Next up, it was time to sell my Toyota Highlander. I listed it for sale on Craigslist and sold it for $15,000. Delivered it to a swimsuit warehouse factory in East LA where the owner counted out the cash for me. Since I no longer had a car, his teenage son drove me back to Culver City to stay with Vanessa for a night. Maybe not the smarted decision I'd ever made, but also nice to know you can still trust strangers from time to time, even in a city as large and tough as LA.
