Happy New Year!I'm doing this for Susan's microFiction Monday. You can too! Just write a short tale (fiction preferred) about this picture in less than 140 characters and spaces. Then tell her and wait for the critique and praises! Here goes my entry:
Texaco Star, The Way To Go!
Bernard was so sold on the stuff that he sold his car to buy some more.
His are now worth a cool million.

Sounds as though he traded in that car for a limo. I'd take some of that luck. :)
