Thanks for the explanation. Now I know I'm just a dummy. I never figured that out. I'd better just stay away from auctions because I just don't know (or like) how they work.

To me, the whole experience is more like looking for a wife by calling an escort service!

I believe under one of the Man Laws there is a specifically defined attribute to look for when going for a test ride.
