^^^^^Yes on both accounts.
I've been guilty of the same as this 'ol boy. Some things a guy just can't let go of.
I was talking to a friend of mines father Glen years ago. He said he had bought a new '54 Corvette just as he was finishing Army basic training. Owned it 3 days
He had a weekend pass, bought it on a friday after noon, said it really scooted. Rolled it on a curve headed back to base sunday evening. He said he got thrown out, not much left of the car, but it was fun while it lasted!
