I normally charge 3K for that Tow but Ol' Perry is LOADED so I dinged him a little harder than most. Perry usually pays CASH but I have never had a problem with a check.

Better deal than I would offer . . . but then I am not trying to scam you either

Welder on the other side is nicer than me and he accepts anyone's cheque at face value

If you wanted to, you could have a lot of fun with this...
