Wrong car

Posted on February 8, 2012 by tazscott

Yes, there was a car just like ours but I didn’t fall for it this time (I learned my lesson last time: http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2011/07/11/why-does-the-car-smell/ )  I’m really kicking myself for not letting Courtney go and get in the wrong car 😉
