Quotes first and then observations.
QUOTE
It all reminded January of her brother, whose narcissism was only equaled by his obnoxiousness.
Have known a few (thankfully
only a few) of those.
QUOTE
She did not expect someone living in Bloomfield Hills to con her.
Naivete, thy name is “January”.
Wheels! Crowgirl is gonna have wheels! I still remember my 1966 Mustang fondly. She was not in great condition (some holes in the floor pan), nor was she a monster (in-line 6 with a 3-speed instead of the 289 V-8), and she had her quirks (the transmission would kick itself out of third if you slowed below what she considered "reasonable"). But she was my first vehicle, paid for with my own money and she did have that pony car handling... So I am right there with you, Jan. Or where you will be when Avery works his magic.
A good contrast between the "Gucci biker's" casual abuse of his fortune (and his toys) and Jan's awareness of the ACTUAL cost of things, because she has had to WORK for them.
