She understands that when she wanted a Lexus CS that she saw, she wrote out a check for it. I got to drive it home, My B'day present to myself was a NOS 21mm 2.8 Elmarit pre-Aspheric for 1 kilobuck. Store will be nameless. They even gave me a certificate to have it 6-bit encoded. But I have NO digital cameras! So I will give it away, (No not the lens, the certificate!)
