- Yes, sure.

Hold on. Hold on. I heard

somebody say, "Go." Oh, Lord.

She talk too damn much.

Can I go with y'all?

Okay. Maybe you can keep an eye on

Okay, close your trunk, son.

Close your trunk.

No offense to y'all car,

'cause this a nice car.

But this bring back memories, child.

I was sitting up there, and I kept

hitting my head on that steering wheel.

It was just awful.

It was an awful time.

Look. The door even sound the same.

Child, this is just what it's...

Yep, that bring back memories.

Watch this.

That car built for comfort and

built for speed, just like me.
