Well, that wasn't very helpful. Nikki's only guesses are LOVING IN LOVE and DIVING ON HOLE, none which are close to the actual answer of FIXING MY BIKE, so she's out with $26,440 cash & trips. The Ford Explorer was in play here.
Closing Chat: Vanna still rides bikes, but Pat doesn't anymore.
Personal Rating: 5 (orig. a 6)
