You're so I, I flew to LA.
The goal was to buy a,
a convertible and drive it to San Francisco.
I wanted to win in my hair and success.
And I brought my girlfriend, who's now my wife, and embarrassed myself because the guy was like, no, sorry, your credit is terrible.
I just checked it.
He's like, oh, wait a second.
I know who you are.
You were one of those PayPal guys.
You just had a big successful IPO, huh?
I was like, yeah.
So how about a car?
He's like, cash.
You can pay me cash and I'll sell you a car.
So I actually...
Went to, like, I literally got my bank at the time to wire the dealership the full price of the car.
And they're like, okay, you can drive it off the lot.
But I was supposed to leave to drive back to San Francisco at, like, 2 p.m.
We left L.A.
at, like, 6 or 7.
