To Flip or Not to Flip.... that is the question.

So my wife challenged me to a friendly bet.  She said I couldn't make money flipping a car; I said I could.  So she said, "Prove it."  So I did.....

I decided to stick to something with wide appeal.  I live in Texas, so the natural choice was a pickup truck.  I started looking and quickly found this 1970 Chevy C-10.  I was in OUTSTANDING condition:


Long-bed, 350 V8, Auto trans, power steering, new interior, and best of all... no rust!



The problem was - I wanted to keep it!  It had the 5-lug conversion, front disk brakes, and did I mention no rust.  But I ended up meeting a guy who made me a good offer, so I sold it after owning it for three weeks.  I almost doubled my money.  And my wife was a good sport, conceding that I "won" the bet.  On to the next one...
