Fanny Fun Fact: When I was a car salesman, we used the NADA guide, which was yellow. But we still called it blue book value.

Probably Xeroxed some of those pages on the Konica copier, too. : :D

Who do you think I worked for, the Rolls Royce dealership? (Yes, we actually had one of those in town when I was a kid. Used to go just to look at the cars in the lot.) We used carbon paper just like all good Americans did BITD!
