The good news is

I now have the money to pay for the registration on my car. ($288) Registration is rather expensive in California.

The bad news is my wife had to go to the casino to win the money.

Actually, that's a Corvette. I can only imagine what they pay. I'm glad my Corvette days are behind me. I now drive a Nissan Sentra. It's a nice car and only one year old, but it's on the low end of registration charges.

Funny thing is, when she left to go to the casino, I told her to see if she could win enough to pay for the registration. We both laughed. She did that plus another $150 or so.

8. I will admit to being a bit of a gear head in my younger days.

At my age, almost 69, I have no business being in a car that can go 180 mph anymore. Nor do I have the budget for it after retiring.

6. That's pretty cheap. My year old Hyundai Kona is going to cost me $309.

Of course, the 1998 Saturn will be $35, so there’s that.
