...And then Jay Leno shows up one day (perhaps in disguise, as Elvis learned how to do so that he could occasionally sneak out of his "pretty cage," as he called Graceland), offering you--after some haggling--a cashier's check a million dollars (or perhaps $3.5 million) bigger than what you paid for the car! :-)
