Even a Wise Fool wants to come out ahead once in a while, especially when it comes to fancy wheels.

A personal note: this story debuted in June of 1991, just three weeks after my father, the author of these stories from the mid-70s, passed away suddenly. It was the first story I was responsible for providing for the monthly Friday night services. There's no particular emotional connection to the story itself, but I will always remember it...as do many who were there that evening...as the first. The show must go on, and so it continued.
