other than knowing some real cool people who live up there).
A Redneck from Arkansas walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan officer. He told the loan officer that he was going to Paris for an international redneck festival for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was not a depositor of the bank.
The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Redneck handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Redneck produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest.
Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Redneck from the south for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's private underground garage and parked it.
Two weeks later, the Redneck returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The loan officer said, 'Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out on Dunn & Bradstreet and found that you are a distinguished Alumni from the University of Arkansas , a highly sophisticated investor and Multi-Millionaire with real estate and financial interests all over the world. Your investments include a large number of wind turbines around Sweec00cher, Texas . What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?
The good 'ole Arkansas boy replied, Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?

1983 Mercury Cougar a little over 94,000 miles I just bought it not to long ago but I am a single older female on disability and I can't afford to put a heater core in it. The motor runs like a new one smooth as can be. Has a little scuff on the back bumper but other wise no dings or dents. The title when I got it was the original and had 50 miles on it and was still in the 1983 envelope from the DMV. I would be interested in a trade for small pick up or mini van or a decent car as long as it is dependable and good shape. Willing to consider any trades but I cant pay difference it has to be equal value or you pay me if less. 417-631-6207 leave a message if no answer please.
Not to sound negative, but I believe I've seen this car before.
