Looks like I can make it up there in the morning for a few hours. I need to be back down to Champlin about noon. I guess I'll stop by The Square Peg tomorrow to talk to Phil, see what he knows. Paul.

This was my thought as well. They want $84 over and above the auction price. That's unreasonable in my view. And for cars, you pay sales tax in state when you license the car. From the background and
