This quote did not originate with me. It came from a Class 3 Dealer in Indiana, who said the "Quote" at Knob Creek, with a big circle of other Class 3 dealers, who all became outraged. After he said it, I asked him for the source, and he gave me one that sounded credible.... later, after it went into print, and everyone got all excited about it, I called him for the source again... he waffled, and said he really didn't know where it came from, but "It sounded like it would be true, didn't it?"I got quite an education on that, it was the first time in 15 years that I had ever let something that important go without writing it down first.... and yes, it did "Sound like it would be true" in that time period. Very embarrassing, but a good insight into the birth of an "urban legend."
