Everyone has heard the story from Genesis about the fall of Adam and Eve.

You know, Adam and Eve are enjoying life in Eden, walking around naked and not realizing it (uh hello!), until one day Eve is tired of Adam being always underfoot. She wants to free up some time to go gathering. (This is thousands of years B.S., Before Shopping). So she says, "Adam you really need to do something. For instance, check out that tree over there with the beautiful red-skinned fruit with the luscious light colored interior."

"But Eve honey", he says, "The big guy doesn’t want us to have it. That’s forbidden fruit."

"But Adam," she says, "you deserve it."

So Adam goes over to the tree to check it out. There he finds a devilish snake who encourages him to try it. This leads to a life-changing experience.

Fast-forward to 2008.

Here’s Bill enjoying life in the desert, with Sue and a beautiful 1995 Corvette coupe. He’s looking forward to a trip to Oregon in September. Sue surprises him one day by saying that he deserves to get a new Corvette. And wouldn’t it be better to travel across country in a newer car that is under warrantee? (This is after Shawn and Weez get a beautiful black convertible and Mike and Sandy get a beautiful Atomic Orange coupe.)

"Uh, okay," he says. "Let’s go over to Jessup and take a look"

There they meet up with sales guy David Moreno who tries to find out exactly what Bill and Sue are looking for. "Well," Bill says, "I would like to see a basic red coupe." Sue adds, "He wants a Crystal Red coupe with that luscious light-colored interior."

David feeds that data to the computer and replies that this late in the model year they can’t find that combination within 250 miles and if we insist on that combination, it would have to be ordered. In that case it probably wouldn’t be here in time for that September trip because of the factory shutdown for model changeover.

David points out that they have a convertible in stock with that color combination. Sue tells him, "Bill is forbidden to have a convertible. He’s a skin cancer Survivor". About that time this devilish sales manager, Chris, interjects, "Nobody drives around in the desert daytime with the top down. But, after the sun goes down its more fun than humans are allowed to have."

Well that comment, and an offer to try it out for the night, led to a life-changing experience.
