The current owner brought it by for me to check it out today. This is the first time I’ve seen it since July of 2013. We went for a short ride in it and I fell in love all over again. The engine ran smooth, the Cherry Bomb glasspacks proudly rumbing through the neighborhood.

I want it back. Time to start saving up for it, I think.

It’s not actually for sale right now, but if it was, way more than I can afford.

I mean, you can say “I was a former owner” and he can give you a special discount

Don’t think he’ll give me a 100% discount. I’m broke. Also, he bought it from us, so I don’t have to tell him I used to own it.

Well yeah but he can give you a 99% discount right? Right?

Falcon is a nice little sedan. I like the size, but if I’m honest, I prefer a four-door. The guys on Roadkill deride four-door sedans, but I have always liked the aesthetic. Designed for humans to ride around in. I guess I’m just a family man.

Do I remember you saying you worked on that car with Pops?

time to start stacking up all your nickels and dimes that you have laying around. how much had you guys sold it to em for ?....... make sure you get yourself put in line now, up near the front of it . that way you can have a good shot of actually being able to buy it back ......

This is a Fairlane. Bigger than the Falcon, smaller than the Galaxie.

Not really. That was one of the reasons we sold it, I didn’t work on it with him the few times we did stuff to it.

Yes, I recall that, now that you remind me.
