I stand in awe of both of you gentlemen!

Way back in the last century (like from the 1950s to later 1980s) when we
had our Ford tractor dealership I would get a lot of kidding about the way I
would prep out ("Hey, its only a tractor, not a Lincoln") a used/trade-in
tractor.  I once had an 8N tractor sold to a pair of "older unmarried
sisters" (read the non-PC term of old maids here) who had purchased and paid
for the tractor before we had even unloaded it from the original trade-in.
After about a week or so of work we delivered it and they were quite
insistent that they did not purchase a new tractor and would not pay any
more money.  I had to insist that this was indeed the tractor they purchased
and there would not be any more money needed.  We all laughed about that so
some time afterwards.
