necessary toiletries laid out for your use. This is always a
great way to stock up on towels for your own living
quarters. I have a collection of white towels that furnish
every bathroom in my house. All the extras are great for
dishrags and washing and waxing cars.

Mornings in hotels are also good for complimentary
continental breakfasts, which are commonly laid out
buffet-style for the guests. If I bring reuseable containers, I
can usually steal enough food for lunch, too. Hotels are
also a great place to pick up a nice set of silverware
instead of buying it. A buffet setup often leaves all of the
spoons, knives, and forks out for the guests to take for
themselves. Dishes are a little harder to steal, and hotel
dishes usually look like hotel dishes, but if you want them
... well, there's no accounting for taste.

One morning I woke up knowing I had to drive down the
coast to have lunch with a friend and pick up some

home in the Mustang that day. My response was that I
wanted to drive it around for the day and get a better feel
for the car. Five minutes later, they had filled the tank and
sent my on my merry way. When I returned it, I told the
dealer that I had promised to look at my mother's friend's
Mustang, which she had just bought and did not like. I said
she was offering it to me for a great price, but that I hated
the color, so I would be back in the morning to buy the one
I borrowed. I never called him back.

Two days later I had to drive down the coast again and had
the same dilemma: beautiful day and no convertible. This
time I went to the BMW dealership and gave the dealer the
same line. He was a tougher egg to crack because he
wanted proof that I had the money in the form of bank
statements. This was a big hurdle. I had to have that
